In through the out door...

[Ree]

I was standing at one of the cashes the other day buying coffee for break.
I looked up and there was a lady standing with an armload of stuff.
She wasn't actually standing in line, and she looked like she wanted to ask a question.

The cashier and I both asked if we could help her.

She said, "I came in through the other way and I can't get to the carts."
She had used the garden center entrance, and the shopping carts are in a foyer by the "IN" door at the main entrance.

I pointed to where the carts are kept.

She said, "Yes, I know where they are, but the door won't let me out to get to them."
We have automatic doors and she couldn't figure out how to get the "IN" door open to reach the carts.

I offered to get her a cart, and just smiled to myself as I walked to the "OUT" door, grabbed a cart from the rack and came back through the "IN" door.

Maybe she didnt want to walk out because she had an armload of stuff, and her brain blurped so she didn't think to set it down? I know it's unlikely but...

[Ree]

Nope.
She said, "The door won't let me open it to get a cart," so she obviously tried.

Not to mention, there's a service counter right by the door where she could have set her stuff, as well a stack of hand held baskets by the same counter.

I wasn't accusing her of being sucky. Just a brain burp.

Looks like you had a brain burp too this was posted in Brain Burps because it seems like the customer had a brain fart. Not sucky or anything, just funny.

When I read the title to this I had to wonder if the person was wearing a raspberry beret... you know, the kind you'd find in a second-hand store.

:ducks:

Thanks a lot. I'm never going to get this song out of my head.
