Wine Cretins
I'm in a Safeway that was just remodeled (apparently they're doing the same look at Vons in Southern California) standing in the wine section when this sweet elderly lady asked me if I could help her find the Dubunet (sp?) apparently the clerks didn't know where it was either. So I look around and as I find it her husband appears. So I hand it to him. They were both very appreciative, which led to the following exchange:
Old Man: You should try this really great wine that's really cheap.
Me: [Don't go there old man. Don't recommend Charles Shaw] Really? What is it?
OM: Well, it's this wine that Trader Joes
Me: [Oh Christ. Here we go]
OM: either bought the winery or got some special deal... I think it's called "Charlie Shaw"
Me: ["Charlie???] Oh yes. Charles Shaw.
OM: That's it. Charles Shaw. Sure is good.
Me: [Sawdust probably tastes good to you old man] I'll have to try it. Thanks.
