Maybe Sit This One Out

I’m at a local chain home improvement store. I needed lawn chairs and asked an employee where they were in the store. He looked at me dumbfounded.

Employee #1: “Lawn… chairs?”

Me: “Yeah… they fold up. Portable. Not like patio furniture.”

Employee #1: “…and they’re portable, you say?” 

I would have thought it was just an off occurrence, but he called over two more employees for help.

Employee #2: “Chairs… for lawns?”

Employee #3: “And… portable?”

Employee #2: “And they fold up, you say?”

Me: “Am… I in a Monty Python sketch?”

None of them knew what I was talking about. I had to go to a different store entirely.
