Customer conversations:
"Do you have any 'cam-mow-millie'?"
(Chamomile sounds like: "cam-ma-mill" I can't tell you how long I looked for this item, because the customer swore they bought it from us before!)
"I am looking for 'in-chin-a-sea-yah'
(Also heard as 'in-china-see-ya'). Echinacea Sounds like: "ek-kin-nay-shaw")
"My Dr. wants me to take 'she-laid' ('shell-laid' too!) Magnesium"
(The word is:"Chelated" sounds like "key-late-ed")
"I am looking for 'glue-gross-a-mine', my friend is recommending it for my knee!"
(Glucosamine Sulfate-I guess 'glue' might work..."glue-kos-a-mean")
"I don't remember for sure what the name is, but I think it's 'jin-co bill-boa' do you carry this?"
(No, but we do carry Ginkgo Biloba to help with memory!)
"My friend told me you carry 'glue-gull' for cholesterol."
(The word should sound more like: 'Goo-gull'; the correct spelling being 'Guggul')
"I am looking for 'letch-a-thin' granules (sometimes also pronounced as 'leech-a-thin', or 'leak-a-thin') to put into my smoothies"
(I laugh at this one; Lecithin-the pronunciation sounds like: 'less-a-thin')
"I am looking for 'collar-hah' (also heard as 'cholera'--a disease you wouldn't want!), my Dr. says I should have this everyday!"
(It's difficult to keep a straight face with this one; the word is Chlorella; 'klor-elle-ah')
"I just came from the eye Dr. and he suggested I take 'glutton' (sometimes also pronounced as 'gluten' and 'glue-teen') for my eyes!"
('Lutein'-sounds like: 'lou-teen.' I really should write a book!)
"Dr. Oz was just on today talking about 'ucky' (also heard pronounced 'aw-key'& 'ace-y') for weight-loss, do you have it?"
(Acai: sounds like 'ah-sigh-e')
"Dr. Oz was on today talking about 'kin-d-wah' (also pronounced 'kin-d-ah' 'kween-o-wah' 'kino-ah' 'queen-know-hah'), I understand it's really good!" (Quinoa-sounds like 'keen-wah')
"Tar-ee (yes, even MY name isn't immune!) my mom has been using 'calm-fart' (also heard as 'clam-fart' & 'calm-fort'--really!) and I'd like to get some more for her while I'm here."
(Calms Forte' is used for relaxation & sleep. Pronounced as 'fore-tay'. 'Clam-fart'...really!!!)
