Opening A Whole New World To Them
(I work for a supermarket filling shelves when a male customer, roughly mid-forties, approaches me.)
Customer: “Excuse me.”
Me: “Yes, sir?”
Customer: “This can of tuna doesn’t have a pull ring.”
Me: “Yes, some of the larger ones don’t.”
Customer: “Then how the hell am I supposed to open it?”
Me: “With a can opener?”
Customer: “A what?”
Me: “A can opener.”
Customer: “What the hell’s a can opener?”
Me: “Umm… It’s a metal kitchen tool used to open cans.”
Customer: “I’ve never heard of such a thing in all my life!”
(I took him to the kitchen section and showed him the can opener and exactly how to use it. He thanked me and walked away, looking baffled.)
