In the world of Wal-Mart

The last two times I've bought lettuce at Wal-Mart, the checker did not know that what I was buying was red leaf or romaine lettuce.  I am guessing that the average Wal-Mart shopper's diet is not exactly heavy on vegetables and salads.  (a look at the rear ends of many Wal-Mart shoppers would of course tend to give the same impression)

Even sadder and funnier; one time, the "cheat sheet" used by the checker was in grey scale instead of color, so they were trying to match lettuce (in very real color) with a blob of grey that might as well have been garlic mashed potatoes.  I'm thinking that somebody's cost saving method went awry with that one.
