Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The pharmacist at the counter asked the older boy, “Son, how old are you?”
“Eight”, replied the boy.
The man continued, “Do you know what these are used for?”
The boy replied, “Not exactly, but they aren’t for me. They’re for him. He’s my brother. He’s four.”
“Oh really?” the pharmacist replied with a grin.
“Yes.” The boy said. “We saw on TV that if you use these, you would be able to swim, play tennis, and ride a bike. Right now, he can’t do none of that.”

True story. When I was 17, my girlfriend had me buy a her tampons and such, so one day during lunch from high school, I had a supersized box and a bottle of Midol. The "helpful" clerk says she thinks there's a special and asks for a manager over the intercom. Mortified at the time. Funny now.
Thought you were going to say the manager only heard the word "tax", and called back on the intercom and ask "what kind, the ones you push in with your thumb, or the ones you pound in with a hammer?".

Had a cashier do that at Walmart once when my wife was buying a skimpy Christmas-themed negligee. You know, the ones with the fur hem so her neck doesn’t get cold?
Cashier held it up and yelled “Can I get a price check on this?!”
