Close encounters with real life customers

“With so many funny, endearing and immensely encouraging stories and quotes from customers, I thought I’d start a collection and share them here to warm the heart. The photos are different ways I’ve prepared Pink Muesli plus some contributions from real life customers, market scenes, production photos, etc. (Note: Reviews/Comments welcome here)

I’m calling this PINK TALES. Enjoy!”  – Marita (founder/producer)

Pink Tale #17, Hates Beetroot Hates Muesli

At Clunes FM

Two nicely dressed young women stop to look at the pink.
Me: Have a taste of the pink stuff?
NDYW1: Oooh yes please! (NDYW2 looks wary but takes a spoon anyway)
NDYW2: Ummm yum! (they taste all three varieties) What is it?
Me: It’s beetroot muesli. The pink is from the natural juices of the beetroot. Not a gimmick.
NDYW2 (gets a flyer, reads through the list of products) Ooh dark cacao puffs with strawberries! I’ll have that one!
Me: That’s not till next year.
NDYW2: I don’t care, I’ll wait.
NDYW1: We’ll think about it (they walk off with the flyer)
They come back later.
Me: Hey, you’re back!
NDYW1: Yes, we’d like a big bag of the caramel crunch and a small bag of the ginger please.
(I hand them their purchase.)
NDYW2: You know, I don’t even like beetroot, in fact, I HATE beetroot. No, I DETEST it. When I see it in a restaurant, I avoid it like the plague! Also, I don’t even eat muesli! But look what you got me to do! (we all share lolz)
Me: Wow how wonderful! Thank you for sharing that! Good on you for having an open mind! Thank you so much. Enjoy!
Chorus: We will.

I am stunned but ecstatic.
