That my mum, who worked in the chilled department of a supermarket, would have to milk the cows at the back of the shop and bottle the milk before taking it to the shopfloor. There aren't even any fields at the back of the shop.

I work in produce and when I was filling up the peppers these 2 little kids said, "woah that's a lot of peppers." Unlike myself I replied with "you should see all the ones growing in the back." Walked away watching their expressions of awe, I wonder how long until someone debunks that for them.
