I work with really cool people.
My customers suck.

Work conversation not included in the aforementioned slew:

Woman: "Where are your fresh turkeys?"
Me: "umm...right there? (point to where she's standing...)"
Woman: "No. These have been frozen. I want fresh."
Me: "They're shipped frozen. Most poultry is. You don't want it going even slightly out of temp. You know, bacteria and all..."
Woman: "You have turkeys that weren't frozen last year."
Me: "They had just thawed more thoroughly."
Woman: "No. They were fresh."
Me: "umm...you should ask someone who works in the meat department. I just stock groceries."
(walk away, pretending I'm a moron)

(walk up to Brian)
Me: "Damn, I just had a crazy woman who wanted me to go out back and kill and pluck a turkey for her."
Brian: "What?!?"
Me: "I don't know. The turkeys that had been shipped weren't good enough for her. She wanted a fresh one."
Brian: "You know what would be cool?"
Me: "What?"
Brian: "If we got one of those lobster tanks and put turkeys in it. And then the turkeys would be like, '(gobblebubblegobble)'"
Me: (hits floor laughing) "Dude, that was fantastic."

Oh yes, the people I work with are nuts...and do wicked good impressions of underwater turkeys.
