When I was in college, I worked night stock at a grocery store here in KC during breaks. It was always interesting people watching in the middle of the night. We had plenty of drunks and once in awhile, we'd get a couple that came in with one dragging the other around on a leash. The workers were an odd mix too and I think half of them would get baked before coming in. We had one guy use his one phone call from jail to let us know he wasn't coming in.
One night an attractive lady was shopping (something that always caught the eye of the all male crew) and one of the workers "Steve" decided to pull a prank on the night manager. Condoms were hard to find in this particular store as they were obscured by a support beam and customers frequently had to ask where to find them. Steve walked past the manager and said that he had to take care of something in the back, but there was a lady in aisle 8 looking for the condoms.
As was told to me by someone working by that aisle, the manager walked up to the lady (box of condoms in hand) and said "I believe you were looking for these". I could hear the lady screaming at the manager from my spot in the dairy aisle followed a lot of apologies from the manager and laughs from the crew.
A couple of moments later the intercom screamed out "STEVE-OFFICE-NOW!!!". Steve was a goner.
