When Colloquialisms Meet Capitalism
Grocery Store | Right | July 24, 2009
(I’ve just rung up a customer up for cigarettes.)
Customer: “I’m gonna zip-zip it.”
Me: “Excuse me?”
Customer: “Zip-zip!”
Me: “I don’t know what that means.”
Customer: *getting annoyed* “I’m going to use my zip-zip card!”
Customer’s Daughter: “Zip-zip? Gosh, Mom! It’s a credit card.”
Me: “Oooh. You can slide that right over there.” *pointing to the card machine*
Customer: “Which button do I press? It’s asking me to pick payment type.”
Me: “…credit?”
