What A Crap Idea
It’s at the peak of toilet-paper-based panic-buying. I am working at the counter of a chocolate shop and making small talk with a couple of customers as I check them out.
Customer #1: “It’s all so crazy, isn’t it?”
Me: “Oh, I know. I’ve even been worried that when people use the bathroom they’ll steal all of our toilet rolls!”
Customer #1: “That would be terrible!”
Customer #2: “Ooh! You all should make toilet-roll-shaped chocolates!”
Customer #1: “That’s a great idea!”
Customer #2: “Made of white chocolate!”
Customer #1: “Even better, white chocolate with splatters of milk chocolate on the outside!”
Me: *Awkward pause* “Yeah. Well, here you are. Thanks for coming in!”
Customer #2: *Walking out the door* “Seriously, do it! You’ll do great business!”
I actually lost that job soon after because of the outbreak but I don’t think poo-themed chocolates would have saved it.
