Real Conversations

Every so often I overhear or take part in a conversation that doesn’t quite make sense to me. Maybe it’s just me. Just to be sure I felt I should share the conversation with you and maybe you could chime in on whether this was weird or not.

The following conversation took place in a Chipotle.

Cashier: (Receives my burrito bowl from the other employee) Anything else?

Me: Yeah, I’ll just have a regular drink.

Cashier: (Stares at me blankly)

Me: (Staring back blankly while pulling out my debit card to pay)

Cashier: What’s a regular....oh! Here (hands me a cup). (Points index finger to his temple) I didn’t... I mean I didn’t know what you meant by a regular drink. That’s what you meant hehe. That’ll be $8.24 hehe.

Me: Ok. (Hands debit card)

Cashier: (Looking slightly up and staring over me while handing me my card back) I just bought a lottery ticket. Actually, 3.

Me: (Looking at him blankly, confused)...was it a scratch-off?

Cashier: Nah, mega millions. (Stares at me blankly for a moment)... I’ll prolly win.

Me: (Walking away with my tray) ...I hope so.
