anchar Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Firstly, a disclaimer: these stories are not shared with the intent to show disrepect to people with ethnic backgrounds I used to work at an LFS and I thought I'd share a couple of funny stories with you..... Story 1: One day a fellow of Asian background came into the shop. He was browsing the food section so I approached him and asked if I could help him with anything. He said, "Do you sell parrot food?".....so I answered, "Sorry but we only have fish food here". He replied with, "I feed my oscar parrot food...I need parrot food". Now I was visualising an oscar crunching down sunflower seeds etc. and was a little horrified at the thought of this poor fish's diet. So I turned and said to him.. "We have food here that would be far more suitable for your fish". I led him to the row of pellets. "Ah", he says as he picks up a packet of Hikari Gold.."Parrot food"... Geez I felt stupid:b Story 2: Another day at work, a customer (of Indian decent) approached me and asked for a "3 foot guppy net". I thought to myself how odd...so I dismissed myself and returned with a selction of nets, guppy breeder etc. for his perusal. He stood there shaking his head and repeated that he wanted a 3 foot guppy net. I tried to explain that they didn't make guppy nets that big and suggested a pool scoop. By this stage the gentleman was getting a little frustrated and I was becoming frayed at the edges. As we walked back towards the counter, he stopped and touched a wood cabinet and tank set-up. "3 foot guppy net", he said again. Suddenly I realised that he meant a 3 foot CABINET...... merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
