How come ....

How come the best and most authentic salsa I've ever tasted is called Italian Rose?

How come when you use your debit card the charge will show up on your account before you can get your receipt from the cashier but it takes days for a deposit , even in cash, to show up. The same applies to credits on returned
purchases.

i am probably guilty of asking "is this Bed, Bath & Beyond?" I have found that most receptionist answer so many calls that they spit out something like you describe about 'bed bath and beyond' but it comes out as one incoherent blob. It is rare that companies hire a receptionist that articulates a greeting. Most would not have to repeat what they say if they just slowed down and articulate. Men do not hear the womans voice the same way woman do. Slow it down some. I know it is being polite but stating your 'name and the how can I direct your call' may be to much to process especially if it all come at you like a blur.
