Please just listen to me

Ok, so this was a long time ago when I worked in a grocery store. The store brand cola was on sale.

Old Lady: Hi, I wanted the Red Pop that was on sale.

Me: Well, all of the store brand stuff is on sale. There's no "Red Pop," but there's this Red Cream Soda, if that will work.

OL: I want the Red Pop.

Me: Well, there's this red creme soda.

OL: I want the one that's on sale.

Me: The store brands (gesturing to the bottles) here are on sale.

OL: I want the Red Pop that's on sale.

Me: We don't have that.

OL: What's on sale, then?

Me: All these store brand kinds, here.

OL: Is there Red Pop?

And so on. Her husband was there, and I think I caught a "I'm embarrassed to be here, but will stay quiet until my idiot wife buys something and we can leave" type looks.

That poor husband...Next time, maybe he should consider, I don't know, telling wife to listen better or to be quiet

Did they ever buy anything or is she still there asking another associate what's on sale.

Well, there was Red Pop in another brand, but it wasn't on sale. Honestly I forget if she bought something or I walked away.

Heh, this reminds me of another post I read not so long ago about someone wanting to buy a laptop... whoever it was who was dealing with her (I don't recall at the moment) even mentioned to the woman that she wasn't listening, and she proved it by just repeating the same question :P
