Oh yeah. I go through the following playlet every time I buy habs at the
local SuperMegaMart:
Checker: What are these?
Me: Habanero's.
Checker: What're those?
Me: Peppers.
Checker: Oh, like Jalapeno's?
Me: Close enough.
Checker: They're not on my list, what do they cost?
Me: I dunno, I just grabbed as many as I needed.
Checker: I'll charge you $1.99/lb. under "assorted peppers".
Me: OK.
