Overheard at Star Market yesterday:
Customer: Do you have a paper cutter?
High School Student Clerk: (annoyed) What, like, scissors?
Although I’m disappointed in an education system that’s left a high school student unaware of what a “paper cutter” is, I should perhaps be giving her the benefit of the doubt. Random House defines it as:
n. any device for cutting or trimming paper…
(She gave the guy some scissors, which he reluctantly accepted.)
