Wanted An Extra-Happy Meal
(I work the front counter on one of the tills, with my boss fixing the ice cream machine standing a foot behind me, when a customer walks up.)
Me: “Welcome to [Store]. What can I get for you today?”
Customer: “A cheeseburger and fries.”
Me: “That will be [price].”
(The customer hands over the money and then says in the same volume and tone of voice used to order:)
Customer: “Want to buy some drugs?”
Me: “No, thank you.”
(The customer then found a seat in the middle of the lobby… and spread out his wares in little pill bottles. Everyone in the store was staring at this guy, as my manager, also plainly visible to everyone in the store, was on the phone with the cops and could not stop snickering under her breath. The rest of the staff and customers waiting in line now proceeded to find comfortable spots to watch as this oblivious idiot got arrested.)
