Going For The Condom Minimum
Bizarre, Grocery Store, Missouri, Pharmacy, USA | Healthy | January 22, 2018
(A woman comes up to our night cashier.)
Customer: “I need assistance at the pharmacy case.”
(The cashier pages me to the pharmacy case, as I’m the only one with the key after the pharmacist leaves. I arrive at the case.)
Me: “What items do you need?”
Customer: *hesitates for a moment* “I need condoms.”
Me: *opens the case* “You’re welcome to pick out any of the boxes that you’d like.”
(She picks up a few different boxes, shakes each one, then sets it back down. Then, she turns to me and asks
Customer: “Do you know which one of these feels the best for guys?”
Me: *more confused than surprised by the question* “I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t help you there.”
Customer: “Do you know which one fits best, then?”
Me: “I can’t help you with that. I’ve never used any of those.”
Customer: *exasperated sigh* “Oh, well. Better safe than sorry.”
(She put the condoms down, grabbed a pregnancy test, and walked away without another word.)
