The other day, I was at the Fotofast store to get prints from my digital camera for the first time. The last time I had prints done was way back in 2001 when we didn’t have a digital camera. At the counter I saw a couple getting their photos downloaded onto the PC first. I hadn’t brought my USB cable along so I wondered if I could borrow theirs.
I informed the salesgirl at the counter that I didn’t have a USB cable.
Salesgirl: Cheep ahe na?
Me: (Yeah right I know it is cheap to get prints at Fotofast.) Majhya kade USB cable nahiye.
Salesgirl: Ho kalale. PaN cheep ahe na?
Me: I know you need to endorse your shop and all that with the competition increasing but I have a problem here. *gawking like I landed from Jupiter*
Salesgirl:
Me: Oh no no, my 512 memory card was not really cheap. And I don’t want to buy one more from you even if you say it is cheap. *Still gawking*
Finally the irate salesgirl took me to the Fujifilm kiosk and showed me the slot for the memory card.
Me: Ohhhhhhhhh Chip!
The salesgirl looked at me as if I was a cavewoman.
Sorry folks, I didn't translate the conversation to English because it would have killed the joke.

Hello!!
Having stayed in Gujarat for four years, I can definitely understand!
Well done Kirthi, this was a cheep take of yours on the poor salesgirl...She should have been the one writing this blog on how stupid her customers are :P
same difference when a non-tamil speaking person enters a shop in some place in Tamil Nadu, I guess this happens all over the country probably where people do not understand the languages others speak but do not want to tolerate this indifference too..
Well written, anyways, Kirthi..
Vinod,
Ahh you r giving too much credit to that salesgirl!
Nikhil,
Haha! I've read some of ur posts on such incidents :)
Anony,
Hello! That is so damn mean!
Bee,
I nearly thought it was my friend "bee"...but she seldom comments on this url. Well it is not about not being able to understand their language per se because I understand Marathi. I can't understand English spoken with a Marathi accent :)
Thanks for dropping by!
