Quick thinking‏

Postby Pip » Wed Jun 29, 2016 2:18 pm

A Birmingham supermarket took on a new young assistant to work in the vegetable section.

On the second day a customer approached him and said he wanted to buy half a cauliflower.

The young assistant told him that they only sold whole cauliflowers. However, the customer
persisted and asked to see the manager.

The assistant went to fetch him, and, finding the manger in the stockroom said: “Some asshole out there"
wants to buy half a cauliflower.” But as he finished his sentence he turned to find the customer
standing right behind him, so he added: “And this gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other
half.”

The manager approved the deal, and the customer went on his way. Later the manager said to the boy,
"I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people here who think
on their feet. Where are you from, son?"

"Cardiff, sir," the boy replied.

"Why did you leave Cardiff ?" the manager asked.

The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing there but prostitutes and rugby players."

"Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Cardiff."

"You're kidding?" replied the boy.

"What position did she play?"
