The Joke Stops Here

Manager: “Can you check the SKU for this, please?”

(My manager hands me the item so I can scan it. I try to find the barcode, but both the manager and I notice that the tag or label appears to be missing.)

Me: *mockingly* “Har har har, it must be free!”

Manager: “F*** YOU! I may not be able to do anything about customers who tell that stupid a** joke, but as for you, this ends here!”

(This marks the first and last time I’ve ever used a ‘customer joke!’)
