Pink Tale #29, They Know
At Substation Newport FM
Young hipster couple approaches PM.
YHC1: Oh wow beetroot! Who woulda thought? Are you new here? I’ve never seen you here before.
Me: Yes, this is my first time here. (I hand them samples)
YHC2: Ummm that is so good! So did you dehydrate the beetroot?
Me: Yes, I dehydrate raw organic beetroot I get from that man there (I point to Dave of Spring Creek Organics) with all these beautiful ingredients (I point to the ingredient list), and as you know beetroot stains everything, the juice is absorbed by them all, hence the pink!
YHC1: Very clever! I make my own muesli, just with oats and seeds, nothing like this.
Me: You can sprinkle it on top to add more nutrients to your meal.
YHC1: Yes, I was thinking about that.
YHC2: Should we get some? Which one did you like best?
YHC1: Difficult to choose. (They look over the ingredient lists and quietly discuss among themselves. In the meantime, I serve a few other people. After some time, they finally announce their decision.)
YHC1: We get a large bag of the Christmas Special please.
Me: Excellent choice. Here you go. (I hand them their purchase)
YHC2: Will you be here next month?
Me: Yes, I will.
YHCchorus: Great! We’ll see you next month!
Me: Fantastic! Thank you so much!
They’re in the pink!
