This is why when you work in customer-facing positions in any capacity, you NEVER comment on their purchases, their choices, their business, what they are buying, if you've seen them before, etc. Just mouth-shut, smile and get them through.

"I'm a person. Wanna trade?"
I also choose your dead person.
Classic
A while back I broke up after a long term committed relationship, and part of the process involved splitting our finances. I went to the bank to close our account, and it being around November, the teller innocently asked, "Do you have any plans for the holidays?"
I deadpan replied, "Well, I'm closing out a joint checking account, so what do you think?"
The teller: O___O "I am so sorry!"
Fortunately I was able to laugh about it and tell them it was okay.
Joke's on them, though, because I wound up getting blackout drunk on Johnny Walker Black with a real beard mall Santa that Christmas and saying things about my ex that I should not have said.
I want to know more about your time with Santa. That night sounds epic tbh
Summed up very briefly:
Black Label is the best thing to blackout from.
Better than saying, "I'd kill for one of these."
"I'll kill again for one of these"
"Well, I'll take the money if it's not important to you..."
"For what it's worth, they probably weren't all that great."
Problem fixed.
The way out is easy: "oh god, sorry to hear it, I'd rather have the person too". I don't think I'm a social genius.
well it depends on the person... just saying...
I also choose this lady's dead husband.
Yea for real. They know you didn't know that. Just be empathetic.
Sometimes you trip into other people's bad days. OP didn't say anything wrong.
IIRC bank tellers are supposed to talk about stuff like this to help catch fraud and extortion. If she sees a huge sum of money, it's her job to strike up conversation about it.
"Oh wow, the crime must be going really well, eh?"
WHY DID YOU REDEEM ITTTT!!! MAAAAM!
DO
NOT
REDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM
And then a very charismatic person behind her asks "How much do you want the person", while twirling their mustache.
