Grocery Custy Nearly Loses Secret Brownie Ingredient

Hi there - you can call me Banja. 

I just started reading this site, though I've pretty much torn through it because of how fun it is to read.  Makes me feel better to remember that I'm not alone in retail hell.

Since this is my first submission, I'll keep it short.  This was just a weirdness that happened at the grocery store I work at.

One night, these teenagers came in.  It was a fairly slow night; nothing too interesting. These guys came up with a single box of brownie mix that they wanted to buy. They paid and headed for the door, with no major incident.

All of a sudden, I hear my coworker say, "Oh, hey, you dropped something there, buddy..."  

I turn to look and one of the guys is saying, "Oh, thank you SO MUCH!" as he scoops this GIANT ASS bag of weed back into his pocket.

Nothing too unusual I suppose.  

Though if they only bought one box of brownie mix, with that size bag of weed...damn those would be some potent brownies.

Send those customers to my house. I could use some pot brownies.

Oh well. I'm still alive and well and I have a roof over my head, so I can't complain too much. Life's a bitch and then you marry one.

At least they didn't try to steal it. That's what counts. I know too many people in the town I live in would steal the brownie mix just for shits and grins, then make pot brownies.

Madrias, that is very true. At least they were honest!

I always thought you needed to make pot butter and use that to make the brownies for it to be effective...

@Kattybitch -- Correct! (Don't ask how I know this.)

I work at a store that sells overstock housewares and decorating stuff, including those boxes that look like books but are hollow inside. I had a guy, totally clean-cut, management type office worker, late 30s, come to my counter with a few things, including one of these boxes. We were talking, just small talk, I made a joke that you never know what people are going to do with these boxes, and it makes me think of that old SNL skit with Rob Schnyder the antique dealer who promotes everything as "or you can keep your weed in it!" Man kinda smiles, glances around quickly and says, "Actually that's the plan!"

Alrighty then!
