Well even if they got where they were suppossed to the still wouldn't find it, the Andover store is a Market Basket! I haven't lived in Mass long enough to figure out why people always call Market Basket De'Moulas I know they are the same company, but all of the stores I have seen look pretty old, so this doesn't seem to be a recent change.

DC : "I need a reading book!"

When I first read this, my first thought was a toilet book, I don't know why . . . I just figured she needed a reading book while she was in the bathroom . . .

Me : "*pointing to sign over head, signs in windows, reflection of massive shop sign in shop window opposite us* We're *insert shop name here*. *insert other company name here* hasn't been in this building for over four years now."
DC : "Rubbish! You're exceptionally rude! *storms out*"

Ya, you shouldn't lie to customers like that . . . (!!!)

And you managed to not laugh in her face while this whole ordeal was going? I'm impressed.

Today....

DC: Do you have any audio listening stuff?
Me: Are you looking for CDs or audio books? (they're in two different places)
DC: Yes, CDs.
Me: They're straight over there.

Mind you, she had just walked in the front door that is directly in front of the music department, which has a big-ass red sign that says "Music" of all things! Oh, well, at least she was nice!

the first lady sounds like someone who hadn't read a real book since finishing Johnny and Jennifer Yellowhat in infant school, (where of course, your reading book is what you take home and read to your mum every night). Clearly she wasn't prepared for the plethora of reading books available to the average literate adult in any high street bookshop !

D'oh! I mix DeMoulas/Market Basket up all the time. It won't be the first (or last!) time I've given bad directions to someone without meaning to.

I hope the poor thing didn't end up in New Hampshire. I can just see it now:

"Where am I?"

"You're in Salem."

"Where?"

"Sa-lem."

"Lem. But where am I?"

Thank you, thank you, I'd like to thank my boss for always letting me serve the thickos, the owners of the firm for paying me to deal with morons, my family.... What can I say, four long painful years in retail has taught me the power of a poker face
