Take a number please

Today I stopped by the fabric store and much to my surprise the entire store had been rearranged and "updated". After finding my way through the newly laid out fabric, I brought the ones I chose to the lady at the cutting table. There was only one other person in the store that was all the way at the other side of the store checking out. When I laid the fabric on the table the lady asked, "do you have a number?" Confused I told her no. She pointed to a number giving gadget and told me, "take a number please." 2 seconds after I took a number, a small screen above the ladies head started to flash "55". I looked at my number which happen to be...55! The lady walked all the way to the phone, got on the intercom and announced, "now serving number 55, now serving number 55." I looked around me and then again at my number and then handed her number 55. She smiled and said thank you and then proceeded to talk to me like this awkward moment had not just happened. As I was telling Kurt this story he laughed and reminded me of the above Meet the Parents moment! Funny but awkward!
