Best To Nip(ple) That One In The Bud
(A customer has asked me for five kilos of pork belly, in large pieces, but she has rejected every piece I’ve shown her, after looking at the underside of it. Note that pork belly comes with the skin on.)
Me: *after another refusal* “May I ask wh—”
Customer: “They have nipples!”
Me: *looking at the tiny nipples on the skin side* “Uh… yes?”
Customer: “I don’t want it with nipples!”
Me: “It’s pork belly. That’s… where the nipples are.”
Customer: “I need it without nipples.”
Me: “I can have the butcher remove the skin for you…”
Customer: “NO. I’ll still know they were there.”
Me: “Okay, so… what would you like?”
Customer: “Don’t you have any without nipples?”
Me: “All mammals have nipples, ma’am.”
(She didn’t buy any pork belly.)
