I was waiting patiently at the billing counter of the grocery store. The guy behind the counter was a bit slow and I was getting a trifle vexed. When I saw him struggling with the billing software by entering "COLLY" and looking for a match when the item he was billing was a Cauliflower, I felt obligated to add a helpful "Try C.A.U.LI.."
The man shook his head and thought furiously. Finally he changed it to "COLY" and sure enough, he got a match, "COLY FLOWER".
There's got to be a "Moral of the Story" in here somewhere :). Aren't we all forced to do dumb things at our workplace because there's no other option to make things work?
Cheers,
Prashanth.

hahahahaha!
yes and i totally understand your last sentence.
Trippy Max =)) I have been in the shoes with one leg in urs and one leg in his :) I totally understand both sides.
What grocery requires cashiers to spell out items to prepare the bill? Seems very inefficient (should use barcodes or item numbers for everything). Anyway, this reminds me of "gopi manchurian" and "boori sabji".
moral of the story is.. a laugh at our own idiosyncrasies is important!
N since, we are avid readers of your blog.. a post in the middle with no moral inclined is also refreshing to see!!!

I agree with Divster, a blog with no moral is refreshing.
