Don't judge a book by its cover

Today at the pharmacy, I was doing stock count when a customer came in. The pharmacist on duty, A, went to serve him.

"Hi, may I have a fit-pack please?" the big burly bearded man said.

At this point, I raised my eyebrows (but the customer couldn't see me because I wasn't facing him). Fit-packs contain sterile needles for injecting drugs, often illicit street drugs.

"With water or without water?" A asked him.

"With water, please."

And when the customer got what he wanted, he said "Thank you and have a nice day" to A.

How very polite of him! I was surprised.
