Customer owns up to farting in a newsagency
It’s true and happened this week. A customer browsing cards apologised for farting to one of our team members who was also in the card department, putting out new stock. While there have been many suspicious odors in the newsagency over the years, no one has owned up. How decent, any funny, is that! The customer was not embarrassed. Card sales slowed for a while.
Every newsagent has their stories of weird experiences with customers. Here are a couple of other true stories from our fifteen years (next month) at Forest Hill Chase – but only read if you are prepared to be shocked.
- About fourteen years ago a mother (in her 70s) and daughter came in an asked if we have magazines showing naked guys. The story was that the mum has been widowed for twenty or so years and wanted a reminder of what it looked like. We were able to satisfy the curiosity. Unfortunately, they were only browsing and not buying.
- Not long after the mum incident, we had to stop a teenage boy (we think around fourteen) from accessing too much personal enjoyment from one of our soft core porn titles in the far corner of the shop on a busy Saturday morning. He, too, left without making a purchase.
Yes, we have had our usual run of kids going to the toilet – 1s, 2s and both – and parents walking away and other stories but it is these three stories which will stick in our minds.
