Wal-Mart Deli fun...

The other day I was at the deli at Wal-Mart getting some lunchmeat...ham & turkey. The girl working there asked what I wanted...black forest ham...and how much...three-fourths of a pound (because 1/2 a pound is not enough but a full pound sometimes goes to waste before we eat it all). She got the ham and then asked me "did you say four slices?" and I said, "No, THREE-FOURTHS of a pound." So she slices some then puts it on the scale...it weighs 0.30 on the scale and she looks at me and says, "Is that enough?".... I said, "No, that's only a third of a pound, I need three-fourths". She still looked confused, so I said, "It will say 0.75 on the scale". She still looked confused but sliced some more until it was enough. I never knew 3/4 was such a hard concept!
