Weekend Tidbits

Here's the most awkward conversation I participated in over the weekend:

On Saturday, I had lunch with a friend. I noticed that the soups of the day weren't posted anywhere, so I approached the woman working behind the counter.

Me: Do you have soup today?

Female Employee: Yes.

I waited because surely she would understand that wasn't enough of an answer. She didn't.

Me: Could you tell me what they are?

Did she really think that I just wanted to know that there was soup? Next time I visit this particular establishment, I'm going to order a soup and sandwich combo -- without specifying which soup or salad. It seems that the details are getting in the way.

Here's the most awkward conversation I witnessed over the weekend:

On Sunday, I went to pick up some photos at the One Hour Photo Booth at Walgreen's. (Please keep in mind that I visited the ONE HOUR Photo Booth.) A woman and her daughter were in front of me in line.

Walgreen's Photo Lady: When would you like these back?

Mom: When can I have them back?

Walgreen's: We can have them ready in an hour.

Mom (to her daughter): Wow, can you believe that? Only an hour? That's so fast.

Who would ever guess that the One Hour Photo Booth could have pictures back in an hour? And they say truth in advertising is dead ...
