Do You Have Chicken

now this one comes from a friend of mine they were working the late shift at this 24-hour Superstore when the phone rings as they put it there is a man with an Indian accent on the other one on the other end and he asks "do you sell chicken" my friend  was amazed as would anyone be this was Superstore they sold all kinds of chicken so they ask "Yes is there a specific kind you're looking for" but this guy just says "how much is chicken"at this they just didn't know what to say so they ask the question again and the man answers in frustrated tone "how much is chicken"  so my friend just makes up a price "$8.95" they say and the guy responds with "do you deliver" my friend answers with "no" but the guy I guess doesn't hear them and again says "do you deliver"at this point my friend just could not take it anymore and just hung up but it wasn't over for the next hour the guy would call the store my friend would answer and complain that they hung up my friend would just say oh we just got disconnected the phones are old and then he'd ask "do you deliver" after the first few times when when they answer the phone and I heard it was the guy that automatically hang up and this is why my friend says they hate answering the phone at work

The failed flirter

so this happened when I first started on the registers I was called up to check well I was cleaning the bathrooms so when I get up there there's this guy who looks like he just got off from work I say hi to him and ask him how his day was there was an awkward pause or he just kind of stared at me I asked him if he was alright and he said " yeah just a long day"  I nodded  as I started checking out his groceries  there was a pause again then he randomly tells me that I'm pretty I told him thank you and go back to running the order seems like he was trying to flirt with me after that but he didn't know how so when I was done  bringing up the order I asked him for his rewards card he told me he didn't have one but wanted one I gave him the card and told them either fill out this little sheet of paper or sign up online most the time customers will take it and fill it out online or take it home and fill out the paper this guy asks for my pen so he can fill it out right there I nod and give him my pen he keeps talking telling me all about his life and how and how he just moved I told him that yeah I'm moving stinks and that I just moved myself so I know how it feels he looks up from the paper he's filling out and asks me where are you where do you live I give him a generalized area but not my actual address let me get so excited but doesn't say anything kind of makes a noise after he's done filling it out I told him the price as he goes to hand it back to me he grabs my hand and says " I really hope to see you again"  he pays and grab the stuff and goes to leave but he doesn't just leave he looked back every few steps just too look at me  when he's finally out of sight I turned the  cashier behind me and say " I'm done nope"  then I storm off back to the bathroom to go clean it  I'm glad to this day I have not seen him

The Cyst

so this story happened a while back I was at the register and 2 middle-aged men come through all they're buying is pop and razor blades so I say hi like normal and ask them how their night was and the one guy goes "it really sucks I got this cyst that's what the razors are for want to see it" at this point I just kind of stared at him and shook my head "no thank you sir"  his friend goes "come on you gotta see it"  there is a slight pause staring at one of the signs hanging from the ceiling when the other guys go " yeah come on  it's not on my dick"  I just stood there like a deer in headlights I don't care if it was on his arm let alone his dick I don't want to see it so after a moment of silence I told them their price and they pay then leave why this guy wanted me to see his cyst I have no idea what I can say though it was very awkward and  I was glad when they left
