It seems that the longer days are making some of the punters even more dopey.
I honestly believe that some of my customers had their common sense removed at birth.
This is a genuine conversation that happened this week regarding a pair of children’s pyjamas:
“What’s the biggest size you have in these?” asked the lady.
“Eleven to Twelve, love”. I replied.
Apparently unable to understand my clearly cryptic response and in a slightly higher tone she asked again.
“What’s the biggest size you have in these?”
“Eleven to Twelve, love”.
“So eleven to twelve is the biggest size you have?”
“Yes!” I blurted out incredulously.
She paused for a second and then asked:
“Got any for a thirteen-year-old?”
This is what I’m up against.
That’s this week’s report from Pete the Market Trader. The man in the street. Literally.
