You’re One Of Today’s Ten Thousand
Customer: “You got any books about the human body, but for kids? My youngest is going through a ‘doctor’ phase.”
Me: “Yeah, we do! Follow me!”
I show the customer some age-appropriate biology books. One colorful example he picks up straight away is all about ‘amazing facts’ about the human body.
Me: “That’s a popular range. Your kid will be quoting amazing facts all day!”
He turns to a random page and reads one out loud.
Customer: “Did you know that your brain actively deletes things that are constantly in your field of vision so you don’t stay distracted? Hmm, that seems a bit fishy.”
Me: “Oh, I heard about that one. Like how you’re always seeing parts of your face, but your brain blocks it.”
Customer: “Yeah, like you can see your own face.”
Me: “Well, just your nose, I think.”
Customer: “Your nose is on your face, dumb-a**. How can you see it?”
Me: “Uh… close one eye, and then look to the side.”
Customer: “Whatev—” *He does this anyway.* “…holy s***!”
He got the book.
