Po-ta-toes

(I’m working the lunch meat case. I find some of those ready to eat mashed potatoes that are out of date. I pull them to take to the back.)

Customer: Is that what you do?! You’re going to open those and sell them to us?!?!

Me: Um…no. These packages are the only way I’ve sell mashed potatoes; These are out of date. I’m going to…

Customer: That makes it worse!

Me: I’m going to throw them out.

Customer: I don’t believe you. I want to see you throw them out.

Me: Um…okay. I have to scan them out first. I’ll need to go grab a handheld scanner.

Customer: I’ll wait.

(I go get the scanner. She’s still there when I get back. She watches me scan them out and throw them in a trash can.)

Customer: How do I know you’re not going to pull those out as soon as I leave?!
