Weird request

[Sandy]

Hey everyone, this isn't that bad but I thought I'd throw it in. It was near Christmas a few years ago, and these two ladies came up to my register and started unloading their trolley. So I start scanning away when one asks,"Do you have any Christmas decorations for kegs?"
"Kegs?" I ask, unable to believe the obscurity of her request.
She says,"Yeah", then I tell her I'll have to check. She gives her friend this look as if to say,"What an idiot".

I pulled a face at her that I think her friend saw.

I mean, why the heck would we have decorations for kegs? Like, specifically for kegs? That's like asking if we have Christmas decorations for a gear stick in a car ...

By the way, no, we didn't have Christmas decorations for kegs.

"That dress you're wearing should do nicely."

Ah, the things we wish we could say...

[Becks]

How about tinsel? A small string of lights? Those silly things you can put on windows? :shrugs:

[Phone Jockey]

"That dress you're wearing should do nicely."

OMG, that would be F-ing hilarious! Say that next time, Sandy. Cuz you know they'll come back.

Slightly but...

Does anyone remember the Guiness commercials that came out for St. Patrick's Day this year (or maybe it was last year)? They had a keg all decorated...even my mom thought it was hilarious.

[Tanasi]

The quick retort should have been: "Beer, burbon, nail, or horseshoe?"

Yes children nails used to come in kegs as did horseshoes.

Maybe she meant a keg party? Hmmm . . .

I think it's a great idea, especially if it's marketed towards college students.

That's a new one: keg decorations.

Hmmm . . . maybe you should have told her to come back after Labor Day when the Christmas decorations will be out and she can use wrapping paper and ribbon to decorate her keg with.

I don't know that I'd recommend the lights though, as they have a tendency to go out when immersed in anything liquid. I don't know how they'd do if they were peed on, but I don't think I'd want to know.

[Think Blue]

keg decorations? you should feel dumb because you didnt know if your store had any

About five years ago I was in an extremely 70's faux elegant restuarant (I liked it) festooned with wine-coloured velvet chairs with chrome frames, smoked mirrored tiles on the ceiling, fake cherry blossom trees, and--in the lounge--a fireplace in a fountain (gas jets right at the water's surface). The SC stories I bet that place could tell; if only old-school Engelbert was being piped in...
