Thank goodness for Twitter.
James Dator, a journalist for sports site SBNation.com, went grocery shopping Saturday night when he saw a man arguing with the customer service desk. Fortunately for us, he took to Twitter to give this detailed play-by-play.
A very confused man is attempting to return his open diced butternut squash because he thought it was a giant box of cubed cheese.

I can’t believe this. They’re saying he can’t because it’s open. He’s saying it wasn’t clearly labeled.

There’s a GIANT label that says butternut squash

They’ve agreed to refund his money. Now he’s demanding they honor 2 pounds of cubed cheese for $2.97 as if it was priced like squash

“Sir we don’t have 2 pound bags of cubed cheese”
“I have guests waiting!”

Then, with perfect comedic timing . . .
Oh god an employee trying to be helpful half heard the conversation and retrieved a whole butternut squash and it’s a lot worse now

“I DON’T WANT RABBIT FOOD I JUST NEED SOME GOTDANG CHEESE!!!”

He’s leaving without the cheese and took the squash with him.
