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 #82, Big Boss is a Big Fan

At Bendigo FM

At Bendigo, locals like to shop early, even before official opening hour. That is why many stallholders, including myself try to be all set up early. A handful of customers have come to buy PM early including a nicely dressed young woman who was on her way to work.

Me: Hi, have you had this before?

YL: No but my boss sent me. She said I should get the beetroot one.

Me: They are all made with beetroot. (I go through the list of all six varieties to which she looked more confused)

YL: Oh gee, I don’t know. Do you have the one kilo bags?

Me: Yes, I do, but that’s only on order. If you order now, I can bring it next market day. I have a market special that might interest you, all six flavours, one is free (I point to the bright pink box)

YL: Oh yes, that would do! I’ll take one for me please. And I’ll tell my boss you’re here!

Me: Wonderful! Thank you so much!

A while later, her boss Tania came herself.

Tania: I sent my staff over earlier and she came back to report that yes, you were here!

Me: That’s great!

Tania: I’ll take a large bag of my favorite Cinnamon and one of the Pear & Pistachio and 2 of these market specials. And I’d like to order the one kilo bag of the Cinnamon, I’ll have it picked up next month.

Me: No problem! (I took down her details, asked for a pic which she happily agrees to)

Tania:  I love it, I tell everyone at work about it. They should all get Pink Muesli!

Me: Thank you so much Tania, you will be my next Pink Tale! (we share lolz)

Tania obliges with a big happy smile toting her pink bag full of pink goodness.

Tania is so in the pink?
