For some unknown reason, our store was delivered 75 cases of eggs last week. Each case holds 15 dozen eggs, so 1125 dozen eggs. Store manager (wisely) decides to put them on sale in order to sell them all before their expiration date. He does an "in-store only" special of $0.99 per dozen. Eggs are flying out the door! YAY! 
Today around 4:00, we sold the last of the eggs. Signs had been removed when the last case was put out in the cooler, and the sale notice was removed from the outdoor sign (I forget what it's called, it rotates announcements of what is on sale - marquee?). At 8:45 tonight - a mere FOUR hours and FORTY-FIVE minutes AFTER the last dozen was sold, *obviously high on something, still celebrating New Year's* customer trips, stumbles, and slams her way up to my register.
"I wantz da eggz!!!!! Dem ones for 99 centesss!!!" I explain that we're sold out. "Den I wantz one of dem thunder checks!!!" (Really??? a "thunder check"???) I explain that the 99 cent sale was so that we could get rid of our overstock and now that we have, there will be no rain checks issued. I won't even BEGIN to quote what she said to me next, as she stumbled her way out the door, let's just agree to agree that it was VERY BLUE (X-rated).
And how was your night?
