Me: Anything else I can get you?
Customer: Do you have any crab cakes?
Me: I do! I have three varieties. Which one did you want?
Customer: Do you have crab cakes?
Me: (pointing to the three types of crab cakes I have) Right here. Which kind did you want?
Customer: Crab cakes! (Acting like I’m just not getting it) Crab Cakes!
Me: These are all of the varieties I carry.
Customer: I want the kind in the crab shell.
Me: Oh, the deviled crabs. I don’t have any of them right now.
Customer: I call them crab cakes.
Me: Is there anything else I can get you?
Customer: I’ll take this front piece of tuna.
(I go to get the tuna in the front of the case.)
Customer: Front! Front!
(I move my hand around to all of the tuna steaks in the front of the case.)
Customer: Front! Front!!
(I move my hand to the back of the case)
Customer: Yes, that one. I call that the front.
