We Need One Of These In Every Store, Part 2
(At the front of our store is a bin full of loose fantasy figurines. One night, two pre-teen boys come in and start rounding up all the fairy princesses they can find, naming each one after adult film actresses. They proceed to stage some pretty graphic stuff with the toys, complete with language and racial slurs.)
Me: “You kids drop those toys, right now! This is a family store, you got it? You either clean your language up or get out of here. NOW!”
(The boys stare at me open-mouthed. One of them squeaks, “Yes, ma’am,” and they both drop the toys and run.)
Coworker: “Wow! Way to go!”
Me: “Yeah, you don’t mess with the Toy Store Amazon.”
