This Clown Needs Material That Wasn’t Written In The 90s

Customer: “Hey, can I ask you something?”

Me: *expecting a product-related question* “Sure!”

Customer: “Have you seen the clowns in [Popular Supermarket Chain] that hide from gay people?”

Me: “Excuse me?”

(The customer repeats the question while his wife smirks at me and says:)

Customer’s Wife: “He’s telling you that you’re gay.”

(While I’m heterosexual, I am an avid gay rights activist.)

Me: “Yes, I am.”

(The customer’s eyes widened as he gaped at me. I smiled. He exited quickly while his wife glanced over her shoulder in shock. No one’s sexuality should ever be the punchline of a joke!)
