Conversation with a clerk

- Do you have ice cream?
- Yes over there - in the back.
- No, no, I mean the small ones, those babies you hold in your hand and eat straight away?
- No they haven’t arrived yet.
- Arrived yet or you don’t have them?
- Yes.
(Quiet yet very judging gaze from me)
- So you have them - but they’ve just run out of your store-supply, yes?
- We have package ice cream.
- I know. I saw that. But I want to eat one now. It’s sunny outside! And I’m asking if you have those puppies?
- We have lot of different package-ice-cream-flavors in the back.
(Back to gaze)
