A woman enters Rasta Nym s grocery store | K |
Customers are buying what they want | L |
She asks him Natty Dread how much does a bun and cheese cost | M |
Rasta Nym doesn t answer her | N |
He ignores her and serves the other customers | A |
The woman asks him again Natty Dread how much does a bun and cheese cost | M |
Rasta Nym still doesn t answer her | N |
He continues serving the other customers | A |
This angers the woman because she can t wait | G |
So she shouts at him Natty Dread don t you hear me asking the price of a bun and cheese | A |
The woman is behaving like an ill bred person | J |
Rasta Nym replies calmly Doesn t Rasta sound better to you than Natty Dread | H |
The customers burst out laughing | O |
And the woman leaves the grocery store | K |
