near a square

on the phone...

me:  'what time do you open?'

store assistant:  '10 a.m., ma'am...'

me:  '10?  where are you in farmer's?'

SA:  'near araneta, ma'am...'

me:  'near araneta, as in, across araneta coliseum?'

SA:  'we're near araneta, ma'am...'

me:  'okay...  what i want to know is whether you're across araneta coliseum...'

SA:  'just near araneta, ma'am...'

me:  'so you are not across araneta coliseum?  as in, you're not opposite?'

SA:  'we're near, ma'am...'

me:  'yup...  but what do you mean 'near'?  so farmer's is square, where are you in the square?  the side facing araneta coliseum?  the side facing gateway?  the side facing telus?'

SA:  'we have only one store here, ma'am...  along the row of jollibee...'

me:  'hmmm...  i don't really know the stores there...  never mind...  thanks...  i'll just find you...'

postscript:

i didn't go to farmer's anymore... i just went to their gateway branch...
