Overheard:
Dudette saunters into the supermarket. Browses the electronics section.
Sales guy at the counter: You looking for something, madam?
Dudette: Yes..er…are rechargeable batteries available?
Sales guy: Yeah, of course…
Dudette: Alrite. *long pause* Okay…so…do you have a six-pack?
Sales guy: What???
Dudette: Arre…a six-pack..I want a pack of six batteries.
Sales guy: Oh, okay.
I would consider it an amusing life if I came across such characters several times during a day at work.
Seriously, such people! I mean, that guy would really have been amused at some girl asking him if he had a six-pack…and the best part is, the dudette never had a clue what she had apparently spoken.
And there are other reasons why supermarket staffers lead interesting lives. There used to be these two young sales people at the Jaipur Shopper’s Stop…the girl was usually on her shift in the ethnic wear section and whenever any of the people shopping wanted to see how a particular saree looked when worn, the girl would willingly oblige, call up the guy and then stand and twirl in front of the mirror while the guy tied the saree around her waist over her uniform, both of them exchanging coy glances in between.
There are several reasons that make shopping amusing. Got something to share?
