So, yesterday I showed up to work at around lunchtime, and I did my usual thing, collecting trolleys from the car park and putting them in the trolley bay, but one trolley had a plant in it that a customer had obviously left behind. It was a herb, "lemon grass". So I took it back inside and showed it to the other cashiers, and it turns out that the guy that had bought it had left about 5-10 minutes before I came to work. And it also turns out that this guy had bored the brains out of the cashier that served him by talking solely about the herb for over a quarter of an hour. So the staff (or "team members" as we're called) made a bit of a joke about it throughout the day. A cashier would say "herbs" and then someone else would say "herbs" and the next thing you know, everyone who works here is saying "herbs" to one another. Sounds like a pretty poor joke, huh? Well, it doesn't end there! I had the closing shift, along with two other guys. We shut everything down, and then one of the guys walks over to the PA mic and flicks the switch on and says "herbs" for the whole store to hear. The other guy had gone into the office. We hear the pager on the phone network beep, and then we hear him yelling into the phone "HERBS!!!"
It was so unexpected it was funny. And now, as an inside joke, I find the word "herbs" funny. So sue me.

We have some very interesting herbs here in Holland.
