“Could you bag my groceries as heavy as possible?”

I worked as a bagger at a small, family-owned grocery store.

This was while I was still in high school.

One day, a man came through the checkout with a full cart of groceries.

Here’s how their conversation went.

Me: “Paper or plastic?”

Customer: “I’d like double bagged paper. And I’d like you to make each bag as heavy as you can.”

Me: “Sure thing!”

This man welcomed any exciting requests from customers.

A bit of a strange request, sure, but anything that broke up the monotony of the day was welcomed.

I managed to load his entire cart into three fairly heavy bags and bring them out to his car.

The customer shared that it’s his way to annoy his wife.

Customer: “In case you’re wondering, I just had a fight with the wife. And it’s my turn to pick up the groceries.”

Me: “Uh huh…”

Customer: “It’s also her turn to unload the car.”

LOL. That was funny. Let’s check out the comments of other people on Reddit to this story.
