Get tea behind me, Satan!

[Dadeo]

I was at the local grocery store this evening when this happened.

I'm trying kneeling down stretching to reach the last tin of coffee at the back of the bottom shelf when this lady, whom I have dubbed Evil Huntress, shoves a box of tea in my face.

EH: Does that look like "Satan" on there?
Me: Excuse me?
EH: There, it has "Satan" in it.
Me: No, that says "Sensations."
She then points to the shelf tag
EH: What about that? That says "Satan."

I look at the tag, due to the character limit it reads "Sensatns."

Alas, Wifeo is waiting so, as much fun as I could have had with this lady, I feel it's better to just extricate myself from the situation.

Me: That one says "Sensations", too.
EH: But it's got "Satan" on it.
Me: Nope, just "Sensations."
I maneuver my cart around her and as I turn out of the aisle...
EH: BUT IT SAYS "SATAN" RIGHT ON IT!

Rest assured, I "know the manager" and I will have him explain why he has chosen to carry the Devil's Tea in his good shoppe. Even if I have to break out the soft cushions and the comfy chair!

"Devil's Tea" sounds really tasty. I'd buy it.

[Sapphire Silk]

Oh, good lord. People like this make me so tired.

Superstitious twit.

not to mention she couldn't spell Satan apparently either.

Of course it's Satan's tea. That's why you have to boil the hell out of it.

A former coworker would get all freaked out if the register said $6.66. She wouldn't say out loud the amount.

What I wanna know is what the heck she was expecting you to do about it. O.o Unless this was one of those 'Everyone who's in this store is an employee whether they have a uniform on or not except for me' things.

She should have suddenly developed a deep voice and laughed maniacally after saying the price. Then the customer would be freaked out instead.

...or she'd be hauled off in a straight jacket. Either/Or.

Of course it's Satan's tea. That's why you have to boil the hell out of it.

I confess, that made me laugh. :P

My smokes are currently $7.16.... w/o the 50 cent coupon I have a fistful of.

And I don't know about tea, but I would totally drink a coffee called "Devil's Brew."

I had a friend of mine as a customer a while back and the total for the fish he got was $6.65, he was upset because it wasn't $6.66. "One more penny and it would've been awesome." I told him he might have better luck next time.

...total for the fish he got was $6.65, he was upset because it wasn't $6.66.

He needs a (very) light thumb on the scales. ...unless it's catfish...

[MoonCat]

Just for the hell of it (ha!) let's assume it did say "Satan" on there. SO WHAT??

Honestly these people just make me want to scream.

Same here. It sounds like it would be proper coffee (ie. hot as Hell. )

If coffee doesn't scald your mouth with the first few drinks, it's too cold.

Now, would anyone like a cup of the coffee I just brewed?

[AmbrosiaWriter]

I can't remember where I read it, but it was somewhere on the Internet.

Women in a NYC subway station: See! All New Yorkers, they're all heathens. Evil, evil, shameless heathens. They have a place called Satan Island!
New Yorker: Yeah. We all sold our souls so we could read.

Also, in response to "it's too cold if it doesn't scald your mouth" - No thanks. I like to actually taste the beverage I'm drinking.

A local coffee house chain once had t-shirts that said "Coffee. The Devil's Brew. Black as night, sweet as sin, and hot as hell" If I see one of those again, I'm going to have to buy one.
