O Dear
(I’m working at the self-checkout area. I watch over the customers, and help them if they seem lost. One customer has a bunch of green onions, and is looking for them in the ‘No Barcode’ area, under ‘G’. This is a common mistake, so I go to help.)
Me: “‘O’, ma’am.”
Customer: “Oh, what?”
Me: “No, ‘O’. It’s under ‘O’.”
Customer: “It’s under oh what? What’s it under?”
Me: “‘O’.”
Customer: “Oh, what? What’s it under?”
(I walk over to her and tap the ‘O’ button.)
Me: “No, it’s under ‘O’. ‘O’ for onion.”
Customer: “Oh. Oh, ‘O’!”
Me: “Yeah, ‘O’.”
Customer: “Oh, okay!”
