Late Most-Memorable-Customer-of-the-Day updates

Y'all must be wondering by now where all the interesting folk in Divisoria have run off to - frankly, there was a positive dearth of them post-Christmas holidays. I did run into a few MMCs though...

Sometime right after New Year's Day
MMCD #1: "Meron ba kayong Black & Decker?" (Do you have any Black & Decker?)
Raul (my driver): "Di ba power tools yun?" (Aren't those power tools?)
MMCD #1: "Ay, mali. Black Label pala." (Oh, that was wrong. I meant Black Label.)

----------
April 18

MMCD #2: "Meron ba kayong red wine para sa babae?" (Do you have any red wine [suitable as a] ladies' drink?)
*Later, after a short sales pitch and one bottle of wine purchased/wrapped up...*
MMCD #2: "Pwede din 'to para sa lalaki, ano?" (Men can drink this too, right?)

Woman, why do you bother asking for a ladies' drink in the first place?

----------
April 18 (again)

MMCD #3: "Magkano ba 'tong red wine?" (How much is this red wine?)
Ynee: "Two-twenty." (220 [pesos])
MMCD #3: *turns to companion* "Ito, o...two-twelve!" (This one, 212 [pesos]!)
Ynee/Betsy/Cleod: *snicker*
