Bed, Bath & Beyond, cutting board aisle. Hot Pants and I are perusing the cutting boards, as ours is warped and cracking. I notice something called the Onion Saver, which is a plastic container shaped like an onion.
Me: Did you see this neat-o onion saver thing? You use it to keep onions you have sliced fresh and happy.
Overzealous BB&B worker: AREN'T THEY GREAT? YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BUY ONE!!!!
Me, a little shaken by how loud she is: Um, yes. They look neat. Thanks for your help!
Overzealous BB&B worker goes back to stocking shelf near us. I notice she has strangely spiked hair with streaks of blonde and is really, really, really tan for someone who is living in the Northern Hemisphere where it is winter.
Me, to HP: Why not this cutting board? It's nice. I like the dark wood color.
Overzealous BB&B worker: YOU COULD USE IT TO CUT YOUR ONION ON AND THEN GET THE ONION SAVER!!!
Me: We just need a cutting board right now. But thanks. Again.
Overzealous BB&B worker: NO PROBLEM! LET ME KNOW IF CAN HELP YOU ANY MORE!
A lesser known impact from the country's shit-ass economy: store workers are actually losing their minds.

They had hundreds of those onion savers. In the cutting board section, in the middle of the main aisle, crawling up the register counters.
An onion saver is a plastic container shaped like an onion, which is supposed to keep your cut onion fresh longer than, say, plastic wrap.
See an example here, from Amazon
They apparently also have lime/lemon savers.
Plastics!
That is hysterical. I saw the onion savers there, and the lemon and lime ones. Ah...did you settle on a cutting board? The bamboo ones are dreamy.
