> I work at Brookstone and I had an african american young man who resembled Lil Jon sitting in one of the full massage chairs. I asked him how he was doing and he said, “good. do these chairs run on batteries?” after barely holding in a laugh, I told him, “they either plug in or take 30 D batteries.” He said “cool, thanks” and had a calculating look on his face, I guess he was trying to figure out how much 30 D batteries would cost :rofl

> me and dkid15 also convinced two african american girls that our massagers that slide over the back of chairs, in cooperation with our blankets, can cure cancer. they said, “nah, niggah, you must be playin wit me!”. I said “well, they only cure 3 types of cancer, brain, lung, and kneecap.” one of them said “I think my grandma had kneecap cancer.”🤣rofl swear to god. They asked how much they cost, I pulled out the classic line “$80, but for YOU… $79.99!” They were so pumped, they though I was gonna cut them a sweet deal or something :rofl Then they left the store to provide much-needed entertainment to some other lucky mall employee.

> last one, my manager (mike) was closing up shop one night when a bunch of gangstahzzzz “rolled up” to the front of the store where we keep the remote control helicopters. The guy who appeared to be the leader of the 6 or 7 kids in the group said “yo maing, how much dees helicopters?” Mike said “$50”. The leader kid said “DAYEM dats steep. yo we in a recession, can i get one for $30?” the other kids thought that was the funniest thing they’d ever heard, until my manager said “oh yeah, well if you can’t afford it, you can recess your ass down to the dollar store”. All the other kids did the classic “OHHHHHHHHHH SHIT SONN!” with their fists over their mouths the leader kid was struggling for words. They just walked away 🤣rofl

That last one made me lol. lol.
