"Can you feel drops?" - BBQ at Darby's!

2009-07-21T16:38:00.005+01:00

♦
It's Barbie Time
I was waiting at a customer services station at Asda when a woman in front of me was returning a disposable barbeque. When asked why she was returning the barbeque, she replied,

"There was no meat in it!"
The shop assistant patiently explained that the disposable barbeque was simply to cook the meat and it did not include any food. Whereupon, the customer looked very embarrassed indeed.
The assistant checked the receipt and asked: "There are 3 barbeques on here, are you returning the other two as well?"
"I can't, said the woman, "they are at home in the freezer."
