First off, a hearty F YOU! to my employers for requiring us to get zip codes from every, single, customer! I get so many hearing impaired and non-English speaking patrons... I can only get zip codes most of the time. And our store is STILL in the bottom for zip codes.
I had a guy and his daughter (young daughter, no older than ten?) come through my line yesterday. They were non-English, but the daughter could speak it.
I ask for Zip code, daughter doesn't understand it. Guy tells me, "Cero Seis Cero Uno."
I look at him, and say, "That's not enough digits for a zip code."
Guy repeats.
I tell him again, "That's not enough digits."
Daughter is no help, she can't translate zip code...
I finally just hold up all my fingers on one hand, and guy suddenly understands, and gives me his zip code.
It took way too long, and I could NOT think of a way to describe Zip code that would make sense... Anyone know how to say 'zip code' in spanish?
