Deficiency Leads To Stupidity
(In my store, we sell mainly natural real fruit smoothies, but we do have additions like vitamins, antioxidants, and whey protein. All of our additions are listed on our menu. A lady who looks to be in her mid 40s approaches my counter.)
Me: “Hi there. What can I get for you today?”
Customer: *reading addition section* “What is protein?”
Me: *thinking she unfamiliar with “whey”* “Well, it’s protein made from dairy that’s been processed into a powder. Ours is vanilla flavored, so it goes well with all of our fruits.”
Customer: “Yeah, yeah, but what is protein?”
Me: *confused* “Protein? You mean the like the stuff you normally get from eating meat or eggs?”
Customer: “Yeah, I’ve never heard of it before. What is it?”
