They’re Magically Cannibalicious!

(I work in a small store in Northern Ireland where we sell some American imports but for quite a bit more expensive prices.)

Me: “That’ll be £6.95, ma’am.”

Customer: “How dare you try to scam your customers?!”

Me: “Excuse me?”

Customer: “Selling Lucky Charms for seven dollars? That is preposterous. At home, they are only two dollars in [Major Chain].”

Me: “Well, ma’am, we do have to import them… This is Northern Ireland.”

Customer: “This is part of Ireland?”

Me: “I guess you could say that.”

Customer: “I’m so sorry! I didn’t think about how I might be offending you! Don’t worry, this cereal isn’t really leprechauns. We wouldn’t eat your relatives!” *pays and leaves without the cereal*

(My manager got a call later that night saying that the cereal was for me and that she was very sorry for “acting like some sort of cannibal.”)
