What Kind Of Pack Mentality Is This?!

Customer: *Pointing to the cigarettes.* “I’d like Salem Light 100s.”

Me: “I’m sorry, we don’t have Salem Light 100s. We have—”

Customer: “—Yes, I want Salem Light 100s.”

Me: “I’m sorry, we don’t have Salem Light 100s. We have Salem Lights and Salem 100s.”

Customer: “Yes, I want Salem Light 100s.”

I look at the customer behind her, I don’t know why, maybe I was hoping she knew her, or maybe she would join me in my misery. Sadly, the customer looked just as confused as I was. I pick up a pack of Salem Lights and Salem 100s and hold out both to the customer.

Me: “These are Salem Lights. These are Salem 100s. Which one do you want?”

Customer: “I want both! That’s why I said, Salem Light… and 100s.”

Me: “That’s… not how you said it.”

Customer: “I was trying to save time.”

Next Customer: “And look how well that f****** turned out!”
