This happens to me every time I go shopping. Be ready, you're going to get it ALL the time. I have to name all but the most common vegetables. I often if I am the only one who buys them. Perhaps they are purely decorative?

I often wonder if I am the only one why buys them, I meant to say!

I resisted the temptation to reply, " No, they are limes. Thirty-three cents each. Ring 'em up, buttercup."

At least the cashier didn't call them "arty-chokes." Or did they?
Oh, how I love artichokes. I think I need to stop at the store on the way home and get some.

well the funniest was when I brought figs to the cashier, and she turned and turned them, then with the most perplexed look on her face, asked what they were..I replied figs...and she said..how do you eat them??

I've had like 400 glasses of rosé tonight, and all I can say is "Stupid, yep she's very stupid." Remember the wine in my WC? Well, it's all gone, now :)

I get that comment a lot with avocados. And the one time I bought okra (they don't know how to keep it fresh here in my part of the northeast) I had to spell it for the cashier and help her look it up. Then she thought it was a fruit - "Is that some kind of kiwi?"
