Oh, My Odd, Run Away!
Our shop has a weird layout, and it makes more sense if you’re actually standing in it, but I don’t have the time or patience to try to describe the layout here. A customer comes up to me looking lost.
Customer: “Help! I am trying to find the cheese and dairy aisle, but I can’t find it for the life of me.”
Me: “Haha, I get it. This is a very big shop! Oh, that’s in aisle fourteen.”
Customer: “Thank you.”
The customer looks up at the aisle numbers and looks puzzled.
Customer: “I can only see aisles five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, fifteen…”
Me: “Yeah, our store is weird; the even-numbered aisles are behind you, around the corner.”
Customer: “That’s very odd.”
Me: “Yeah, I—”
The customer is beaming at me.
Me: “Oh, haha. I fell for that one. Very good!”
Customer: “I was looking for the cheese, but the odds were against me.”
Me: *Walking away* “Very good, sir!”
Customer: “Thanks for even-ing everything out!”
Me: *Picking up the pace*
