The recent Home Depot joke reminds me of an experience at a bookstore I used to work at. The store prided itself on customer service, and one thing we were taught there was not to tell customers, "Have a nice day," after we rang them out, purportedly because it sounded shallow and insincere. Instead, we were supposed to say, "Enjoy your books."
So one day a woman comes up to my register with a copy of Yellow Silk ("Journal of Erotic Arts"), Nancy Friday's "My Secret Garden: Women's Sexual Fantasies," and Betty Dodson's "Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving."
I said, "Have a nice day."
