My
husband told me about a wine shop near his place of work that had absinthe on
its shelves. Today I got there to take a
look. After looking around, I did not
see it so I went to talk to the sales man and this is how the conversation
went:
Me: Excuse me, do you have any absinthe?
Sales
man: Yes, it is over here – goes to a shelf, looks around and says – Oh, I
think I sold my last bottle.
Me:
Oh. What brand is it?
S.m.
(Surprised): Brand? It’s the only one
that exists.
Me:
(Puzzled look) There are about 50 brands of absinthe.
S.m:
Oh, really? This one comes in a slim
bottle and it’s green.
Me,
thinking to myself: "That is not much help."
S.m.
# 2, joining the conversation: We have the one that sells the most.
Me,
thinking to myself: "It’s no wonder it
sells well, it’s the only one you have."
S.m.
# 1: It’s from Catalonia, that’s all I know.
Me:
Well, thank you very much for your help.
Bye.
Note
to self, living the shop: Do not come back here for absinthe.
