"How are you today?" a smiling young man asked me as I pushed my cart down an aisle of an unfamiliar grocery store.
"Good, thanks," I said and then paused. I looked at my cart, full of everything on the list with the exception of a single item. "Can you tell me where the rice is?"
"No, no, I cannot," he answered, still smiling.
I frowned and shrugged. "Oh, well," I replied, "I guess I'll find it." I trolled around a bit more. Rounding a corner and finally spotting the rice, I saw that the guy was there, too.
"Here it is!" he said.
"There it is!" I agreed and, my shopping complete, I headed for the checkout.
