Customer: [bursting dramatically into the store] “MY LOVE. I need that shirt.”
Me: “Okay. Which shirt are you interested in?”
Customer: [points at the back wall, where seven or eight different T-shirts are on display]
Me: “Which one?”
Customer: [clutches chest and continues pointing emphatically]
Me: “Which one, please?”
Customer: [sighing desolately and/or death-rattling] “THAT ONE. The one that says ‘Chubby and Hard to Kidnap.'”
Me: “Ah, gotcha. What size?”
Customer: “I’m a FAT BITCH, my love.”
Me: [blank stare]
Customer: [dropping character] “Extra large.”
Me: “That’ll be $27.06.”
Customer: “My love… thank you.” [deep bow]
