I get this so many times, every day. Today, the main one was sugar.
Now, The woman had a thick accent, and the habit of talking without moving her mouth, so I found it hard to understand her ANYWAY.
SW: Sugar Woman
Me: Not paid enough for this.
SW: Cn y shw me yur ruganc sjuugrr? (translation: Can you show me your organic sugar?)
Me: We don't sell sugar, I'm afraid.
SW: Ki, cn Ay shee yr othu sjuugrrr dn? (Can I see your other sugar then?)
Me: I'm sorry, But we don't sell ANY sugar. Just a couple of sugar alternatives- xylitol, fructose, agave syrup...
Sw: NA! Ay nd sjuuggrrr! (No! I need Sugar!)
Me: We don't sell sugar. Sorry.
Sw: Na Sjuugrrr?
Me: No. Sorry.
SW: Na Sjuugrrr?
Me: No.
There was another one, a few days back, which still makes me laugh.
A woman wanted to know what strength of Kelp we sell. I told her, she was certain she had a stronger one, I told her that was the only strength we'd sold in my time there, which is true. It was the rest of the conversation that got me.
KW: Kelp Woman
Me: Sorry that is the only strength we have sold for at least the last three years.
KW: Is it? Really?
Me: Yes.
Kw: Really?
Me: Yes, it is.
Kw: Really?
Me: Yes.

Me: Yes

Me: Yes

KW: Oh. Can I double up my dose, then?
Me: Yes, In fact you can take three of those tablets a day.
Kw: Can you? Really?
Me: Yes

Me: Yes

Me: Yes
Kw: Really?
Me: Definately, yes, it says so on the back, and in all our training literature.
KW: OH! Thankyou!
Seriously, did she think there was some magic number of thimes she could say really before I broke down and admitted what she thought was true?
