How much is that?

So I am at the grocery store this evening for a some needed dinner ingredients and as I walk by the deli counter this is the dialogue I overheard.

(customer) “I would like some smoked turkey

(clerk) “How much would you like?”

(customer) “I don’t know.”

(clerk) “How about a half a pound?”

(customer) “No, that is way too much.”

(Clerk) “How about a quarter pound?”

(customer) “Nah, that isn’t enough.”

(clerk) “How about a third of a pound?”

(customer) “How much meat is that?”

At this point I was convinced the clerk was just going to throw the meat at the customer, got to love people when in the service industry.

Today it rained outside, and you wonder why I remark on this, well in CA when it rains everyone works from home. Seriously when it rains everyone just boards themselves up in their houses, it’s like they have never seen rain before. As I find this humorous and ridiculous, frankly I did the same thing.
