An elderly woman went to the store to buy three cans of cat food, but before the cashier could ring them up, she stopped her.
“I’m sorry,” the cashier said, “but store policy requires proof that you actually own a cat before we can sell you cat food.”
She explained that some elderly customers had reportedly been buying pet food for themselves, so management insisted on proof that the food was really for a pet.
Without arguing, the woman went home, returned with her cat, and calmly completed her purchase.
The next day, she came back and placed two cans of dog food on the counter.
Once again, the cashier stopped her and asked for proof that she owned a dog.
So the woman went home, brought back her dog, and bought the food without another word.
On the third day, she returned carrying a small box with a hole cut into the lid.
She set it on the counter and said, “Please put your finger inside.”
The cashier looked suspicious.
“No chance , what if there’s a snake in there?”
The woman smiled and replied, “There’s nothing inside that will hurt you, I promise.”
Still uncertain, the cashier slowly placed a finger through the hole.
A second later, she yanked it back and made a face.
“That smells terrible!”
The elderly woman nodded with satisfaction and said:
“Exactly. Now, may I please buy two rolls of toilet paper?”
