What you do with our products is *your* business...

Busy day at the store, sold lots of furniture in between the usual smaller items. As usual, most people were great..

But...

There were these two young women in their early twenties (I carded both of them) buying, among other things, wine and beer. As I was ringing their purchases up, the one who had been on her cell phone since they walked in the store picked up a can of Sapporo beer and exclaimed, in a loud voice

"This would make a great dildo!"

Saturday at Cost Plus means kids. There's Toys'R'Us next door. The line was full of everything from little old German immigrants stocking up on imported foods to families buying deck furniture.

When I quickly asked the moron to please keep her voice down, her only reply was a giggled "Opsie!" When I suggested she apologize to the people behind her she shrugged me off.

I can never drink Sapporo again.

oh dear...

Um...that was tasteless. And you deserve a medal for restraint.

I have never had beer, but reading what happened in your store, I will never want to. Some people are just tacky. She could have whispered it to her friend at the very least, or preferably, waited until they were home. Sheesh.

Doug, I could (but won't) give a *long* list of products to avoid if that's your criteria... :-)
