And A Pound Of Pronunciation, Please
(We sell almost any kind of vegetables at our grocery store.)
Customer: *checks a list* “A pound of [incomprehensible], please.”
Me: “Could you repeat that, please?”
Customer: “A pound of [incomprehensible]!”
Me: “Sorry, sir, never heard of [incomprehensible].”
Customer: *angrily* “[Incomprehensible]! You call yourself a grocery?!”
Me: “Sorry, sir, we don’t have it!”
Customer: “I’ll never come back here again!” *leaves grumbling*
(An hour later, he returns.)
Customer: *apologetic smile* “Couldn’t read my handwriting. A pound of roast beef, please.”
