Customer: “Do you sell single-use packets of lube?”
Me: “We don’t, but I do have free samples, if you’d like some.”
Customer: “I only need one.”
Me: “Okay. Well, here you go.” [I hand him a packet.]
Customer: “Thanks! It hurts.”
Me: “It… hurts?”
Customer: “Yeah. I bought a toy at this other shop…”
Me: “Oh.”
[beat]
Me: “Oh.”
Customer: “Yeah. They didn’t have any lube, but I went ahead and… listen, could I use your dressing room?”
He came out a couple of minutes later all, “Whew. Much better!” And then he smiled at me and left.
I tried to smile back, but, y’know. It hurts.
