Keeping Things Cultured

I overhear a mother talking to her teenage daughter as I’m stocking an aisle.

Mum: “Get some of the Greek yoghurt, dear.”

The daughter obliges and comes back with a big, expensive tub.

Mum: “No, not that one.”

Daughter: “This one looks nicer.”

Mum: “I don’t trust any yoghurt that uses the word ‘luxury’. It’s yoghurt, not a yacht. Put it back and get the [Store Brand].”

I found myself silently nodding in agreement with a customer; a rare occurrence!
