There Is Mulch To Joke About

(I work as a cashier at a store that sells home improvement merchandise. I am working in the garden center. If the customer needs a large quantity of something they will pay for it first and pick it up in the parking lot where we keep a huge supply of mulch, soil, etc.)

Customer: “Can I get 20 bags of mulch?”

Me: *completely straight face* “No.”

Customer: *dumbfounded look on his face* “Umm…”

Coworker: “[My Name]!”

Me: *with a huge smile on my face* “Of course you can!”

(I ring the customer up and my coworker speaks to him.)

Coworker: “Sorry about that, sir. She is mean to every 25th customer. Looks like you were the 25th.”

(The customer paid and was chuckling and smiling as he walked out to his vehicle.)
