today's department store follies
The funniest thing today (8-4, people! 8 hours of cashiering!) was a mom whose little toddler son wriggled out of his seat in the strollercart and started running while I rang up their shoes.
He kept running. She started chasing him, and she started yelling his name after about 50 feet.
They ran between racks, and I saw them go around the corner. Well, I saw her head bobbing behind the first row of racks. I lost sight of her bobblehead after about 100 feet of running.
I waited about a minute. Then I voided her purchase, because she hadn't paid.
After another minute, she came back with him in her arms. "You're a bad boy, embarrassed me!" she exclaimed. (And I guess that's what the boy learned, that it takes a sprint around the store to embarrass mama. It's not the disobedience that was bad. It was embarrassing mama. Sigh.)
I rang her up again. She gave me her charge card, and said, panting, "I finally caught him in the towel display."
I REALLY had to bite back the giggles, because that's halfway around the store. He led her quite a chase...nearly a whole lap!

Oh, and bobbo, I told a Polish cutomer (with a name just about like CZWRYXBCZA) your joke. She laughed.
