The Invisible Shoppers

We were visiting Spain, and we were in a very large department store. We saw something we wanted to buy and carried it to a counter. We were the only customers in sight, and there were two saleswomen behind the counter talking to each other rapidly in Spanish.

We waited patiently while they did tasks at the counter, still chatting. They never seemed to notice us at all. Finally, having finished their tasks, they kissed each other on the cheeks and walked off in opposite directions, leaving us still standing there.

We burst out laughing, put down the thing we wanted to buy, and left.
