Personal Note: Overheard at the Market

[nebroadwe]

I was buying raspberries at the market this morning when the following announcement interrupted the muzak:

If there is a professional corn-shucker in the store, please report to produce. Professional corn-shucker, please report to produce. Thank you.

And then we were back to random pop hits of the eighties and nineties. I lingered by the root vegetables for a few minutes, but if there were a cereal emergency in progress, it was too subtle for me to perceive. Hmm.

I was wondering whether it was some manager's way of tweaking his visiting dad or something. It was only one other woman and I in produce at the time, and we looked at each other and giggled ... and nothing seemed to happen.

Ooh, I bet it WAS some sort of prank by someone that worked at the store...
