Whackjob customer story [View all]

[geardaddy]

I work on Saturdays at a deli for a little extra cash to supplement my income from my 9-5 job during the week. Every Saturday, this one guy comes in for his sandwich, same thing each time, extra onions and tomatoes. He has always been very nice.

So, I ring him up and he asks for a plastic cup for water, which I give him. He then says, "Is it clean?" to which I reply, "Yes, these cups are all clean."

"Because, you know, Ebola," he says.

"But you have to come into contact with bodily fluids," I say

"Oh no no no! That's what they're telling you on the TV, but they don't want us to know the truth! "Humanitarian" Bill Gates owns the patent on Ebola!"

I just smile and nod as he continues to delve deeper into insanity and then moves on to how Christians are the only really important people in the world.

Had I not been working and encountered this guy in a non-business environment I would have walked away.
