GROCERY STORE, HEALTH & BODY, PETS & ANIMALS, STUPID | RIGHT | AUGUST 4, 2009
Customer: “I need to get a new box of this…” *hands me a box of birdseed*
Me: “Sure, was there a problem with it?”
Customer: “Yeah, it was messy. I had to keep picking through sticks to get to the good stuff.”
Me: “Wait, were you eating this? ”
Customer: “Uh-huh, just now, in my car. It’s good, but I had to keep picking through the sticks.”
Me: “Ma’am, this is actually birdseed. ”
Customer: “Oh, is it? Well, it’s pretty good. It just has a lot of sticks in it.”
Me: “Um, ma’am, I’m a little worried that this might be dangerous for consumption by humans, so if you’ll hang on a minute, let me call someone.”
(I call Poison Control and they tell me she will be fine. The only problem is that the birdseed would have a high-fat content. I relay this to the customer.)
Customer: “Oh. Well, if it’s high in calories, I don’t want it!”
