For here, or to go?

Alright, a guy comes into the store several months ago and asks,
“Hey, can I try some pipe tobacco?”
I say, “Yeah, help yourself.”

He proceeds to eat, yes, eat small handfuls of 4-5 of our blends.
I shit you not. Yeah, I’m dying and no one knows but me because it’s a Sunday and I’m working alone.
“Which blend has more latakia?” He asks, while munching away.
I show him and he asks for 2oz of said blend.
I ask (and I can’t help myself), “You want that for here or to go?”
God, he looks confused.
“To go,” he says.
I’m still laughing about it . . .

  6. Sooo funny!

    Hours later, as he was sitting at home eating his tobacco, a light bulb probably went off over his head as he realized what you’d meant.

    Or not . . .

  7. I guess all tobacco is chewing tobacco…

    His mother probably did the same thing when she was pregnant with him.

    All tobacco is definitely not chewing tobacco.
    This guy was just a weirdo choad.

    Funny you should ask.
    He was a full-sized, gnome idiot.
    But I’d never put him on my lawn . . .

  11. I reckon he’s an alien who hasn’t quite figured out how the whole “chewing tobacco” thing works.


    An alien might not be too far from the truth

  13. Reminds me of the time I was at Panda Express, ordering up some Chinese to go. The lady in front of me was asked “For here or to go?” by the gal behind the counter. “Uh…….both” she answered.

    Both?

    :lol:
    Now and then if I’m getting drive-thru I’ll specifically ask for it “to go”.
    There’s that inevitable pause.

    Yeah, he ate it. Weird. Really weird.
