(I am working the concessions counter for the evening. It’s been a hectic shift when two customers in their 20s approach me.)
Me: “How can I help today?”
Male Customer: “Hey, yeah, can we get a large popcorn and a small popcorn? And uh, can you do us a favour? This is going to sound really weird…”
Me: “Go for it!”
Male Customer: “Well, uh. My friend and I have been playing jokes on each other for a while, and I was wondering if you could help out?”
Me: “Uh… yeah, sure.”
Male Customer: “Great! Could you uh, put this in the small popcorn and cover it with the popcorn so my friend cant see it?”
(The female customer pulls out a rather large adult toy from her handbag and hands it to me as discreetly as possible – at this point I couldn’t help but laugh or deal with the customer by myself.)
Me: “Hey, uh, [Coworker], do you think this will fit in a small popcorn bag?”
(My coworker walks over looking mortified.)
Coworker: “If you want to successfully hide that, I would really suggest a large popcorn.”
Male Customer: “Okay! Change the small to a large please!”
(I took the object behind the counter so no one could see and filled up the bag as requested and processed their order.)
Woman Customer: “I’m really sorry. They’ve been doing this for a while now.”
Me: *still laughing at this point* “No, no, it’s okay. This is probably the best thing to happen whilst working here. I hope it turns out all right!”
(After they left my coworker and I had to take a moment to stop laughing and then we had to tell other coworkers and supervisors about it. To this day, I still don’t know if it was against policy or if a manager saw, but those two customers made that shift so much better!)
