(The customer approaching the seafood counter is an older male with a VFW hat and an American flag patch on his coat.)
Me: “Hello, sir, how can I help you today?”
Customer: “I want some white shrimp.”
Me: “Raw or cooked?”
Customer: “Raw.”
(I lead the customer over to our raw case and continue talking as he starts reading the tags. It’s dead winter, so all our white shrimp are from warm South East Asian countries.)
Me: “We keep our raw shrimp over here. What size would you—”
Customer: “White shrimp! I want WHITE shrimp! Not from any of these raggedy-a** countries.”
Me: *speechless*
