That’s One Shell Of A Cat-astrophe
Me: “Welcome to [business name]. How can I help you?”
Couple: “We need a carpet cleaner. We saw this one in the ad.”
Me: “It’s right over here.” *takes them to the cleaner*
Couple: “We have cat vomit everywhere.”
Me: “Well, this should help. Here are some of its features—”
Couple: “We can’t even have company over. It’s embarrassing. There is so much cat vomit on the floor!”
Me: “Well, this one over here has better brushes.” *demonstrates another product*
Couple: “If our landlord were to see it, we’d get evicted. There is so much cat vomit!”
Me: “Well, this model is what I recommend.” *still showing features*
Couple: “…and the cats drag their meat all over the house.”
Me: “…I’m sorry?”
Couple: “We feed them raw meat, and they keep dragging it all over the house. It gets in the carpet!”
Me: “Wow. Yeah, this should help get that out.”
Couple: “We’ll take it. What sort of soap can we use with this?”
Me: “It doesn’t matter; it doesn’t have to be the same brand. Here’s some.” *shows them some soap*
Couple: “Is that going to be safe for our turtle?”
Me: “Huh?”
Couple: “We also have a turtle that we let roam around. This soap won’t hurt him, will it?”
