I work for a local grocery chain that starts with an S. So, bring the huge nerd that I am, I pull out the Evil Dead references.

“Thank you for shopping at S Mart! Shop smart, shop S Mart!”

A customer was checking out at self checkout and when he finished up his transaction, I did my usual S Mart quote.

The customer actually knew what I was talking about! 🤓 He turned out to be an Evil Dead fan! He had pictures of his collection of props on his phone that he had to show me.

I couldn’t believe it. Almost none of my customers know what I’m talking about when I make random references.

One gentleman was wearing a Nakatomi Plaza t-shirt and it took him a few seconds to catch up to my quip, “So, are you going to their Christmas party?” Then, when his brain caught up, he laughed.
