You Make Me Feel Blue

(A customer approaches with patchy blue lips.)

Customer: “I’d like to return this lipstick, please; it makes me look like a freak.”

Me: “You know this isn’t lipstick, right?”

Customer: “What?”

Me: “You would put this over lipstick to give it an iridescent effect which is why it’s called ‘mermaid.’ You could also put this over eye shadow or even highlighter. That’s why it’s a powder so you can dab it on where you want.”

Customer: “Whatever. I still want to return it.”

(After she leaves.)

Coworker: “She knowingly put on a blue sparkly powder onto her lips and questioned why it made her look like that. Honestly, I don’t know what she thought would happen. I mean, there are different colors like red and gold but she still went for the blue.”

Me: “People are weird.”
