This is a real thing. If you don't know what I'm referring to, read this article from CNN. The Indian Head Bobble is a frequent occurrence in our wine store as we have a large population of Asian-Indians in our community. I was first made aware that this was a real way of communicating via a little show called Outsourced. The picture is of actress Anisha Nagarjan, a character on the show who demonstrated the bobble and explained it to the American she now worked for.
Some Asian-Indian men do not like to speak with me. I understand. It's a cultural thing. But, if you want to speak with someone who knows wine, on some nights, I might be all you have.
So, one day, I approached two men and asked if they needed any assistance. The one customer was holding a bottle of Riunite Lambrusco. He said he was looking for a red wine. I asked the usual questions such as what price range, what style, what country, etc. I pointed to the wine he was holding and explained that it was sweet.
Some head bobbling occurred between the 2 men and then they simply just walked away from me without a word.
Debbie is once again confused.
