May it never be...

Within the last month or so we've received some new products that we've began selling. Some of them I'm not too keen on, including Exten-ze. It is a male nutritional enhancement pill.

One of my regular customers came in and noticed it for the first time and started laughing. Then he saw how empty the container was. "Apparently it's a big hit" he said as he continued to laugh.

I know you're not supposed to laugh at your own jokes, but my reply got me thinking. Then that thinking got me laughing.

To the customer I replied, "I just hope they never ask me to suggestive sell the stuff. I'm pretty sure I'll get a black-eye."

I mean think about it, what could you say at a Speedway to sell male enhancement pills?

"Just a jumbo hotdog today sir? Speaking of which..."

While I don't think I'll ever be asked to specifically suggestive sell that product, I'm still praying against it just in case.

I know it's a little sophomoric, but it was a slow night and it was the most interesting thing to happen in the store.

Working almost every night, will post as interesting things happen.
