Zombies Need Friends Too
(I’m ringing up a mother and her daughter, about 8 years old, at the register. My computer is messing up, so sometimes when I scan an item, it comes up as a different item with the wrong price.)
Me: “I’m sorry about this. My computer seems to be acting up.”
Girl: “Maybe it’s broken!”
Me: “Yeah, that’s probably true.”
Girl: *excitedly* “Or…maybe zombies got it!”
Me: *plays along* “Oh yeah, that’s a good possibility too!”
Girl: “Yeah, zombies are people that used to be dead, and then they came back to life!”
Me: “Wow, that sounds pretty creepy!”
(The girl chatters on about zombies and other stuff while I finish cashing her mother out for their purchases.)
Me: *hands them their bags* “Alright, you have a good day, and look out for zombies!”
Girl: “Oh, don’t worry! That only happens in nightmares. Just make sure you dream about good zombies!”
Me: “Got it, I’ll make sure I do!”
