One Way To Elon-gate The Checkout Process
I am checking out a couple at my checkout lane. One of them has been distracted on their phone.
Customer #1: “Did we forget anything?”
Customer #2: *On their phone.*
Customer #1: “Hey! Did we forget anything?”
Customer #2: “Oh… sorry. No, I don’t think so.”
Customer #1: “What’s so distracting on your phone?”
Customer #2: *Matter of factly.* “Nothing much, just the president and the richest man in the world getting into a fight on social media.”
Customer #1: “Really?”
Customer #2: “Yeah, look.” *Shows the phone.* “And then he said this. And then he said this back.”
[Customer #1] then gasps.
Customer #1: “We did forget something! The popcorn!”
I’m not sure if it was intentional, but the mental image of this couple enjoying popcorn over that very public falling out gave me a light chuckle. Gotta laugh or you’ll cry, right?
