This is a long-standing Philippino customer that I have known for a while.
Me : "Here's your prescription Mrs G. Is there anything else?"
Cust: " Yes. Have you got sink?"
M; "Yes, um , why , um, do you need to wash your hands, or a drink?"
C: " I want buy sink." (She looks at me as if I've lost my marbles.)
M: "You want to buy a sink?" (Thinking to myself, oh its sad when their marbles start to go.)
C: "Yes, want buy sink. Get here before, buy more sink. You sell sink, I buy sink." (Looking at me now as if I am a bit slow.)
M: " Ah, yes. Do you usually buy the zinc tablets or the zinc powder?" (Thinking to myself that it is indeed sad that my mind has started to go.)
