Lets have a bit of fun, the forum is getting a bit heavy these days

I don't have a grocery store story, but I do have a store story. I was 16 and had my first part time job at Ames. (Ames is a defunct discount store, similar to Walmart). They had a garden shop out back. Usually, Lefty worked the 2-6 shift. He was Italian and had a reputation of being a womanizer. On this day, the manager told me to take charge of the garden shop. Lefty had just called in, and was kind of vague about why he wasn't coming in. Wow. I was all by myself 'in charge'. The only thing I knew about gardening is that I had to cut the grass at home. About 5PM, this nice woman came in and asked "where's Vigoro".(Vigoro is a famous brand of fertilizer) But to me, not knowing anything about fertilizer, "Vigoro" kind of sounded Italian. At 6PM, the manager came out to check the register. I told him that a woman came in asking for Lefty. The managers eyes brightened, like he was getting a juicy tidbit. He wanted to know all about it. I told him about the woman asking"where's Vigoro", and about how I told her that "Vigoro was off today, but he'd be back tomorrow." For some reason, the manager fell down on one knee, laughing.
