This is from
this site I read daily.
I just had to share it
(A woman and her three year old daughter leave the changing room and approach my counter. She looks to be flustered and in a hurry.)
Me: “Hi there, can I help you?”
Customer: “Just this, please.” *hands me her items*
Me: “That’s £49.96, please.”
(The woman frantically searches her bag for her purse and almost turfs the contents out onto the floor.)
Customer: “I can’t find my purse.”
Me: “It’s okay, take your time. Perhaps you left it in the changing room?”
Customer: “No, I didn’t leave anything in there! Here it is.”
(She hands me her credit card, I complete the transaction and hand her her purchases.)
Me: “Here you go. Thank you for visiting today.”
Customer: *nervous smile* “Thank you.”
(The woman walks away hastily. Just before she gets to the shop door, her daughter speaks up.)
Customer’s daughter: “But mummy, we did leave something in the changing room!”
Customer: *starts walking quicker* “Shhh!”
Customer’s daughter: *triumphantly* “We left my poo in there!”
(The woman grabs the child by the hand and runs out of the shop. My colleague and I run over to the changing room to see for ourselves. Sure enough, in the corner of one of the changing rooms, there is a small pile of poo. We didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.)
