Not Seasoned Enough To Know The Difference

(I am stocking pasta sauce when a customer walks up.)

Me: “Hello, sir. Can I help you find anything?”

Customer: “Which of these sauces provides the most authentic Italian experience?”

Me: “Um… Well, I know that [Brand #1] is very popular, though I’m partial to [Brand #2]…”

Customer: “Yes, but which is the most Italian?”

Me: “I don’t believe any of these brands are from Italy, but this one mentions Italian seasoning, if you’re interested?”

Customer: “Never mind. I’ll just get this.” *grabs a can of tomato paste and wanders off*

(In hindsight, I maybe should have stopped him, but I was just too stunned!)
