    Default The American Education system has failed us yet again v. Home Depot Cashier

    So, I'm in the checkout line picking up some blinds, two drill-bit driver extensions, and a brass water nozzle adapter for my hose so that I could water the plants. No biggie, right?

    Well, there isn't a label on the brass water nozzle, so our conversation goes like this:

    cashier - "How exactly would you describe this item so that I can search for it in our system?"

    me - "Brass water nozzle..."

    Now, my Home Depot has a screen pointed at the customer so that you can see exactly what the cashier is ringing up and/or what she might be searching for in her system.

    Under "item description to search for" I see her type this in: brass nazal

    I shit you not! N-A-Z-A-L ... Of course, the search returned no items.

    Once again, our school systems have failed us. I mean, NAZAL? What the fuck?

    If you knew me, you'd know that my accent isn't very southern given that I grew up in Columbus, GA...
