So this happened just last week
I was making a salad went to the store and was in the checkout line
The young woman cashier looks at me and says 'what's this?'
I say, 'it's fennel'
I didn't mind fennel is hardly an ordinary everyday vegetable
Then she holds up a bulb of garlic and asks, 'is this an onion?'
"no, it's garlic". okay, that was starting to seem a little odd, but possible
Then with a completely befuddled and bewildered look on her face she holds up a produce bag of loose veggies
I shirt you not, this actually happened. I look at her for like 5 full seconds then say, 'They're carrots'
What the fork?!
She was young and I don't know how old she was, but how does a person reach whatever age she was and not know what a forking carrot looks like???
If you've ever seen a Bugs Bunny cartoon you know what a carrot looks like!
