Wife (27F) and I (27F) were grocery shopping at Whole Foods on memorial day. We stop by the spice aisle to look for whole cardamom, and there’s a man standing there on the phone. He loudly proclaims to whoever he’s speaking to on the phone that “he can’t find whole cinnamon” and that he “doesn’t think they have it”. Mind you, we spotted at least 4 different whole cinnamon stick offerings right in front of his nose. We did not find whole cardamom.
A little while later we’re in the checkout line when my wife realizes that we need soy sauce. She departs for the soy sauce aisle, and returns with a bottle. She also reports that the same man from earlier is standing in front of the soy sauce, loudly talking on the phone that he also can’t find the soy sauce.
It would be funny if it weren’t so sad. I feel bad for whoever he’s doing the shopping for (presumably his wife), who will probably get fed up with his incompetence and just do it herself from now on.
