TRANSCRIPT:

Me: Is this birdcage made out of nickel?
Pet Store: Aluminum I think
Me: So there’s no nickel in this cage?
Pet Store: Don’t you dare!
Me: It’s a nickleless cage
Pet Store: GET OUT!

[pictured is a long-haired Nicholas Cage, looking fabulous in the sun and wind. To his left, it’s captioned with the text “Worth it”]

EDIT, 2026: Looks like the original poster of the picture has had their account wiped & purged. I’m so glad I made a transcript of the original meme, so while the post is gone, the joke has been saved!
