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)

Beets Muesli
Pink Tale #19, Pink Sign Beckons

At Bendigo FM

Mature age lady: I wasn’t going to stop but I saw your sign from the road. It had a beetroot in it and I said to myself, this has got to be good!
Me: Wow, thanks for stopping by. Here, have a taste. (I hand her a tasting spoon)
MAL: I love beetroot, it’s so good for you. (takes in a spoonful) Ummmm, delicious!
Me: Taste the other one. (I hand her a second spoon)
MAL: Oh wow, I love that ginger!
Me: You can have it as a garnish for your desserts or salads, aside of course from having it for breakfast.
MAL: Oh what a good idea! Do you make it yourself?
Me: Yes. I am the chief peeler, chief bottle washer, COO, CEO, CMO. All the chiefs with no Indians. (we share lolz)
MAL: How come I never saw you before today?
Me: This is my first time here and I will be back next month.
MAL: Fantastic! I’ll have one of each please.
Me: Great! Thank you so much!

Note: A few customers have indeed bought because they saw my big sign from the road and were intrigued. Thank you market manager for putting me in this slot!
