Don’t Forget To Stock Up On Salmon Cartridges
(A customer is sent back to my department to find ink for her printer.)
Me: “Hello, ma’am. Do you need black or color?”
Customer: “I need cayenne.”
Me: “I’m sorry, I don’t know which color you mean. We have cyan; that’s a light blue.”
Customer: “No, I need cayenne. You know, like a peppery red.”
Me: “Ma’am, I don’t believe we have that color.”
(The customer bends over to get a closer look at the ink.)
Customer: “Hmmm, margarine.” *looking at the magenta* “Yellow…I don’t see cayenne.”
Me: “Are you sure you don’t mean cyan? It kinda sounds like cayenne.”
Customer: “No, I need red. My printer is out of red. Why wouldn’t you carry red ink?!” *walks out of the store before I can explain further*
