Overheard at Work: The Legendary Journies

Jul 18, 2009 22:07

So, I haven't posted in months, because nothing much is happening that I actually want to talk about or am able to talk about without stabbing someone, so instead I present yet more work quotes:

Customer #1: *notices me stocking prepackaged cheese from boxes in a cart* Are all those boxes full of cheese.

Me: Uh ... yes.

Customer #2(seems to be his wife or girlfriend): *ignores him and speaks to me* Which of these is sharper, the Double Glouchester or the Uniekaas Reserve.

Me: Well, the Double Glouchester is a traditional English cheddar-style cheese, so it's going to be quite sharp, but the Uniekaas is a gouda, so it's going to have more of a sweetness.

Customer #1: Cheddar is from Europe?

Me: Yes, it's named for a town in England.

Customer #1: There was a mouse from Europe, that was always eating a big hunk of cheddar.

Me: Uh ... 8D *dead eyes*

Customer #1: Yeah, it was a mouse ... from Europe? And it had cheddar.

Me: 8D

Customer #1: A mouse! From Europe, right?

Customer #2: *gives him a dirty look and pulls him out of my department*

Me: 8'D

Oddly enough, he didn't even seem to have any sort of syndrome. And also ...

Me: Can I help you find anything today? :) *sparkles*

Customer: No, I'm just homing in like a heat-seeking missile on the Cotswold here.

Me: *after he leaves, to co-worker* But ... the Cotswold's in the refrigerator. A heat-seeking missile wouldn't be able to find it.
