Those Toys Will Burrow Their Way Into Your Brain

Early in my [Store] days, I have a customer with one of those annoying kids’ toys. We have a nice conversation about how annoying it is and how she is giving it to her niece to annoy her sister. I get to the end of the order and start to say, “Would you like to apply for a [Store] card?” but instead the toy goes off again.

Me: “Would you like to shut up now?”

I immediately realized what I said, covered my face, and started shrinking behind my register until I could no longer be seen. Luckily, after explaining my brain fart, the customer found it hilarious.
