Have to admit --- at least I feel better knowing that someone "knows" what it's like to have to buy cleanser and is unfortunately stuck at a location where there's a different take on it. (( Usually, I feel so intimidated at the hardware store... because the guy had XXX amount of experience and I lack that.))
Yes, I do realize that you've got a career in Foreign Languages --- that's all wonderful.
Somehow have you ever talked to someone at length, at a hardware store - other than in English ? Did you feel more confident, or less so ? Did you have to return an item... and unfortunately, you couldn't get the person working there to understand why...
It kinda tears my heart out --- how difficult it is to just be understood.
At least somebody cared enough that you found the aisle with the cleanser.

Fun figuring out what "this" item is...
