That Only Comes With The Seasonal Pass

(We sell games and toys. Because of our convenient location in the shopping center, customers often wander in looking for products we don’t carry. The most commonly asked-for items are calendars, greeting cards, souvenirs, and candy. A middle-aged woman walks in on a Saturday afternoon.)

Coworker: “Welcome!”

Customer: “Do you just sell games?”

Coworker: “Um, yep, games!”

Customer: “Oh. Because I was just looking for… like a baptismal bonnet.”

Me: “Oh, sorry. No, we don’t sell clothing.”

(The customer leaves.)

Me: *to coworker* “I think that tops the list of strange things people have asked for!”
