Jold: “Yeah, aisle two. Top shelf.”
Customer: “Nice one.”
[Customer grabs the packet and walks to the counter.]
Customer: “How much?”
Jold: “£2.00.”
Customer: “Bit expensive, innit?”
Jold: “Inflation, man. Everything’s expensive now.”
Customer: “Fair enough.”
[Customer places £2 on the counter.]
Jold: “Cheers.”
Customer: “You’re Jold, right? The shop guy?”
Jold: “Yeah. Just Jold.”
Customer: “Cool. My sister’s obsessed with your girlfriend. Nipona S. She’s everywhere.”
Jold: “Yeah… she’s doing well.”
Customer: “You’re lucky, bro.”
Jold: “I hear that a lot.”
Customer: “Anyway, have a good one.”
Jold: “You too.”
