I very recently started working behind the pharmacy counter in my store. It's kinda nerve wracking because I don't have my tech license approved yet, so I can't really do anything with the computer systems or counting the pills yet. All I can really do is put away stock, help customers (when they actually show up) and file things. A six hour shift goes by very slowly when you can't actually help fill the 60+ prescriptions that are waiting.
Anyway. I was ringing through a gentleman when he looks at me for a few moments and went, "You're new here, yes?"
"Um... Yes, sir... This is my first week out of training..."
"And I bet you're good at math being back here, right?"
"I guess you could say I am... I like to think that I am," at this point I was more than a bit curious about WTF this guy was getting at.
"Well then maybe you can help me with a little math problem. Alright... You know that 2-in-1 shoe polish? Has one color on one side and another color on the other side?"
"Um... Not really, but I don't really use shoe polish..."
"Well what about that 3-in-1 oil? Comes in a little bottle? Used for sewing machines and the like?"
"I think so. That might be what I use for my machine..."
"Well if 2-in-1 is shoe polish, and 3-in-1 is oil, what's 4 n' 1?"
I think I just stood there for a minute just staring and wonder what in all the fires of hell he could be talking about before shaking my head, "I really don't know, sir."
"You don't? Alright, well come a little closer," he waved me a bit closer before whispering with a wide grin, "4 n' 1 is 5, silly."
It was a terrible joke, but it still made me giggle. Nothing like silly customers to make you feel better
