The Race(ist) For The Last Chicken
(I work late shifts, and mark down items to their final reduction.)
Customer: “Have you not got any more cheap chicken?”
Me: “No, sir, the lady just over there took our last pack, unfortunately.”
(I gesture towards a small, lovely, Indian lady, who had come by and picked up some chicken breasts I just marked down.)
Customer: “I’m not racist, but f****** p**** are always turning up and taking all the good stuff early! You can never stay one step ahead of them d*** foreigners!”
Me: “Well, we have a first come, first served policy. Regardless of who she is, she was here first.”
Customer: “Yeah, but you know what I mean! They come over here, and take everything for granted. They do what they f****** like, and take our cheap food! You follow me, don’t ya’?”
Me: “Well, no, I don’t. Like I said, we have a first come, first served policy. We also have a policy against incendiary language, and I’m going to have to ask you to leave. Here’s a little hint for you; when you say “I’m not racist, but—”, it usually means you’re about to be racist. The exit’s third on the left.”
