Say What?

So, I go into my local Checkers and ask for the health food section.  After getting a puzzled look, I try asking for pumpkin seeds.  No?  Maybe that's too obscure.  Sunflower seeds?  I see the lightbulb go on, and follow the shop assistant to...the gardening section, where she proudly shows me the range of Starke Ayres seeds.

(This type of conversation is not limited to Mthatha though.  A few years ago, Bob went into Builders Warehouse with a full bladder.  He asked where the toilets were, and he was directed to Aisle 9. You've guessed it - the sanitaryware section)
