Right, a blue package, yellow lettering... there's nothing like that here. *sigh* Fine, I'll go find an employee and ask them..."
Mrs. Dallas and I joke about how it's impossible for either of us to get to a trip to the store without calling home. For us it's more like "They didn't have X... do you want a different brand, or nothing?" or "Y is on sale... should we stock up?" or "Did you check out yet? Good, I left something off the list . . . "

Either one of us is just as likely to use any of these as the other one.
