How About Next Time Use Some Conjunctions?
I’m a shopper for online order pickup and delivery, so I’m in an aisle with a few customers gathering the items for my orders. An older lady pokes her head down the end of the aisle and shouts.
Old Lady: “Honey!”
I figure she is talking to her husband or a grandchild shopping nearby. After a couple of minutes:
Old Lady: “Honey!”
I look at her.
Me: “Are you talking to me?”
Old Lady: “Hooonnnnneeeyyyyyy!”
She speaks very slow and drawn out.
Me: “What can I help you with?”
Old Lady: “Where is the HON-EY?!”
Oh, I see. I tell her the aisle number and off she goes. The customer who had been shopping closest to me and listening to the whole exchange, tells me:
Other Customer: “I thought she was calling you, ‘Honey!’”
Me: “Yeah! Me, too!”
I’d later have customers come up and just say “cereal” or “orange juice” to find out what aisle they needed, but so many people here call others “Honey,” it’s a confusing one for sure.
