This happened about a month after I was hired at my first job.
It was October and on weekends everyone was allowed to dress up for Halloween. I’m kind of a Goth chick and I wear cat ears. So I was happy to be able to wear them at work. A woman came into my line and asked about the cat ears. I explained to her that I wore them all the time and it was just something I thought was unique and fun. She said she liked them and told me she likes cats a lot to. Nothing out of the ordinary and I always enjoy the people who think the ears are cute. After I finished ringing her out she handed me a tract book. Only having been working retail a month I had never had that happen before so while I thought it was kind of weird and threw it away after she left I didn’t think much of it afterwards.
Until she came back a couple of weeks latter and things got freaky. She came into my line and asked why I wasn’t wearing the cat ears. I explained that I could only were them in October because of Halloween. She accepted that and then went on to tell me that one of her cats died the other day. And goes on to explain that she is a very religious woman and wasn’t sure on how to explain this to her kids. Well she tells her children about the cat’s death and the kids decide to go to the grave and pray. After her kids are done praying over the cat’s grave they dug up the grave and the cat was alive! Apparently the kids have been busy and have resurrected many other cats since then. The woman tells me she is very proud of her children and wishes she believed as deeply as they did so she could have freaky powers just like her kids. After she finished she was waiting for me to respond. Luckily a line had built up and I used that as an excuse to get her the hell out of there. Through out the story I was wonder wtf was going on and waiting for the candid camera people to show up.
I have no idea if this woman was making it all up, if she was crazy, or living in Stephen Kings Pet Semetary. If she was making it up she did a great job of keeping a straight face and acting completely sincere about the whole thing.
