of fright and embarrassment.
Ok, not really sucky, more a customer pulling a cruel trick on me.
Some Saturdays I have a 9 year old boy J who's dad works nearby come and hang out and help me in the shop. He loves using the till and is a great little worker (he doesn't do the wine tastings though)
Anyhoo at lunch time in limps one of my regulars Mr G, lovely 'money is not object I only want the best' kind of guy and he wanted the one thing we were out of. I ask him what he has done to himself, ie hurting his leg. To which he throws it up on the low part of the counter and asks if I want him to take it off.
I had no idea he had a prosthetic leg and poor little J looked equally shocked. Mr G thinks it's a great bloody joke and I'm left feeling like a total nob.
Mind you if that's the worst that happens today it's been a bloody good day.
