Customer: I am looking for that wine.

Bud: Which wine?
Customer: The one I drink on Thanksgiving.
Bud: Well, of course. Do you remember its name?
Customer: I get it here every year.
Bud: I see. What type of wine is it?
Customer: Red.
Bud: Okay, let’s see if we might narrow this down. What type of red?
Customer: There is more than one type of red wine?
Bud: Yes, there is merlot, cab, pinot noir and many more.
Customer: What goes with turkey?
Bud: While I am not a wine expert, I have friends who are swear by pinot noir.
Customer: But isn’t that a red wine?
Bud: Yes it is.
Customer: I thought white wine goes with turkey.
Bud: It can. It is a matter of taste and choice.
Customer: I just remembered the wine. It is sangria.
Bud: I will take you there.
Customer: Will it go with turkey?
Bud: You might want to serve it with desert.

Customer: Will it go with pie?
Bud: Of course.
Customer: Is there any cheaper types?
Bud: That is a gallon for $5.99. No, you can’t do better than that.
Customer: Will you be here next year?
Bud: I hope so.
Customer: I’ll ask for you.
Bud: I am already looking forward to it.
We shall be here again.

I loved this one Bud. Yep, when you drink once a year it’s tough to remember what you had. Bwahahahaha. I bet this really happens more than we know.
Thanks for the laughs. There are just dumb people everywhere.
Have a great evening. 🙂
Thanks for the moment of self-affirmation! I may as well do what I do because, clearly, the public is the same no matter what you do. Did you ask if she was, by chance, an electrical engineer?
Sandee-
Somes they are everywhere…
Karen-
I think she was in the Navy… Or an atomic scientist…
Hell with dessert, I can have Sangria for breakfast. Sangria is my Smirnoff. LOL!
That lady kinda reminds me of the lady I dealt with who couldn’t understand the plane not having a first class cabin. UGH!! Gotta love retail.
Now the question is – will YOU remember her next year?
That’s like when I worked at a financial institution –
Me answering the phone: “Hello, XXX Credit Union, how may I help you?”
Customer: “If I fax you my paycheck, can you deposit it?”
Me: “Ummm…no”
I think over the years you might build up quite a rapport…
In years to come you’ll look back together on the happy intro you had over narrowing down the wine…
Jodi-
You are SO right. It is like the lady who needed to actually FLY the damn plane…
Berleen-
She is burnt into my memory…
Joe-
If she is still alive. She was 98 or something…
She clearly did not understand who she was dealing with. As my mother would say (ahem) “Good luck with that.”
Sometimes ya just wanna smack some ppl upside their head…
Sometimes ya just wanna smack some ppl upside their head…
You have a date!
Mimi-
And she will be told that…
Lyn-
Hard. Very hard…
Oh my god Bud, you were so nice. Someone should buy YOU a drink =)
I still crack up thinking about the day you told her that. She never knew what hit her…..
Starr-
I never get the right offer from the right woman. C’est la guerre…
Mimi-
I think not…
I see you met my Grandmother—-Good Lord! That made me laugh!
Purple Stinky Onion!
PSO-
She was VERY nice…
