A Paucity Of Verbosity
Pharmacy | Working | November 25, 2012
(I need to get some prescription medication, and decide to use the opportunity to get some exfoliating cream, which helps remove dead skin.)
Me: “Hi, this is a prescription I need filled. Can you also tell me where you keep the exfoliating creams?”
Cashier: “…The what?”
Me: “Exfoliating creams?”
Cashier: *slowly* “Ex-fooo-liating creams…” *turns to her manager* “What’s exfoliating creams?”
Manager: *to me* “They’re right this way.”
Cashier: “Sorry, I haven’t learnt big words yet!”
