I used to work in a grocery store.
Customer: *Walking in and without even looking for themselves.* “Where’s the [Brand] peanut butter?”
Me: “Aisle seven.”
Customer: “Which one is that?”
Me: “The one with the seven on top of it.”
Customer: “Oh, well, if you could go get it for me, since you already know where that is.” *Smiles expectantly.*
I sigh internally and just go and get it for them.
Customer: “This is the 28oz jar! I wanted the 40oz jar! And I wanted smooth, and this is crunchy!”
Me: “Did you see the aisle I came out from when walking back to you?”
Customer: “Yes?”
Me: *Hands them the jar.* “That’s aisle seven. Now you know where it is.” *Smiles expectantly.*
