I Wonder What They’re Making?

Customer: “I was looking for peeled and deveined shrimp. I’m making shrimp creole.”

Me: “I’ve got some peeled and deveined shrimp right here.”

Customer: “I don’t want cooked. I want to make shrimp creole.”

Me: “They’re not cooked. They’re raw.”

Customer: *Sigh* “I’m craving shrimp creole. I was gonna make some.”

Me: “Um… would you like some of these?”

Customer: “Show me what half a pound looks like. I want them for shrimp creole.”

I bag up half a pound.

Me: “This is half a pound.”

Customer: “They’re so big. I want them for shrimp creole. How about these smaller ones? Give me half a pound.”

I bag up the smaller shrimp.

Me: “Anything else?”

Customer: *Taking the shrimp* “I’m making shrimp creole.”
