Spotting

Trying to decide which grocery store line would be the quickest, I chose the left most lane since it had the fewest number of items in the grocery carts and the fewest number of people. The line moved quickly until the person in front of me. Then the cashier picked up his phone and paged the manager. She arrived promptly and just stood behind the cashier. As far as I could tell, she came for no reason.

Then I walk up to the cashier.

"Do you work at comedy sportz?"
"Yes"
to the manager: "Dude. I told you."
manager: "You were totally right."
[beeps as he scanned my items]
"Remember when you guys kept carrying [imaginary] VCRs from the back room?"
"Yes" (actually meaning "no")
"I'm still laughing about that today! Ah ha ha ha! And that scene about Cheers?"
"Yah" (actually meaning "yes")
"That was totally my suggestion. They were all 'What's your favorite Christmas gift' and I was all 'Cheers Season Two'!"

I only wonder if he's a Sybil for some other blog...
