Steal A Feed While They’re Hot!
(I’m working in a deli at a popular store. We have roughly fourteen items in the hot box still waiting to be bought. I’m the only one there and so I go to make a call over the PA to the customers in the store. I end up saying the following instead of my original plan.)
Me: “Good Evening, [Store], and welcome to customers. If you’re wanting a nice late night feed, head over to the the hotter box for some great meals for a late night feed. All items up to 80% off, so why not steal a feed and feel good about it. Thanks for shopping at customers, the fresh food people!”
(A coworker has returned back to the deli without me knowing. I turn around, and he looks at me and states:)
Coworker: “What the heck did you just say?”
Me: “That we had food in the hot box to go?”
Coworker: “Not quite, [My Name]. Not quite exactly.”
(Meanwhile, a customer has come over to the hot box and approaches us.)
Customer: “Is this where I can steal a feed tonight?”
(Needless to say, no one has let it go with me yet.)
