Cashier #1- “What did you do last night after work, didn’t you close?”
Cashier#2- “Yes. I wanted to go home and unwind with a movie, but my husband wanted to spend some time with me, you know how they are. He’s a man. He works at home all day and says he’s lonely, so he expects me to come home and entertain him. I wish he’d go back to work. Things were better then.”
Cashier#1– “I’m sorry.”
Women Customer to Employee stocking shelves-
“Is this a hard job? Working here and seeing so many different things all the time.”
Employee– “No, very easy.”
And I love getting off work at night knowing my dog is at home waiting for me to love on him.
Customer– “That’s sweet. I’d go crazy here. I mean working here.”
Two men customers- “Hey Bill, I haven’t seen you in forever. Whatcha been up too my man?”
“Well, I just turned fifty so started lifting again. I spend a lot of time outside too. Life is good. How about you, did you ever quit taking that acid?”
“I did! I did! Treatment you know.”
“Have you caught covid yet?”
“Yes. You?”
“Yep! Took a tincture and I was better by the weekend. You?”
“Yes sir! I took a few shots of whiskey and rested. Got better too!”
“You know if your gut is F***ed up, then this virus kills ya. That’s what I’ve seen first hand. Only the strong service.”
“Truth right there. Later man.”
Two other men-
“Still sellin on eBay?”
“Yes. Old models. This is my sixth Goodwill today.”
“Oh. My second. I need to find a new niche’, dvds have been real slow. Everyone has rocu and Netflix. Not to mention Amazon prime.”
“I hear ya there. How’s your momma?”
“She’s doing better. Hangin in there. Stopped by this afternoon and brought her some groceries. I’ll tell her you said hello.”
Customer to me- “Excuse me ma’am?”
Me- “yes?”
Customer- “Would you like this tea pot? It’s very pretty and I hate to put it back. I just don’t need all of these things here.” (Motioning down to her cart full of random tchotchkes)
Me- “No thank you.”
Customer– “Are you sure, it t do use by look like you found many treasures yourself. Do you want some help finding things?”
Oh my gosh! It’s the same lady who was trying to clothe the 20-something year old kid from the other thrift store last week!
Me- “I’m a reseller, not a collector.”
Customer-“Well, if you change your mind.”
Me-“That’s a lot of glassware you have there. Do you have room to display it all at home?”
Customer– “I do have a lot here. Everything is so darn pretty.”
Me- “So you display it all? I wouldn’t have the room to enjoy it.”
Customer– “Not really. Okay dear. Take care.”
