(4 years ago in a Coffee Shop)
Ben: I swear, my dad asked me to buy this. I don't even smoke!
Shopkeeper: No no, you are under 18 and I cannot sell you cigarettes.
Ben: Look, my dad is sitting inside that (points) car.
Shopkeeper: Good, then tell him to come over and buy his own pack of ciggies.
Ben: Wait, you think I'm lying?
(A little girl approaches the counter)
Little Girl: One pack of Salem please.
Shopkeeper: For your dad I presume. There you go little girl.
Little Girl: I want.. no.. my dad wants the Light one.
Shopkeeper: Oh ok. Let me get that for you. So where's your dad?
Little Girl: He is.. somewhere..
Shopkeeper: Probably waiting for you at the sundry shop next door.
Little Girl: Yeah.. yeah.. that's where he is. See ya. [Walks away while unwrapping the cigarette box and taking out a stick]
Shopkeeper: Isn't she cute?
Ben: You sold a pack of salems to someone 10 years younger than me?!
Shopkeeper: That's for her dad. She said so. Children never lie you know.
Ben: Ok fine, I'm buying this pack of cigarette for my dad too.
Shopkeeper: But you are lying.
Ben: What the.. that little girl was a more obvious liar than me!
Shopkeeper: More? So you do admit you are a liar.
Ben: I.. I..
Children could easily be trained to be bank robbers.
I guess that's what happen nowadays as well...
ReplyDeleteYeah, children get away with a lot of things. Surprising though that a shopkeeper in malaysia would grill you that badly for buying a packet of ciggies. Over here they've got a $5,000 minimum find for selling them to underaged folks.
ReplyDeleteThen again, they won't treat kiddie bank-robbers as seriously though. They'd probably laugh it off and give the little 'un some coins to get more ciggies...
Must be ur eyes...u blink as if u r winking at the shopkeeper...hahaha...
ReplyDeletethe trip is cancelled due to inevitable circumstances...
hahaha,just kidding.
Amazing as it is, I don't doubt it happened.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've seen a young mum shoplifting by putting items in a bag her little kid was carrying.
Jail by 16. Guaranteed.
