Oh how did I forget this one from today?
(and please don't get offended British CSers--I know that you and the vast majority of your fellow citizens aren't like this)
A British lady, identifiable by her thick accent, bought the display of a 7-foot artificial Christmas tree because we had no more in boxes to sell. We took it outside and she pulled up in a Ford Taurus station wagon.
Of course disassembling the tree so it would fit better wasn't an option. So we got to spend about 10 minutes in the bitter cold, shoving and shoving this tree into her car, while she stands over us and exhorts us to "Jam in it 'ere!" like a demented Mary Poppins.
Finally we managed to fit the tree in the car so that the hatchback could close. As the lady turned to leave, she expressed her gratitude thusly: "That had better not be damaged!"
I told my coworker as we were re-entering the store and she was out of earshot "I hope it is."
