agh. some people are quite silly.
- a dialogue from the korean grocer, the product in question www.amazon.com/Oroshi-Shoga-ginger-paste-tube/
- the couple behind me in line: What do we use this for?
- the cashier: What do you mean?
- couple: This ginger we are buying. How do you use it?
- cashier: Why are you buying something if you don't know how to use?
- couple: We love ginger. Are we supposed to put it on sushi?
- me: It's just ground ginger in a tube, you use it as you would normal ginger. It's not the kind you use for sushi.
- couple: Ok, but what food do you use the ginger on?
- me: Fish, meat, anything.
- cashier to other worker: Can you answer their question?
- other worker: It's ginger that is convenient because it is already ground up. Sometimes I mix it with soy sauce.
- cashier: Ah, I had no idea. I've never used this before. (it's a japanese product, not a korean one)
- couple: Oh, soy sauce. The way you use ginger is you mix it with soy sauce. Let's take this ginger home and mix it with soy sauce.
