Eggplants Are Purple?


Am I the only one who thinks that if you're going to be a checker in a grocery store, you should be able to recognize various kinds of produce? And we're not talking exotics here, just your basic everyday vegetables. I did my weekly shopping today and I had to identify four different things so the checker ringing me up knew what to look for on her list. I regularly buy a lot of fresh fruits and veggies so maybe it's just me, but eggplant, zucchini, Portobello mushrooms, and sugar snap peas are very recognizable. I guess they need to slap those dumb little code stickers on everything now. Although, I'd love to see the poor guy who has to put one on each and every sugar snap pea. Could be amusing

Lol. Checkers are supposed to know these things.. sigh. I could would've recognized all of those, I love to buy fresh veggies and such.

 

And a theory to the middle name times 8.. Letter sequence A=1, B=2.. etc.. add those then multiply that sum by 8. ;)

If the checker doesn't know what it is, tell them that it's something cheaper like an apple. That it's purple because it's not ripe yet 0:)
