So I’m back in Georgia visiting this weekend, and I stop at a gas station in a small town. I plop a large Dasani on the table and hand the attendant my card.
“Credik or debit?”, she asks while obviously annoyed. “Excuse me?” I mostly want to confirm that this really took place — that I didn’t imagine it. “Credik or debit?”
I think next time, rather than walk away and blog about it, I’m going to take the time to actually point out that no such word exists. My girlfriend recommended that I ask why she didn’t say, “Credik or Debik.” That’s another approach. I’m considering also mentioning, just as a helpful measure, that there’s no such place as Walmark.
