Misinterpretation

 Hi there

When I was on My Great South Island Road Trip last month, I popped into a Queenstown pharmacy to buy some cream to combat sandflies (wish there'd been something for Duckage).  I handed over my loyalty card.

"You've got $10 off because of your loyalty card,"  said the pharmacist.  "Do you want to take the money off now?  Or you can save it for another time.  Shall I take it off?'

"Yes please," I said.  "Take it off."

Two female pharmacy assistants sprang out from nowhere, danced around the pharmacist waving their arms and chanting "Take it off!  Take it off!  Woo-hoo, take it off-"

The pharmacist blushed.  I guessed he'd been this route before.  Harassment, much?
