Bet you someone had been assigned to bring an asparagus dish to the family's holiday dinner, and forgot to buy it. Any time I was asked for something strange on a holiday when I worked for the 7-11 type store, that was usually the reason.
Then there was the night I was asked to recommend a wine to take to someone's house. I am a total nondrinker who knows more about quantum physics than I do wine e.g. almost nothing. I did know to ask if they were having meat or fish, and they didn't know, so I sent them on their way with some Weibel Green Hungarian. Please don't gag or laugh at me if this isn't a good choice; I was going according to the radio advertisements, which at the time were very clever. Since the customers didn't know any more than I did, they bought it and went on their way, and I never heard if it was a hit or a miss.
