Smoked Sausage
(I’m working the till on a morning shift in the middle of the week and it’s fairly quiet, as it’s the time of day when most people are at work or school, when a customer walks up to the bakery stand and makes a show of reading the labels on the bags of sausage rolls.)
Customer: *loudly, but to nobody in particular* “Good!”
(He walks up to my till and places a couple of bags of the sausage rolls and a few other items on it.)
Customer: *sounding very proud of himself* “I saw there weren’t any genetically modified ingredients on the label. It says if they are now.” *Note that such a law has been recently implemented in the USA, but it’s been the case here for over a year* “It’s important to be careful about what you eat.”
(I didn’t want to argue, so I just nodded and brought up the weather. After I ring up his purchases…)
Me: “Can I get you anything else?”
Customer: “25 grams of [Rolling Tobacco].”
(After I handed it over, he didn’t bother to check the label.)
