The Free Box

The other day a man came up to the counter, held up his items, and said, "I found these in the free box."

He was "joking", of course. He kept up the "joke" the entire time I was ringing him up. (I think he was expecting me to laugh.)

For some reason he thought he was the first person to make that "joke". I can't tell you how many times I've had someone come up and say, "I can't find the price; that means it's free, right?"

Note to all jokesters: It's not funny. Trust me: Not. Funny.
