Customer: “Pardon, do you have any of the regular fish oil pills?”
Me: “No, I don’t have those. But we’ve got the odorless pills here.”
Customer: “Thanks but, I really just wanted the regular ones.”
Me: “Oh, but these are great. They’ve got no odor at all. If you take these, you won’t smell like fish!”
Customer: “You mean I smell of fish?! Oh my God! I didn’t know! Nobody told me! I don’t believe I smell of fish!”
Me: “Uh, that’s not what I meant.”
Customer: “I didn’t know I smell of fish! Oh, this is awful!”
(The customer opens his phone, dialing.)
Customer, on phone: “Mom? It’s me. Why didn’t you tell me I smell of fish? Of course I do! The guy at the store just said I need to take the odorless pills because I smell of fish!”
Me: *head in hands* “No, wait!”
Customer: “I can’t believe even you didn’t tell me! I feel awful now! How long until it goes away?”
