kinda funny.... but annoing

[dread head vegan]

today i was checking out at the grocery store. everything was going good until the casheir got to the 2 big bunches of kale. he looked up at me and asked me "what are these?" i said "Kale" he looked at me kinda funny and said. "no they are mustard greens" we kinda argued back and forth a little. so he called the produce manager. so, the produce manager came up. and he asked the produce manager what they where and he said "kale" the casheir looked kinda annoied and said thanks. and finnished scaned the rest of my items. just think it was kinda sad

What a waste of your time.

I'm surprised that he didn't believe you. I mean, why ask if your not going to listen to the answer? I have cashiers ask me all the time what stuff is and they always listen when I tell them. Very strange.

It doesn't bother me that they don't know what it is, but when they ask "What do you do with this." Some times I want to tell them "wipe my @#* with it"

Perfect thread for me. I just got back from the grocery store and this girl says to me " I"m glad this fruit has a number on it to tell me what it is."

IT WAS A MANGO for goodness sakes. I just smiled.

In my local Safeway, all the greens--mustard, collard, and kale--are lumped together as 'greens'. It's quite possible that he couldn't tell kale from mustard greens just by looking, but arguing with you isn't good customer service.

rofl!!

I think the cashiers in my area are given instruction to never ever comment on a persons groceries. Whether I have 20 pounds of bananas or a pack of grandma pads, pregnancy test and a gun magazine--never a word.

Now, as far as that stupid cashier-- i feel sorry for him that he doesn't know what kale is..but I'm grateful you taught him=)

i bought beets w/ attached greens a few weeks ago and the lady asked if i had a rabbit :P i told her the greens were the healthiest part and go well in smoothies and she looked at me like i was insane. oh well. there is a bagger at that store who loves to tell me how excited he is about the juicer he ordered :)

I had the same problem, I told the lady at the register that I was going to eat the greens. She looked at me like I was from mars.

I had my first mango about a year ago - never knew they existed until then :).

That's the amount of brainwashing and programming the populus is under the control of. We've literally been trained into ignoring fruits and vegetables.

haha this thread makes me think of yesterday when i was sitting in a cafe drinking tea and i overheard a worker talking with a friend. the friend's talking about some kind of "health" beverage and mentions vitamin B-12. the worker asks "What's B-12?" The friend says "I don't know. But it's always in a lot of health drinks." The worker -"Hm. Okay."

I just wanted to laugh! Us vegans are always asked where we get it from and many of the meat-eaters don't even seem to know what it is. If they do know of it, they just know of it because they've heard that you need it in order to survive. They don't seem to know why you need it - which it really is not something to be worried about as us vegans know. It's just a way of criticizing the unknown diet that meat-eaters love to mock so much for some unknown reason. :rolleyes:

Just goes to show you how many people buy kale. I wonder if the clerk will remember what it is next time.
If the cashier challenged me and mustard greens were cheaper, I might have said, Yeah they're mustard greens. :p

The big chain store near my house sells kale for $4.99. I really wanted some and didn't have time to drive to a better store. I suggested to the produce guy that the price sign must be wrong because it sells for $2-3 everywhere else. He just shrugged his shoulders. I left without any kale. :(
