Pipe-ing Up
Craft Store, Ignoring & Inattentive, Impossible Demands, Minnesota, USA | Right | September 19, 2019
(It’s maybe two hours after we’ve opened and I’m at the fabric counter, re-pinning fabric that needs to be put away. A man and his daughters come walking toward me.)
Daughter: “We could just ask.”
Me: *looks at them expectantly*
Dad: “Do you have indoor plumbing?”
(At first, I think he wants to know if we sell plumbing equipment, and I pause before speaking.)
Dad: “Do you have a bathroom?”
Me: “Yeah, a couple of aisles that way.” *gestures*
(What a weird way to ask if we have a restroom. They had also just passed it two aisles back, if they had bothered to look around for a moment.)
