I work as a bagger in one of the higher end grocery stores in my area. I’m fairly new and this place is real big on customer service. Unloading the carts, bagging, taking groceries to their car, the whole nine yards. Tonight it was slow and pretty chill.
This guy comes rolling up with his young son “driving” one of those horrid kid carts. You know the large monstrosities that you can’t get around. I think, instead of him awkwardly fighting with it, I’ll offer to unloaded for him. Good customer service move right? He nonchalantly says sure. I look and he’s got two boxes of condoms and a thing of lube. Nothing else.
Well that got a bit awkward. Like how am I suppose to make small talk with this guy whose clearly there with a purpose. I’m feeling a bit tongue tied so, not thinking, I just default to what I’ve been saying all day long. I hear myself say “So do you have any big plans for the weekend?”.
Now I’m really uncomfortable. This guy turns and looks at me sorta serious like for a moment. Then he gets this big ole shit eating grin on his face, leans to a bit on the cart and says “why yes, yes I do now that you mention it.”
My coworker running the register is now sprawled out laughing hysterically, he’s laughing hysterically and then the damn toddler starts laughing at me too! I just have to stand there in all my awkwardness.
TL;DR asked a customer buying only condoms if he had big plans for the weekend.
