Heh. If I’d been that clerk, I would have wondered if you were a serial killer. Although I suppose it would take an awful long time to dismember your victims with razor blades.
You think that’s bad? Don’t ever tell the sound guy you’ll pick up stuff for him while you’re at the store.
He’ll ask you to pick up a case of 9v batteries and as many unlubricated condoms as you can get you’re hands on.
Try explaining that the 65 year old grandmother manning the register.
OK, someone had to ask: what are the unlubricated condoms for? I assume they are cut up and used as rubber sheeting or something… but why?
What the fuck business of the clerk was it to ask anything? He should have been reprimanded for that, you should have complained. I would have also added that if he ever asks me that again, I’ll bust him in his fucking jaw.
Semi-WAG, but I think they’re used for water-proofing microphones.
I was at Tower Records last Saturday night, and I bought two comic book graphic novels, the extended version of The Two Towers, a the latest issue of Hustler. At the checkout, it was commented that the first three purchases explained the necessity of the fourth.
I’d have been insulted if it hadn’t been me making the comment.
Close enough. more sweat-proofing than waterproofing, but you get the idea.
WE: What the fuck business of the clerk was it to ask anything?
Hear hear. I thought it was standard policy for cashiers in all stores that sell any sex-related items to keep their faces straight and their mouths shut when such items are brought for checkout, no matter what bizarro combinations of other goods the customer happens to be buying.
If that’s not standard policy at the OP’s Walgreens, sounds like it ought to be. If the customer really wants to be kidded about buying condoms, let him/her bring it up. (Bring up the subject, I mean. Oh dear. Never mind.)
