The Produce Section Is Too Deep To Ford
Customer: *picks up an apple and takes a large bite out of it*
Employee: “Sir, what are you doing?”
Customer: “I’m sampling an apple to make sure it’s not mealy. The last apples I got here were all mealy.”
Employee: “Er…it’s generally not a very good idea to do that…those aren’t washed.”
Customer: *sets the apple back down* “YOU DON’T WASH THEM?! Don’t you know you can spread dysentery?!”
Employee: “They’re washed before they come in here, but we can’t wash them on the shelf. And sir, you have to pay for that.”
Customer: “F*** that! I’m not paying for something that’ll give me dysentery!”
Employee: “We can’t sell an apple that has a HUGE BITE taken out of it!”
Customer: *stomps off*
Customer #2: *observing nearby “Someone should tell him, ‘You have died of dysentery.’”
