Even though we hear the same lame customer joke over and over again while working in the grocery store, doesn’t mean we don’t have any of our own. I like to mess with our customers sometimes because it makes the day go by a bit faster and to see what type of character they are the next time I see them.
Customer puts her reusable paper bags from our competitors on the conveyor belt for me to bag…
Me: Hey… I didn’t know we have new bags!
Awesome Customer: [She stops loading her groceries and looks up at me] Huh?
Me: This must be our new logo!
Awesome Customer: Uhh…
Me:: That’s interesting, our paper bags never had handles…
Awesome Customer: [Unsure laugh] Haha…
Me: You want any help out with your groceries?
Awesome Customer: Ummm…
Me: I was just joking with you about the bags.
Awesome Customer: Smartass! Yeah, I want a carry out. I want you to do it!
Me: You got it!
We’ve been joking ever since.
Do you have a checker that you always go to, no matter how long the lines are?
