Had a couple of college age kids passing through about 1 a.m. this morning. I think they were on their way to Canada. One kid thought they were already there.
I've found a certain type of customer to be more annoying than others. The biggest reason is that they seem to lack any respect for anyone, and they are also fairly clueless as to what is happening around them. This is of course referring to the white redneck hick. Seriously, get with it.
Anyways, this kid fit the bill perfectly. He's stomping around the store, asking questions and expecting my full attention even if someone is at the counter. As I'm scanning his items he pulls out a $5 to pay for it and says "Do you take American money here in Canada?"
I literally freeze in place. "Here in Canada? I'm pretty sure you're still in Michigan."
He stops. "Oh." At this point it is taking everything I have not to laugh. As his road trip companions come out of the bathroom they all head for the door. As they are leaving I hear him say (and this is direct quote) "What'd you tell me that for, we ain't in no Canada!"
At this point I had to hide myself in the back whilst I laughed aloud. Personally, I would have thought the Mid-Michigan map on the wall would have given it away, if not the speed limit signs still in miles per hour. That's just me though...
