I just griped about two sucky customers in the last couple days, but I did have one who made me laugh.
This old man comes in with a young couple. They walk around the store, then come up to the counter with a few items. I ring them up, and the old man tells me he wants cigarettes.
The younger man tells me jokingly that I better card him. As a habit, I always ask for a birthdate to enter into the computer. So, I ask the older man for his birthdate.
He tells me, "xx/xx/1999."
I just grin knowingly. The woman slaps him on the arm, "Dad, be nice!"
"How about I put it in as 1959 since 1999 won't work."
He starts laughing, "Hey, you gave me 12 years back!"
I just laugh, "That's okay, the cigarettes will take care of that."
They start laughing. The younger man says, "He got you on that one."
The older man just shakes his head and laughs as he picks up his cigarettes and leaves.
I just had to laugh about it the rest of the day.
