Grocery Stories, Part VII
At the grocery store, I was at the bulk snack rack looking for one of my favorite snacks--chipnuts. It's very unfortunate that I know of their existence, because they are deadly and delicious, but I had a hankering, so I was looking for them. However, I could not find any so assumed they were sold out. A very nice store worker asked if he could help me find anything and this exchange ensued: Me: Oh, no thanks. I was looking for chipnuts but you don't seem to have any. Worker: [eyebrows up to his hairline] Um...I don't think we sell those, ma'am. Me: Yeah, you do. I've bought them here before. Worker: Uh.....really? Me: Yes. And they're REALLY good. Worker: [looking a little pale] We....we sell chipmunks? Me:.............[fighting internally] Me:.............[losing the battle] Me: With a little salt they taste just like chicken! Nearby woman who has been eavesdropping: [chokes on a laugh and starts coughing]
