No Speaka Da English


Ok, Sunday morning Jacob and I are pondering what to make for dinner. I decide that a nice pesto cream pasta would be great and Jacob agreed. We set off to Commercial Drive to get most of the stuff and decide to buy cream at our local Safeway so it would not spoil in the trunk of the car while we ran our errands.

Fast forward 3 hours....Safeway on Davie and Cardero. We look all over the dairy section (which is like 7 huge ass fridges) and we cannot find cream. We hunt down a Safeway employee in his trademark red smock and ask him 'Hey, would you guys keep cream anywhere else but in the dairy section by any chance?'. He replies with a blank stare followed by "cream?". And I said, 'yeah, cream'. Followed by yet another blank stare and some stammering. Finally I say, 'you know, cream. It's between buttermilk and milk. You know, like milk but thicker...'. He had NO idea wtf I was talking about.

Who in the hell doesn't know what cream is?!?

Man that guy was dense! We even tried to tell him that cream is what you put in coffee but he still didn't know what it was. And before you go assuming that he was ESL he clearly spoke perfect english!

I guess (pot induced?) stupidity knows no bounds.
