Funny: Too bad the can didn’t hit him in the face!

Generally when someone is trying to get a refund on an item it’s because they are a shady character and are trying to swap something expired with a new product in the store or return an item that they apparently stole at some point from either our gas station or another… that’s a whole other story. But the kid who came into the store the other day takes the cake for stupid.

A kid comes in and buys 3 Arizona ice teas. This is fairly uninteresting. The kid goes outside and walks to the side of the building where his buddy must have parked their car. I’m watching out the window when the kid I just sold the tea to goes running backwards like he is going to catch a football but instead of a football I see a can of tea make a perfect spiral in the direction of the kid running. Too bad the kid fumbled the can causing it to land on the ground and roll. I laugh to myself and think what an idiot why would you let your friend throw a 2 lb can at you.

(A few minutes go by and I help another customer)

The kid who missed catching the can walks in holding the top of the can and asks me, “Can I get a new can of tea this one seems to be leaking.”

As much as I would have liked to have just said no the total smart ass that I am had to reply with, “Your can wasn’t leaking when you bought it and I wouldn’t advise you to base your life goals on getting into the NFL.”

Kid: “Damn you saw that?”

Me: “This place is incredibly dull. Of course I watched you completely screw up catching the can. Oh by the way tell whoever threw the can with a perfect spiral that I think they would make a damn good newspaper delivery guy.”

Kid: “So… I can’t get another can.”

Me: “Um… no… duh!”

Kid: “Fine and you suck!” (As he walks out the door)

As stated before… what an idiot!
