my friend works at a "metaphysical supply store". They aren't into it themselves, but it's a decent job. But sometimes they share customer stories and it's so ???
Twice within a week they had customers coming in looking for Borax. Ya know, the washing detergent stuff. First person said they needed it for a "detox bath" the second person said their obgyn said it's perfectly fine to bath in to balance her ph. Like??? Borax???
anyways, my version of that today is someone came in and looked like she was in a hurry. she came up to me, while I am filling bread, and asks if we sell thieves essential oil. i told her I wasn't sure but I would walk her over to where we have some essential oils. we get there and we don't have what she needs and she asks "Do you know which of these essential oils are good for a sore throat?" and I wanted to die on the spot. i wanted to tell her 1.) i am literally a grocery store baker, what do I know but also 2.) "the cough and cold medicine is two aisles away :)"
but I was kinda just dumbfounded and didn't have the energy to start an issue so I just told her I didn't know and walked away
