Napa & Savoy A Cabbage Marketing Strategy

Square

The Market in the Twitter building has a great, if not overpriced, organic produce section including the Napa or savoy cabbage that I like.

Loved as the Civic Center farmer’s market is, it can be a bit hit and miss in the cabbage department, so I always stop by The Market on my way home.

This morning, there are two checkout folks up at the registers but no customers other than me. The guy rings me up but the other clerk asks me, “Would you like me to put these into your bag?” I hesitate as I always bag my own stuff. Before I can say yes please, she says, “Alright, grumpy” as she starts putting the thinks in my bag.

Both surprised and bemused, I ask her, “Did you just say alright grumpy?” and they both start laughing, she shaking her head no, the guy has his hand over his mouth trying to suppress his laughter.

On my way out I say to them, “I think we three have just come up with a new marketing strategy, instant customer character assessments.

Some will be pleased, some not so much.
