At Least The Cake Isn’t A Lie… Oh Wait

Customer: “Excuse me. These say they’re baby carrots. But they’re not. They’re just small regular carrots!”

Me: “Yep, ‘baby’ is just how they’re cut, usually from fully grown carrots.”

Customer: “So they’re not actual baby carrots?

Me: “Well, technically, there are real baby carrots, but these aren’t those. These are whittled down from full-size ones for convenience.”

Customer: “That’s ridiculous. That’s false advertising!”

The customer eyes the wall and grabs a bag of greens.

Customer: “I guess this baby spinach is just regular spinach that’s been cut down to look small!”

Me: “Uh, no… baby spinach is actually young spinach. It’s harvested early because it tastes slightly sweeter.”

The customer just stands there a moment, blinking, bag of baby carrots in one hand, bag of baby spinach in the other. He then drops both on the floor.

Customer: “You need to be consistent with your lies!” *Storms off.*

Another customer who has overheard the conversation makes eye contact with me.

Other Customer: “Wait until he finds out the eggplants aren’t eggs!”
