Customer Classics

This column is just a bit of fun, where we'll be telling you about funny, strange and bizarre requests from you, our customers. Sometimes when we're very busy, stressed and tired these little nuggets keep us going.

Sooooooo…….from the top.

A lady visiting from Liverpool, perusing the vegetables one Saturday afternoon, asked a member of staff if a certain vegetable was a BUTTERKNOB. We think she meant to say butternut squash. The staff member said it sounded like a Freudian slip, owing to the shape of said item. Oohh, everybody had a good ol' laugh.

Sometimes we get some very strange requests and our resourceful staff members often come up with good and clever solutions!!

Phone rings-- "Good Morning, Eighth Day"
Customer-- "Hello have you got any natural food colouring?"
Reply-- "No, sorry. What did you want It for?"
Customer-- "To dye the hay on the farm red to stop people stealing it from the horses."
Reply-- "You could boil up some beetroot and spray the hay with the juice which is a natural food colour and won't harm the horses!"
Customer--"Brilliant idea! Thanks a lot"

More strange requests for a health food shop……..
Umbrellas, banana flavoured mini weetabix, sprite.
Now that's healthy eating!


Keep them coming, we love 'em!!!
