Friday, March 27th, 2009. Approximately 4pm at TJ's Rockridge.
A young, very androgynous female stands in front of the meat section (sausages to be exact) looking utterly confused.
Me: Hey! Did you need any help?
Girl: ...
Me: Just trying to decide?
Girl: ...I don't eat meat, like ever. And now I need to buy meat for my friend's birthday and I have no idea what to get. It just all looks so phallic to me.
Me: ...
Girl: You know?
Me: ...uh, yeah. Well, you could also go with some marinated chicken.
Girl: No. I think pork. Do you have any pork sausages?
I heart our customers sometimes. Here's my workplace in a nutshell... or a youtube video. How did they know I have a soft spot for Brazilian lounge music?
And here is the very beautiful original as sung by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Astrud Gilberto. Who wants to take me to Brazil this summer?
