Brain cramps

Safeway clerk: And do you have a Club Card, ma'am?

Me: Uh.... well, I do, but not with me.

Safeway clerk: No problem. I can look it up by phone number. (places hands in readiness over keyboard)

(I give her the phone number.)

Safeway clerk (after entering it): Sorry, it doesn't have that number.

Me: Oh. Um. Well, I guess I haven't changed it to the new number yet. (thinking, Sheesh, we've only been there 4 years, what's the rush?)

Safeway clerk: I could try the old number. Do you know that one?

Me: (Is she being sarcastic or what?) Uhhhhhhh..... oh, yeah, it's 306-555-0102.

Safeway clerk (enters numbers): Well, it worked.

Me: Great!

Safeway clerk (does final total): That'll be $48.71. And you saved $17.38 today, Mrs. Rink.

Me: (Mrs Rink???? Oh, yeah. Guess that wasn't it.)
