A man that Naruto has never seen before stalks into the store just as soon as she starts her shift. She watches him scowl before hastily making his way over to the festive sweater section. Her manager warned her that she was a bit too enthusiastic with offering help to customers, so she counts down from one hundred before approaching him. One hundred, ninety-nine, ninety-eight, twenty, nineteen, done!
Naruto swears she sees his wild mane puff up when she calls out to him, "Can I help you with anything, sir?"
Pretending that he didn't just jolt, the man holds out one of the most popular sweaters they have in stock like a used tissue and asks, "Don't you have anything else...spirited...that isn't as much of an eyesore?"
Obligatory customer service line said, Naruto reverts to her usual speech, "Not your style, huh?"
She grabs another sweater from a lower shelf and unfolds it for his perusal. "How 'bout this one?"
Impossible as Naruto thought it was, the man's frown deepens. She tosses it with a mental note to fold later and grabs another one. His expression doesn't change. They go through several sweaters until he finally cracks a reluctant smile at a sweater depicting a gingerbread man with a broken leg that reads 'OH SNAP.'
"All right! Grab your size and I'll ring you up," says Naruto as she turns toward the end of the aisle.
The man's dulcet voice stops her in her tracks, "Hold on. I need twenty-three more sweaters."
Unable to contain her shock, Naruto whirls around and squawks, "Twen—did ya lose a bet or somethin'?!"
The man's face contorts as if he just ate something fowl. Bullseye. Empathetic to his shame, Naruto nods and assures, "I'll go get the catalog."
Unfortunately, this website doesn't allow me to upload a picture of the sweater in question, but it (as well as many other amusing iterations) will appear if you google "oh snap christmas sweater."
