I'm standing at the sample bar at the store's doorway today when two women and a child walk up.
Me: "Want to try some (Really Super-Popular Iced Tea)? One for each of you?"
1st woman: "No, not for her (indicating the small child), but I'll have one."
2nd woman: "Me too!"
So I pour out two small samples and start chatting. "This has papaya, pineapple, a bit of citrus ..."
2nd woman immediately puts down her sample cup. "I'm sorry, I can't drink this, I'm allergic to pineapple."
Me: "Oh, sorry!"
Um, lady, if you've got food allergies, maybe YOU should ASK what's in the stuff BEFORE you drink it? Because if I hadn't been listing the ingredients, she'd have slurped it down, with who knows what results.
