The Sad State Of Cat Food
(A woman flags me down for some help finding cat food.)
Customer: “I want something that’s made in the U.S. Nothing from China. And it has to be high protein, high fat. No chicken. He won’t eat that s***.”
Me: “That’s great, because plenty of our cat food are made in the U.S.!” *gestures to one brand* “This one sounds perfect, and it has non-chicken proteins like salmon.”
Customer: “He told me he doesn’t like seafood.”
Me: *thinking how her cat told her this* “Well, it also comes in quail, turkey, venison, and lamb as well. Lots of different meats that don’t go anywhere near the ocean!”
Customer: “What state specifically is it made in?”
Me: “I’m not sure…” *inspecting packaging*
Customer: “Because I don’t buy from redneck states.”
Me: “This one’s made in California.”
Customer: *pause* “Well, I guess made by Mexicans is better than from a redneck state!” *slides an armful of cans into her cart and walks away*
