This tale is too true not to share.
At Eynesbury FM
A small group of fit senior shoppers were slowly working their way from stall to stall, one gentleman would break away from time to time to look at other stalls. He came over a few times to check out the products without stopping for a sample stating “It’s too healthy for me!” Finally, the time has come for the group to stop at my stall, him included.
Me: Ahh, you brought everyone else with you. You sure it’s not too healthy? (with a wink; I hand them all samples, to which they all nod in surprised appreciation)
Gentleman: It’s not even fried!
Me: Yet it’s crispy!
Gentleman’s Wife: Ooh that is delicious! So they’re all made with beetroot are they?
Me: Yes, over 40% and slowly dehydrated so it’s raw muesli. I’m the only vegetable muesli maker in the country.
Another Gentleman’s Wife: Amazing, truly original, I’ve never heard of anything like this before! I’ll have the Berries one please, I like that the best. Small bag to start with.
Gentleman’s Wife: We’ll have the Ginger one, just a small bag too please.
Gentleman: We’ll have a large bag, there’s two of us, the small bag won’t be enough.
Me: Wow, thank you for being willing to try “too healthy” stuff! (I hand them their purchase)
Another Gentleman’s Wife: The proof is in the taste isn’t it? Thank you! (then they walk off)
Gentleman: If I start joining the marathon I have you to blame! (He shouts from afar laughing)
Me: I’ll take it! (I shout back lol!)
Gentleman’s in the pink ?
