  • Are these edible?

    Ok so this happened a few years ago but i remember it like it was yesterday. I worked in a greenhouse for four years and every once and a while you'd get some customers which made you hang your head and go "by the gods!" (or "oh my god").

    Me: *restocking the vegetable section of the greenhouse, note giant green sign hanging from the ceiling that says "Vegetables"*
    Customer: excuse me miss, are these strawberries? *picks up a strawberry plant with bright red strawberries on it, they were sitting next to the pepper and zucchini plants*
    Me: yes ma'am they are
    Customer: are they edible?
    Me: ... yes ma'am, they are edible...
    Customer: oh, ok *walks away without the strawberry plant*

    I hope I never run into that customer.

      If she wants inedible strawberries, I can tell her where to buy some.

        No, they're just for decoration. You have to go to the frozen food section to get the edible kind
        The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

          And then off to the dairy section for some cream....

          anyone else want to bet what kind of cream she has? I'm thinking white, containing a lotta fructose and the tastes vary according to the person...

            A very personal taste? Hmmm...

            They do say that you are what you eat.
