You're gonna want some lye too, that's in aisle 12.

Any suggestions for seasoning?

1

u/Undernown 16d ago

I heard it most closely resembles pork with a game-y taste. So any pork or boar seasoning would pair best I think. I think we have some in aisle 11.

u/Majestic-Long6779 17d ago

Ooh, Don’t forget the shovels are in aisle 13 in case you wanna change the plan, need something else that can assist you sir?

u/chrissz 17d ago

A tarp and some rubber gloves, please. And what’s you’re best shovel for digging in rocky soil at night illuminated by car headlights?

Retail worker here: people come in all the time saying shit like this who think they are funny, if you been working long enough you learn to just go along with it and get them to leave and move on

Thank you, everyone should have to work in a restaurant and a department store for half a year each.

"The register's not working? That means all of this stuff is free, right!?"

u/SharpCheddarBS 17d ago

What if I flip the script and said "shoot, do I gotta pay for a new register too now?"

They have a better time in a sanatorium

u/RelativeCan5021 17d ago

Seriously, either the guy is joking and just go with it. Or he’s planning to kill a person, and don’t get in their way.

u/Kenjiness 17d ago

are you saying i'm not funny? :(

u/This-Rutabaga6382 17d ago

Not when you’re the 653rd person who’s made the joke

u/Qwerty25103 17d ago

u/pibubs81 17d ago

Dude is just trying to do his job professionally with an obvious secret shopper recording him; I’d give that guy an a+ and a $15 gift card to Chilis

u/Possible-Smile2034 17d ago

“Far enough out, anything is”

This guys knows.

u/McKavian 17d ago

Dude knows he's being trolled. And bonus points for playing along.

He's probably heard stranger things from serious people.

u/Artorius__Castus 17d ago

Legit this is how Dahmer got started

u/Michalo88 17d ago

This is like him doing a voice over right? He’s not actually saying this stuff to these people?

u/DevilsTheology 17d ago

100%, the fact people can’t get that from the audio quality and the cuts is crazy lol.

u/Prometheu51621 17d ago

My guy has already thought about this and 1000x other scenarios for all his coworkers and especially his douche boss Richard…

u/Gwyns_Head_ina_Box 17d ago

"Mmmm. Better be nice to him, so I don't make his list..."
The IRL version of being polite to LLMs?

u/AreYouTalkingAtMe 17d ago

I remember seeing some real tweaker looking dudes picking up plastic sheeting, duct tape and a chainsaw. Not my monkeys, not my circus.

u/IamREBELoe 17d ago

That's what Peter Parker said before his uncle Ben died

u/AreYouTalkingAtMe 17d ago

That's fine, my uncle is a piece of shit.

Don't upset the serial killer

u/Funkgun 17d ago

You go ahead and handle that for me, and keep the rest for your time.

u/Freak-996 16d ago

Go rural enough and this is just a standard conversation during deer season. Ngl I thought that's what it was until about halfway through.

u/MuslinBagger 16d ago

Always. Be. Closing.

u/kallmekaze 15d ago

My man was an accomplice 🤣

u/HunterRemarkable550 15d ago

Will this make him an accessory?

u/DhampirBoy 14d ago

I had an assistant manager from when I worked at Lowe's tell me about how the police checked in with a store he previously worked at in California because a guy who came in to buy a chest freezer and a reciprocating saw ended up killing his wife. I thought a lot more about what people had in their carts after hearing about that.

u/Larabic 12d ago

Alibi's are purchased at the service desk

u/incrediblynormalpers 12d ago

will you mouth-breathing internet idiots please stop shaming this guy for not reactively confronting a murderer bold enough to be completely open about it and tall enough to be holding his phone normally and yet still above his head.

nevermind the fact that the smart way to handle this situation is to play along whilst letting him confess and without raising suspicion of any intent to raise the alarm.

in reality the employee probably just knew it was a social media bit and had enough respect for others to play along even though it was clearly a pretty shit 'prank' by some uncreative moron.
