At the Counter

A man of Polish ancestry walked up to the counter and asked for a Polish Meatball Sandwich. The man at the counter said:

- What a Pollack.

The Polish man said:

- I resent that. If a Jew came to your counter and asked for a kosher salami on rye, would you call him a stupid Jew.

- Probably, - replied the clerk.

- And if an Italian came in here and asked for spaghetti and meatballs, would you also insult him?

- Probably, - the clerk again replied.

- Why you're nothing but a bigot. Why do you have to insult everybody not like you?

At this, the clerk replied:

- Because this is a HARDWARE store, moron.
