A few days ago, I was shopping at Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH). I had to buy a couple of fluorescent lights for my kitchen.
As I approached the cash register, I observed that the middle age male cashier was having a conversation with the young guy at the customer service counter.
It went something like this:
Customer Service Guy: Hey, what do you think of my hair?
Cashier: I’m not going to look at your hair!
Customer Service Guy: What?
Cashier: I don’t look at other guys’ hair. I’m not from San Francisco.
Customer Service Guy: Huh?
Cashier: I said I’m not from San Francisco.
This is when I spoke up.
Me: Be careful now. Some of us are.
Cashier: Oh! I didn’t mean…
Me: I know what you meant. Just be careful about that kind of thing. Okay?
Cashier: Uh, I…I was just teasing…
Me: (Smiling) I get it.
Cashier: (Chuckles nervously) Man, don’t get mad. You’re a lot bigger than me.
Me: Yeah, I guess I am.
He fumbled though the check out, trying hard not to look me in the eye.
Cashier: Thanks and have a good day.
Then, he handed me the receipt and held out a pumpkin-shaped candy bowl that was full of Hershey’s Kisses and offered me one.
Me: Thanks. I always enjoy getting kisses from strange men.
Cashier: (Laughs) I guess I deserved that.
Me: Yes. You did.
OMG...that's hysterical...wish I had been there in person!
we know who to call when there's a social cleanup on register three
by gosh!!!
