Adorable Curious Child

This happened about a week ago, and it’s now one of my favorite customer interactions.

I’m on the register, and a kid and his dad come up.

The kid looks about 12. The dad tells me he doesn’t want to keep the hangers.

I throw them into a bin in the desk.

This woman got intrigued by the question the child wanted to ask her.

The kid turns to his dad and says, “Can I ask her a question?”

The dad, without hesitation, says no.

He doesn’t seem annoyed, more like he was trying to spare me.

The kid says, “Please, I promise it’s a normal question.”

I’m intrigued and say, “Well, now, I really want to know what the question is.

Don’t love that it comes with a disclaimer though. Haha!”

The child ended up asking more questions, which she appreciated.

The dad says fine, he can ask his question.

The kid just wanted to know what we do with the hangers if they don’t keep them.

He ended up asking me a few more questions while we were wrapping up.

He was very sweet and polite. His dad says he’s full of questions.

Days later, I’m still curious what questions got him to the point of needing a normal question disclaimer.
