Do you see what I see?


Dropped into the local supermarket to buy a few ingredients for a simple salad last week (cucumber, snow peas, mixed greens etc.).

Checkout guy put the radishes through as 'beetroots'.

Me: "Um... they're not beetroots ..."
Checkout-Guy: "... huh??... What are they then?"

Today I went to buy more vegies. Checkout girl had some difficulty identifying the radishes and made a match based on colour, I guess.

Me: "Um, excuse me ... they're not rhubarb!"
Checkout-Girl: "... oh ... ok ...(then after a long pause)..... they're turnips, right?"
