Working in a charity shop means you hear the cutest and funniest comments from kids. Hastings secretly loves when kids come in – mostly because they make him laugh, but also because sometimes giving them a free toy helps them leave faster! Here are the top 5 funniest things kids have said:
1. “Is this shop your house?”
A little boy asked Hastings this while he was stacking mugs. Hastings just smiled and said, “Feels like it some days, lad.”
2. “Why is everything old here?”
One girl asked this loudly while holding up a knitted tea cosy. Her mam shushed her, but Hastings just chuckled and said, “Because old stuff is better than new stuff sometimes.” She looked suspicious of this answer.
3. “Can I buy this for my dog’s birthday?”
A young boy held up a porcelain unicorn with glitter all over it. Hastings said, “Of course you can. Your dog has great taste.”
4. “Is that your granddad?”
A little girl pointed at a framed photo of an old man in the bric-a-brac section. Hastings laughed and said, “No pet, but he does look a bit like me on Mondays.”
5. “I’ll scream if I can’t get this!”
And scream she did – for a solid minute. Hastings calmly handed her the toy horse and said to her mam, “Here, it’s free. For everyone’s sanity.” He always says giving a kid a free toy is cheaper than buying new eardrums.
Kids bring chaos, cuteness, and comedy to the shop. Hastings says seeing their happy little faces (even if bribed with a toy) makes the job worth it – well, that and his strong tea breaks.
