Dumbest question of the day!

I went with Sheri this afternoon to Bed, Bath, & Beyond. She wanted to use her final gift certificate from her wedding. So, after combing the store and filling up her little shopping basket with several items we approached the counter to checkout. As the cashier began to scan the items he looked up at Sheri and asked, "Would you like these items put in a bag?"

I seriously had to turn around so that he wouldn't see the pure shock on my face! Seriously? Did he just ask if she wanted all 15-20 items put in a bag? Was he implying that she might want to just load them in her arms and juggle them carefully out to her car? Silly, silly boy!

At least it made me laugh, thinking of Sheri (with all of her dish towels, rug, soap dish, papertowel holder, etc.) carrying everything (individually if necessary) out to her car -- all because she was asked, "Would you like these items put in a bag?"

Thanks for inviting me to BB&B today, Sheri! Good times.

Seriously though, I wasn't as bugged at that question as much as I was that he kept trying to hand me the huge bag with all my items in it about 5 times while I was still trying to pay, sign the credit card slip and put the receipt in the bag (He wanted me to carry that out separately too.) Such a fun lunch break for us.

Maybe he thought she could cram it all in her purse/bag you know like Mary Poppins.
I would have started laughing! Glad to see you have something to blog about!

Sounds like you were wishing for a self-check registar, if only they had one at Bed Bath Beyond...
