The Big Store

For over four years now, I work at a large wine, liquor and beer discount store.  My stories will now detial what happens on a daily basis... the requests, the customers, the day-to-day.  I can't start this part of my life without the telling of the greatest story ever told to me.  In fact, it's not even my story, but one that has become famous in my circle of comrades.

An old colleague told me this story.  It's a story about a conversation he and a customer had at a previous job.  I hope I can only do this justice because it's more the waaaaay he tells it.  It's called Canterbury Tales.

Cantebury Tales

Customer:  "Hi, I'm looking for a wine called Cantebury Tales."

Colleague: "You must be looking for the library.  That's down the street."

Customer: "No, it's a wine called Cantebury Tales."

Colleague: "I'm pretty sure you're in the wrong store."

Customer: "No, it's a red wine called Cantebury Tales."

Colleague: "No such wine exists."

Customer: "It's a big, red wine from California."

Colleague: "Do you mean Cabernet Sauvignon?"

Customer: "Cabernet Sauvignon, Cantebury Tales, what's the difference?"

Colleague: "Oh, there is a big difference, sir."
(Wishing he could say "get the fuck out of my store!")
