Comments on: #354 – Orange (54 Comments) http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2007/10/12/354-orange/ new adventures every monday through friday Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:51:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Rita http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2007/10/12/354-orange/comment-page-2/#comment-81374 Rita Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:18:20 +0000 http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2007/10/12/354-orange/#comment-81374 As a deli worker, the fact that there's both white and yellow American annoys me to no end. Some customers seem to have gotten it into their mind that white is somehow fancier and superior to yellow American cheese. One time we were out of white and a customer asked for it. I told her we didn't have any more and that we did have yellow, they were pretty much the same and she could sample it if she wanted to. She acted like I insulted her mother. She began lecturing me about how she would never buy yellow because it was disgusting. I was just like "okay, whatever lady. I don't care that much about your cheese problems." On the flipside, we have the parents who only want the yellow American cheese because their little brats won't eat anything else and heaven forbid they force precious junior to eat something that isn't a color he approves of! Yes, I'm cranky. :P You would be too if you had to deal with this every day. As a deli worker, the fact that there’s both white and yellow American annoys me to no end.

This is America - We have immigrants from literally every nation on the planet, and they *all* want the taste of home. If there's a cheese produced and sold commercially anywhere in the world, we have it. If we don't produce a domestic version of it, we import it. We even have a grey market in Mexican farmer's cheese - mom-n-pop cheese makers selling their home-made product at flea markets and farmer's markets. I can get more different kinds of cheese from the local grocery stores than you can shake a stick at, and they're not even specialty shops! Heh!
