Real people are so weird


I had a strange conversation with a customer today who insisted on telling me that supermarket  garages make her feel sexy. She said “These places have a unique aroma and I have to tell you it REALLY turns me on.”
At first I got a little surge of excitement thinking that she might have been attracted to me and this was her way of letting me know without directly approaching me, but then it became clear that she was just insane. “It’s that strange combination of cleaning fluids, petrol and pastries that just seems to set me racing,” she said.
For some reason - and I will spend a lot of time tonight trying to work out what that reason was so I can avoid it cropping up again in the future - I said “Well maybe you should think about working here. We’ll be needing staff for the night shift soon.”
So she went off with a huge smile and an application form, and I made a mental note of her name so I can warn Head Office not to employ her under any, ANY circumstances.
