Does it look like I work here?
Today, I was lifting a banana from a supermarket shelf when another shopper spoke to me.
"Excuse me", she said, "can you tell me what the shelf life is on these pineapples? I have guests coming round on Thursday..."
Not wanting to embarass her by highlighting her mistake, I thought it would be kinder to pretend I worked there and give pineapple advice.
"This one would be fine for Thursday" I replied, "but that one would have to be left in the sun for a couple of days to soften up".
She thanked me for my help and I continued shopping.
