A guy comes into the liquor store with his eyes rolling around in his head. He holds up a tiny bag of suspect white powder.
Customer: “I’ll trade you some coke for a fifth of [Whiskey].”
Me: “We can’t accept that trade, sir.”
Customer: “Why not?!”
Me: “We don’t have a slot in the cash drawer for cocaine.”
The customer nodded as if this was an agreeable reason and calmly left.
Customer: “Can I get some more checks?”
I start the process of trying to get this taken care of when I realize something.
Me: “Sir, you have several bounced checks.”
Customer: “Yeah, that’s why I need new checks. I need to pay her with one of the new checks I’m gonna get.”
Me: “No, sir, the issue is that you have no money in your account.”
The guy was twenty-one and completely clueless about how checks worked. He thought that as long as you had a checkbook, you could buy anything you wanted.
