Wishing A Happy New Receipt
(It’s New Year’s Eve, and two friends and I are last minute shopping before dinner. I’ve paid for my stuff, and am bagging my stuff.)
Cashier: “Would you like the receipt?”
(At this point, all I am thinking about is wishing the cashier a Happy New Year, so I’m not paying as much attention to what she said. Somehow, I heard her say “Happy New Year” instead.)
Me: “You, too!”
Cashier: “Uhh, excuse me?”
Me: “Happy New Year to you, too.”
Cashier: “Yeah, I was wondering if you wanted the receipt.”
Me: *facepalm, bright red from embarrassment* “No, thanks. And a Happy New Year.”
(Needless to say, my friends laughed at me the whole way home. I hope the cashier had a laugh, too!)
