The art of mishearing things at work

 

Been a few years since I wrote in this blog. I really should post more in this especially since I have worked in a supermarket for nearly 20 years. I tend to say stuff that could get me into trouble in an office setting

 

I work in the cold section and can mishear things or sometimes words don’t really register.

 

Guy comes up to me and asks for Toe food. Turns out it was Tofu

 

People come up to me and start asking for Keenwa when it started to become popular, I have no idea until I find out how its spelt and pronounced Quinoa

 

Acai, although I keep pronouncing as Akasi even though its wrong and in my head it seems right

 

Someone comes up and asks for Ees. Turns out its eggs and because the person main language isn’t English it can be interesting to figure out, but mobile phones and internet helps when they have a picture.

 

Guy asks for Lancer and I say we don’t have it until I realise he is saying Garfield’s favourite food Lasagne
