Snippets
Me [having just grabbed a 6-pack from the cooler]: "Could you exchange two of these for the ones you have on ice?  They're not very cold."
Random customer: "Exchange em all!  Exchange em all."
Me: "Well, I'm not going to drink them all right now."
Random customer: "Imma drink em with you.  Imma get two more six-packs and meet you outside."Woman in elevator with me, to man in elevator with me: "I was hoping to catch up with you!  I want to yell at you."
Man: "Oh?"
Woman: "I saw you walk across 15th street on your cell phone without even looking!  There was a cab coming, you know.  You're lucky you didn't get hit!"
Man: "S'alright."
Woman: "No it's not alright!  You have to be more careful."
Man: "S'alright."
Woman: "Tsk. You're too young!"
Man: "My sister gave her life for this country, so if I go... I don't mind."
Woman: "You have to be more careful."
Man: [getting off elevator] "You take care, ma'am."
Woman: "No, you take care!  Hahaha."Me: "Could I get a chicken kabob?"
Vendor: "You want it on a pita?"
Me: "Yes, please."
Vendor: "You want onions? tomatoes? lettuce?"
Me: "All of that.  And do you have, like, white sauce?"
Vendor: "I don't have like white sauce, I have white sauce."
Me: "Uh, heh, okay then.  Could I have some?"
Vendor: "Those other guys, who have white sauce in a bottle like this? [grabs squeeze bottle of hot sauce].  That's just mayonnaise."
Me: "Oh yeah?"
Vendor: "They don't have real white sauce.  They don't know how to make it.  They're not Greek like me.  See?  Look at this [opens metal cover]."
Me: "That looks great.  Lots of cucumber."
