They Have A Listening Allergy
(I work for a beekeeper selling honey. We have one type specifically for allergies. Honey sticks, however, are pasteurized, and thus have zero allergy benefits.)
Customer: “Hi, I’d like to buy five honey sticks.”
Me: “Okay, that’ll be one dollar.”
Customer: “Thanks. I’d like to try them for my allergies.”
Me: “Oh, well, if you need something for allergies, I’d recommend [allergy specific honey].”
Customer: “Nah, I’ll take the sticks.”
Me: “Well, we sell the sticks for snacks, but they are pasteurized and have no allergy benefits.”
Customer: “That’s fine.” *turns to husband/boyfriend* “Hey, babe, these will help my allergies.”
Me: “Ma’am, these have no allergy benefits; even if they weren’t pasteurized, you’d need to eat at least five a day.”
Customer: “Great! I’ll put one in my tea. That’ll help my allergies then, too, right?”
Me: *stunned* “Suuuure.”
Customer: “Wonderful!” *hands me a dollar*
