In the supermarket tonight two Safeway employees entered our aisle and one showed the other the location of a particular product. The one who had been shown the location thanked the other and then asked for more assistance:

SPOTD: Do you know where the barley sugar is?

Staff 2 (confused by the reference to the item in singular form): The barley sugar?

SPOTD: I looked with all the other sugars and I couldn’t find it.

Staff 2 (realising what they were asking for): Do you mean barley sugars?

SPOTD: Maybe it’s in health food? I’ll go look there.

And off wandered the SPOTD leaving the other staff member and us quietly giggling.
