This is so funny, and certainly brings back memories.
- I'd like a {insert silly item here, for example comb}
- What color do you want?
- It doesn't matter, any color will do. Perhaps a red.
- No hay.
- A green?
- No hay.
- What colors do you have?
- We only have blue combs.
- Then why did you ask me what color I wanted? (sometimes you manage to say this in a stifled voice, but sometimes it just comes out outloud, and the answer to this last question is ALWAYS a blank stare)
Perhaps the booth was built with the admirable goal to actually give customers information, but then they realized they were over their heads.
PS. For anyone who isn't very familiar with Mexico and how things work here: these kind of comments are made in jest and with love; it's just funny, and sometimes frustrating, but mostly funny.
