Trying To Swiss It Up A Little
(I’m the stupid customer here. I’m out shopping in the morning, and I’m not fully awake. I go to the deli section to get cheese. I want American, and I guess I am thinking about my father saying we have enough Swiss, which he normally eats.)
Me: “Hi, can I get American Swiss cheese?”
Worker: *pauses* “Uh, what?”
Me: “American Swiss cheese.”
Worker: “Um… American Swiss?”
Me: *finally catching on* “I mean American. Just American. No Swiss.”
Worker: *laughing* “It’s okay; yesterday I had a customer swear to heaven and back that American Swiss was a real thing.”
Me: *now also laughing* “Oh, geez.”
(At least the rest of the day went better.)
