I guess the butcher had finally had enuff from this one Yuppette who had been more than a little fussy over the purchase on a single steak.
I heard him say wearily, "Anything else you'd like to know Miss, perhaps the cow's name ?"
I guess I never realized what a commercial oriented age we live in until I heard this one lady shopper tell a grocery clerk, "I'm sorry. I just cannot remember the product name right now; perhaps if I hum a few bars of the commercial..."
Matron to greeting-card-clerk: "Do you have a get-well card that hints she's not as sick as she wants everyone to think she is ?"
Even time has no meaning at all to a lot of women shoppers. My wife left one morning on one of her shopping expeditions announcing:
"I'm going to do some shopping. I'll be back in about $ 350.00 or so."
It's not hard to tell when a salesperson has been pushed to just about the limits of their patience by a shopper.
I heard one salesgirl tell this Yuppette, "On the other hand, Madame doesn't really do anything for the dress either."
Sometimes, it's fun to try to guess the vocation of the various women shoppers. I noticed this obviously angry lady approach a clerk in an appliance store. She said, "It's concerning this electric iron..."
(At that point, I had no guess)
"You wish to complain ?" asked a clerk.
"Complain ?!?!?" she retorted. "Young man, that I could have easily accomplished by telephone. I have come here to revile someone !!!"
(Ahhhhhh, an English teacher)
