I think this guy was from either a foreign country or some other region of the U.S., because he had an accent I didn't recognize. Also he may have been a bit dotty. This isn't sucky really; it's just weird. And kinda funny.
Anyhow I was filling some stuff in H&B and Pharmacy today and this older gentleman came up to me.
Older gentleman: Where's this? (pulls a linty marshmallow out of his coat pocket)
Me: A marshmallow?
OG: What is it?
Me: A marshmallow. No, we don't have those here.
OG: Where can I get a mars-mellow? (This is why I think he was from out of the U.S.--he didn't know how to say "marshmallow")
Me: Probably at Aldi's which is right down the hall from us.
OG: Where is that?
Me: Okay, you go out the door by the shopping carts and go straight down the hall. When you reach the end of the hall, turn left and keep going through the doors at the end. Aldi's will then be two doors down on your right.
OG: Where?
Since the light bulb didn't seem to be going off, I walked him to the front doors and pointed to the building with the big Aldi sign.
Me: See that building over there? The building with the blue, purple and orange sign? That is Aldi's. That's a grocery store. You can buy marshmallows there.
OG: Oh, okay. Thank you (pats me on the back and turns around to go through the doors leading to the mall)
Out of curiosity, I went over to the doors to see if he would head in the right direction. I watched him walk down and pull the marshmallow out of his pocket....
as he was walking into Radio Shack.
