bixy Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 At the checkout at Casino Geant the following conversation, in French, took place. Checkout assistant holding up cucumber: "Is this a cucumber?" Me: "Yes". Assistant holds up parsley: "What's this?" Me: "Parsley". Assistant:"Is it curled or flat?" Me"Curled"I dare say the training may be somewhat inadequate but not recognising a cucumber? Perhaps when I next go in I'll give her a bus ticket and tell her it's a €50 note.Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suandpete Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 You wouldn't believe the problems I had on the Saturday before Christmas when I went to our local LeClerc just to get some parsnips - while I was there I spotted a red cabbage and thought - that will be nice cooked up with some onions and apples. Unfortunately the checkout girl thought that my red cabbage was a black radish.......... to cut a long story short when I explained at the acceuil that I had been charged for something I didn't have I had my trolley searched as if I was a shoplifter....................

MrCanary Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 At a UK supermarket, the very young male cashier held up a cauliflower and asked me what it was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
