Wake Up And Smell The… Coffee…
I am working the counter at a coffee shop. A customer comes up.
Customer: “Are you human?”
Me: *Thinking he’s joking* “I hope so.”
Customer: “Hmm…”
He leans over and takes a long uncomfortable sniff.
Customer: “You know when you stretch piercings?”
Me: “I think so.”
Customer: “And they start smelling.”
Me: “No? I don’t actually have piercings, sorry.”
Customer: “Like smelly stretched piercings. That’s you.”
He turns around and leaves.
I’m a bit confused and sniff under my arm. I can’t smell anything, so I ask a colleague who’s just come out from the kitchen.
Me: “Do I smell?”
Colleague: *Sniffs me* “Yeah, like grapefruit. Why?”
After telling her about the customer, she just shrugged.
Definitely the weirdest conversation I’ve had here.
