Timing Was Not Their Chief Concern

(Because we’re in Eastern Kansas, it’s quite a big deal when the Kansas City Chiefs win the playoffs and go to the Super Bowl. My store gets a lot of merchandise in which sells very quickly. This happens the day of the game. Kickoff is at 5:30 pm. This occurs at 5:25 pm.)

Customer: “Where are all of your Chiefs shirts? Surely you have them?”

Me: “Sorry, we’ve sold out.”

Customer: “How can you be out?”

Me: “They sold like that.” *snaps my fingers*

Customer: “I don’t need Super Bowl stuff. Just the older stuff is fine.”

Me: “Sorry, we’ve sold out of that, too.”

(The customer settled for a plain red shirt. It’s not my fault she waited until literally five minutes before kickoff to buy a shirt.)
