Wishing Mew A Very Mewry Christmas
It is just before Christmas. A man comes in and grabs the first “Happy Holidays to my wife” card he sees. He then spends the next few minutes looking around the shelves at the rest of the Christmas cards, looking increasingly frustrated.
Me: “Can I offer you any help?”
Customer: “Yeah, I’m trying to find a Christmas card for my cat.”
Not what I was expecting.
Me: “I see. Well, I can imagine that could be difficult because—”
Customer: “—there are just so many options, I know!”
He settles on a Christmas card that has a painting of a wintry scene with a pond.
Customer: “I’ll take this one.”
Me: *Not knowing what else to say* “Good choice!”
Customer: “Can I bring it back if she doesn’t like it?”
Me: “As long as it’s not written on, you’ll be fine.”
He nodded and made the purchases, and to this day, I don’t know if he was talking about his wife or his cat.
