"A chicken is an animal. Therefore it’s not vegetarian.

Worked in a vitamin store in college and was explaining to someone that vitamin D is extracted from lanolin in sheep’s wool, so it depended on if you were vegan or not.

And they hit me with fish and birds are not animals.

The specific thing she said: “What about a chicken? It’s not an animal, it’s a fowl!”

My assistant manager told her something like, “Oh well remember the 20 questions game? Is it animal, mineral, or vegetable? A chicken isn’t an a mineral or vegetable.”

They left in a huff and made huge complaints about us. Me in particular because I couldn’t believe how stupid they were (and I have no poker face).

I was not/am not cut out for retail."
