So, I was at the supermarket (Shop Rite) today, and I overheard a pair of young (teenage) employees trying to fill a “shop-at-home” order. Their conversation went something like this:<\/p>\n
\nGirl Employee<\/b>: Let’s see, we need to get some radishes. Which ones are the radishes? Oh, here they are. [Picks up a bunch of beets.]<\/i> These are radishes, right?<\/p>\n
Boy Employee<\/b>: No, I don’t think those are radishes; I think radishes are smaller. Maybe we’re out of them. [He was correct.]<\/i><\/p>\n
Girl Employee<\/b>: Oh, okay. [Consults a list in her hand.]<\/i> We also need an organic avocado. [Searches the refrigerated section.]<\/i><\/p>\n
Boy Employee<\/b>: No, I don’t think the avocados are in the cold section.<\/p>\n
Girl Employee<\/b>: [Laughs.]<\/i> Oh, okay; then where are they?<\/p>\n
Boy Employee<\/b>: I dunno.<\/p>\n
Me<\/b>: [Pointing at the avocados in front of them.]<\/i> These are avocados, over here.<\/p>\n
Both Employees<\/b>: Ohhhhhhhhhh! Thanks!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
