Chicken Season
Customer: I’d like a pound and a half of salmon.
Me: Sure thing! Would you like the farm raised or the wild caught?
Customer: Oh god, the wild salmon. Never farm raised. That’s disgusting and wrong.
Me: Anything else?
Customer: Yes. Two pounds of boneless chicken breast.
(I start to fill a tray with the chicken. She stops me.)
Customer: Wait, young man. This is fresh, yes?
Me: Yes, ma’am. It’s fresh, never frozen.
Customer: And its wild caught, hmmmm?
Me: Um...no, ma’am. Its farm raised. All chicken is farm raised.
Customer: That can’t be! Why the hell would that be true?!
Me: I mean, no one is going out and....um...hunting chickens.
Customer: Maybe not here!
(She walks away)
