Soap: The New Munchies

I work for a soap store. Two boys come in, acting kind of strangely, and my younger coworker doesn’t feel comfortable helping them. I offer to show them around the store a little. After a little while of them overreacting to some products that I test for them; bath-bombs, lotion, etc., we are at the soap wall. 

Boy #1: “Wow, these all smell amazing, bro.”

Boy #2: “Dude, look at this.”

He holds up a fruit-scented soap.

Boy #2: “It smells like a pear, bro!”

Me: “I love fruit-scented things. Do you have a specific scent you might like or…?”

Boy #1: “I. LOVE. Mint. Like, bro. I love fruit so much.”

Me: “Fruit and mint? How about this one?”

I hold up a soap for him to smell.

Both Boys: “Woah!”

Me: *Laughs* “I’m glad you like it.”

Boy #1: “Dude, I’m like—” *looks at me* “—can I be, like, super honest with you right now?”

Me: “Uh…”

Boy #1: “We’re like. Mega stoned right now. And I kinda feel like I’m floating.”

Me: *Shook* “O-oh!”

Boy #2: “Dude, our movie is gonna start soon.”

Boy #1: “Oh, s***, bro, you’re right. But lady! Thanks for the soaps and stuff!”

I never saw them again but I laugh about it to this day.
