Ello There!

This happened a while back and I just remembered, it was pretty funny. I will refer to another co-worker in this story as 'T-Bear.'

Setting: I am putting vegetables on a customer's sandwich...

Lady: "Ello there!" (she says very cheerfully)

Me: (Thinking she said 'ello' instead of 'hello' because she is just in a cheerful mood, so I in return say;)
"Well ello! what can I get for you?" (in a similar, cheerful way)

Lady: "Well, I would like some let-us, and to-mot-oes..."

Me: (Sort of 'mimicking' her cheerfulness;) "All-right" (and I begin to put on what she asks for.)

T-Bear: (At cash register) "So, where are you from? I noticed you have and accent..."

Me: (Oops! Just realizing that she wasn't just being cheerful...)
