Phoney Request
(Our store phone rings. A customer answers it before I can get to it.)
Customer: “Hello?”
Me: “I’m sorry, that is the store phone. Please hand it over to me.”
Customer: “Go away! I’m trying to have a conversation here!”
(I step forward to take the phone away. I hear talking from the other end of the phone.)
Caller: “Why, hello there! Can I order some tampons, some birth control pills, and a thong?”
(Both the customer and caller are male. The customer gets embarrassed and thrusts the phone into my hands.)
Me: “Sorry about that, sir. What would you like?”
Caller: “Oh good, that idiot’s gone. Do you have any Metallica CDs in stock?”
