I was filling a prescription in the back of the pharmacy when an older gentleman walked in. T greeted him at the counter with a smile; this is the conversation that followed.
T- “Yes, we have that ready for you.”
Customer- “I thought you guys would call me when it’s ready?”
“Let me pull up your information and see if we have your correct phone number.”
“Sure, sound’s good.”
“Is your phone number 867-5309?”
I jerked my head around so fast, I almost gave myself whiplash. I couldn’t believe she had actually said that with a straight face. I was already signing the lyrics. It then dawned on me she didn’t catch it. I leaned back further to see if this guy would roast her or at least laugh.
“No, that’s not my number at all. That's not even close. I don’t know where you got that one.”
Seriously? He didn’t have a clue either.
“Oh okay, I’ll erase this and put your new one in.”
She added the new number, rang him up, and he left. The whole thing had gone completely over their heads, I was the only one that had caught it. I was standing there with my arms folded when she walked back into the back.
T- “What?”
Me- “Really?”
“What!”
“You have no idea what just happened do you?”
“No, what?”
I repeated the number.
“What about it?”
“Sing it.”
“What, the number?”
“Yes.”
She looked at me like I was crazy so I began to sing.
“867—”
"Oh!"
I shook my head as it all came together for her, she began laughing hysterically.
“How are you still alive?” I asked walking back to my station.
Props to whoever put that phone number in.
