I’m picking up a few things at Trader Joe’s — some Clif bars, a couple boxes of cereal and a bottle of IPA.
The checker points to the bottle and says, “That’s good. Have you tried it?” Like he’s the beer expert and I don’t know anything.
“Yeah, I’ve tried it.” Not to be outdone, I pointed to the cereal boxes and said, “Have you tried it on cereal?”
“No.”
“Well . . . think about it.”
Not to be outdone by a checker making friendly conversation, your response is to say something strange and awkward. Well played. You sure showed him.
