OK, I work in a bike shop. So I'm ringing up a customer who is buying a helmet, bike shorts, and a pair of sunglasses. I scan the helmet, scan the shorts, then my co-worker reminds me the shorts are on sale, so I stop and change the price. When I scan the sunglasses, I forget that the cursor is still on the bike shorts line item, so with a BEEP! the shorts are deleted and the sunglasses are added. I blink and try to figure out why the item disappeared from the order, when it suddenly occurs to me, and I blurt out, "Oh, sorry. I just removed your shorts..." I freeze, realizing what I've just said. He and my co-worker try to supress their laughter. "So to speak... Umm... I'll need to re-scan them," I say, my eyes bulging and my face reddening as the customer laughs, and politely jokes with me. I shake my head. Why do I always manage to come out with these things??
So I go to put the items into a bag when I realize that he might want to wear the sunglasses out of the store, so I ask him, "Do you want to just wear these?" "Sure," he replies. I notice the tag hanging off the sunglasses and offer, "Here, let me cut your little thing off..." PAUSE
"... so to speak. I can't believe I did it again..." I can only sigh and shake my head at this point.
While I have been known to come out with some pretty good ones, I don't remember coming out with two "infamous quotes" back-to-back like that.
