Seen in one of our local charity shops.
Cast:
Me.
Other Customer:nice little old lady waiting with me just to be served before the Day of Judgment
Server Girl: glorified zombie by the looks of it.
At the till.No-one else is around except little old lady and girl both checking items on shelf:
Ask little old lady if she knows who's serving-no.
Ask girl if she knows who's serving.
Lights flicker,wheel starts turning.
SG returns to the counter and sits down on the stool.
OC:I'd just like this book thanks
SG:Oh,ok.Let me put this back *goes to put clothes back on hanger
*time passes*
OC:Hi,I'm waiting to be served here.
SG:Oh,I wondered what I was doing standing here with this in my hand.
*returns with clothes*
OC:Heavy night?
SG:Yeah,I was out all night-all I want to do is sleep.Can't wait till 4 to get off.
OC:Well,that's not long-you can sleep then-have an early night.
SG:Oh no,I'll be out again tonight.
OC:Er,the book...
SG:Oh yes... *checks book.*--well this says £3.99 but that's not one of our labels.
OC:Well,how much is it then?
SG:No idea,because it's not our label.And that's more than we price them at. I'll check...*wanders over to book tower...* No idea,there's other books with those stickers on-they must have forgotten to take them off before they come out-and they're all different prices-this one's £1... I'll charge you that
OC-happy with their bargain finishes and leaves
SG:I'll be with you in a minute *picks up clothes to put on hanger and some other widjitti,puts clothes on hanger and returns*
Me:Hi,just like to pay for this
SG:Hang on,I'll just put this back...*looks bemused*...where did I put it?
Me:You just put it on the hanger-see
SG:Oh yes...it was the widjitti I was going to put up....hang on,it's round here somewhere,then I'll be with you
Me:It's in your hand
SG:Oh yes...*wanders off to shelf,returns with widjitti still in hand*...can't find where it is...
Me:OK,I'm not sure how much this it-this has another sticker on for £2.50 that hasn't been taken off...
SG:No,that's right,£2.50
Me:But it's not one of your stickers
SG:Well,it looks like one of ours,so I'll charge you that.Do you want it in a bag?
Me:No,that's fine thanks,it can go in mine...
SG:*puts in money*...OK there you go...where is it?Did I give it to you?
Me:No,it's sitting on the table..
SG:I can't see it.
Me:In the bag you just put it in...
SG finishes and goes over to the shelf...looking for widjitti she can't find that is still sitting on the stool at the counter...
And exit,wondering if anyone would notice if I beat some sense into her with my tasty ham baguette and then ate the evidence.
