Grape Gripes
(I am a cashier in a liquor store.)
Me: “Hello, Welcome to [Liquor Store]. Can I help you find anything?”
Customer: “Y’all have any grape wine?”
Me: *pause* “We sure do. Almost all wine is made from grapes. Do you know what type of wine?”
Customer: “Grape wine.”
Me: “Okay. Is it red or white?”
Customer: “Look. I’m not here to play twenty questions. I want that grape-flavored wine.”
Me: “Wine is made from fermented grapes. It’s technically all ‘grape’-flavored. Do you remember a brand name?”
Customer: “It’s the grape-flavored wine. Why is this so hard for you?!”
Me: *thinking furiously* “Grape-flavored like grape-flavored candy?”
Customer: *pause* “Yes.”
Me: *shows her to the Manischewitz Concord Grape Wine*
Customer: “Yes! This is what the Jews drink!”
