    No native English speaker would say “do these get any bigger” rather than “…come any bigger”

    So I’m assuming the shopper was a non-native speaker and the shelf stacker was JUST HORRIBLY RACIST OH MY GOD IM SO ANGRY I’M GOING TO WRITE A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO SOMEONE

    Edit - apparently I forgot that Americans are fucking retarded 😂😂😂

      Yes, every native English speaking Walmart shopper are perfectly fluent, masters of the linguistic arts. They are known throughout the Americas to be amongst the classiest and highest educated group of shoppers known to man. Even the ones known to procreate with their sisters are likely to have a degree. Likely, a masters. These are stats and known facts of the highly esteemed shoppers of Walmart

      I take it you haven’t had the opportunity to meet anyone that grew up on the southern USA.

      “Get” would be absolutely be colloquial for what you said.

      Then the punchline would have been “no they don’t cum at all, THEY’RE DEAD, you sick pervert.”

      As someone whose had the priviledge working both in a call centre & retail for several years… you’re wrong.

      Most is local colloquialisms, where regions sometimes substitute words or phrases for others.

      And then there’s the “native English speakers” that are straight up idiots, and butchering the language constantly…

      The amount of South Londoners that say “arced” instead of “asked” is too damn high.

      I’m a native speaker and not an American, but I didnt find this weird. I would probably say “do you have any bigger ones” not ask about the turkey cum.
