Careful, they might LEEK out of the bag! Haha!

[bean]

We have a fairly new bagger - he's a great guy, busts his ass constantly, and I don't think I've ever seen him goof off. He's also pretty damn smart (well for a high schooler anyway... I kid I kid). And he's usually good for a laugh or two.

But sometimes he'll crack a joke that just makes your brain hurt.

He picked up a bunch of green onions a couple of weeks ago and told the customer "I hope these don't LEEK out of the bag! Hah! Get it?"

Cue the customer and I just staring at him like he'd just grown another arm... him saying "What?" and me telling him "Dude, those are green onions". And him blushing. He recovered and said "Hey I get an A for effort though right?". Sure Ben, sure.

Later on, the next time I got leeks through my line, I held up the bag and said "HEY BEN, THESE ARE LEEKS!" and he gave me a thumbs up.

He tried the same joke again a few days ago, except my customer didn't speak any English - I had to point at the total on the screen and pretty much hold his hand to use the card reader (god I'm so happy they put them on rotating bases). "Sir, be careful that these don't LEEK out of the bag! Hah!", cue the poor customer staring at him with a bewildered look on his face, and Ben blushing again.

Poor guy. He really tries, but some of the jokes are corny as hell.

Trust me, Bean. You'd MUCH rather have corny jokes as a bagger's worst trait as opposed to laziness and all around suckage. But you already knew that.

It sounds like he enjoys his job. Hopefully it stays that way.

I think he sounds cute

Wait bad jokes are his worst quality so far. Sounds like a keeper!

[bean]

Yeah he's definitely a keeper, he's well liked and rolls with the punches damn well. Real mature for his age too.

... but the leeks comment made my brain just stop and go ".... wait did he just say that? REBOOT"
