OK, seems like one of GK's mates came in to my shop yesterday.
I was quite busy, was serving one lady at the counter, another was behind her waiting, and another was off in the fish room waiting for help.
This bloke comes in, holding a twenty, and stands at the counter (even though I'm obviously busy).
Me:
SC: Chubby, long curly hair and a sweatervest (just one)
BL: Bird lady, who was paying for a budgie when this went down.
Me: (to BL) OK, that comes to $25
SC: What's that, a budgie?
BL: Yep
SC: hehe.. (he's still standing right in her way holding the $20, mind you)
I sort of ignore the dude and complete BL's transaction, when he suddenly pipes up;
SC: Would anybody like to buy a book? *holds up books he's selling*
Me:.......
SC: It's about the Illuminati, and how they as a secret society are infiltrating governments the world over and gaining power secretly and they are slowly maneuvering Budgie Schwarzenegger... Oh sorry, I mean Governor Schwarzenegger into the white house
Me:
Nah mate, I'm not interested, sorry....
SC: Can I have 2 $10 notes? *shoves his twenty at me*
Me: Uh-huh *hands them to him* (I know I should have said no, but I was hoping he'd piss off if i did it)
I then sort of cut him off to finish serving my customers, he went outside and started yapping to them as they were leaving, I was about to go out and tell him not to stand outside my shop like that, when he came back in...
SC: *plonks one of his crazy-books on the counter* You were busy a minute ago, and I didn't want you to miss out.. Schwarzenegger's father was a Nazi commander in WWII, and the Illuminati have been slowly taking power in this way in the US government and their aim is to control the wo-
Me: Look man, I'm not interested. Sorry.
SC: You're not?
Me: No. I'm not going to buy the book.
SC: What animals do you have here?
Me:
Uh, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, fish....
SC: What was the other one?
Me: Uh... the other what?
SC: Rabbits and what?
Me: Uh.. guinea pigs?
SC: Schwarzenegger is a guinea pig.
Me: Right. Seeya. *walks off to do something else*
Thankfully the guy left, and I was left with a great big WHATTHEFUCKJUSTHAPPENED look on my face!
Guess there really are crazies out there... it's hard to remember when reading these stories on CS that they are actual real stories, and the crazies WILL COME TO YOUR STORE ONE DAY
It was a really weird day overall, one of those days where you're sure you're dreaming... I had just found a Frank Zappa clock in the Vinnies next door for $2, when I had spent the entire night before listening to Zappa songs, then dreamed about clocks. So I already felt like the day was strange before he even got here.
