This Family Business Is A Joke
(I work at a well known shoe store. We wear tags bearing the name of the store, but not our names. A customer comes in and looks at my tag.)
Customer: “So… your name’s Rockport?”
Me: “Yep, it’s a family name. My dad started the business, and he wants me to learn it from the ground up.”
Customer: “Really? That’s so admirable!”
(I gesture to a few coworkers wearing the same name tag.)
Me: “Yup, all the Rockport kids learn the business this way.”
Customer: “All of you? Wow!”
(I can’t quite believe she hasn’t caught on by this point, so I take pity.)
Me: “What can I help you find…?”
