CousCous Confusion


Last night, I dropped by SM Supermarket in Cubao to buy CousCous for Mark. The last time he requested me to bring CousCous, I was able to get a few boxes at SM Supermarket in Megamall, so I figured they'd have it in Cubao, too.

So, I walked up to the guy who was refilling the shelves and our conversation went:

ME: Excuse me, meron po ba kayong CousCous?
HIM: Meron, sir! Dito po tayo sa shelf number 23.

He accompanies me to the shelf. When we get there, what do I see?

Steel wool and sponges.

STEEL WOOL AND SPONGES!!!

Breathing a sigh of frustration, I asked what these were.

ME: Uhm, ano 'to?
HIM: Pang-kuskos, sir!

Apparently, they don't know what CousCous is in Cubao.

Sheesh!
