minus-squareJasonDJ@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 days agoWas behind a local man, queued up for a concession stand at the Greenville Zoo in South Carolina. Somebody calls him, seemingly to ask where he was. He said the food line. He had to repeat himself several times before clarifying where he was. Apparently that person thought he was saying “Food Lion”, a regional grocery chain. The accent makes the words sound almost the same.
