Reminds me of the time I was on the road in the States. Kelly and I had just returned from Greece where we discovered that Greek olive oil was lighter and a bit more flavorful than most other olive oils. I walked into a Wal Mart and was looking for Greek olive oil to put on my Greek salad back at the hotel. Not finding any, I asked a stock clerk of they had any olive oil from Greece. He walked off and came back about ten minutes later with an odd look on his face saying, "My manager says all our olive oil comes from olives." All I could say was, "Thank you."

@jkuvakas Sounds like a typical response from someone at Walmart.  Loved the story!
