Have you ever wondered if your green is the same green that other people see? I have. But then I stop thinking about it to avoid having an existential crisis.

Like this retail worker who was left questioning her sanity after a customer kept denying a basket was white when it clearly was white.

…Or was it?

Read on and see for yourself.

Customer left me questioning my sanity. He wouldn’t accept the fact that a basket was white.

I live in a European country, and I work part-time at a grocery store, hopefully full-time someday (when I am not suffering from 8+ diagnoses anymore).

I was at a shelf, doing the usual stuff.

An elderly male customer walked over to me with a plastic wicker basket and ask me “hun, what color is this”?

Odd already, but it gets weirder.

It was 100% white, no nuances, no shade, not a slightly warmer or colder white, just WHITE-white.

So I tried to keep a straight face and gave him the answer.

He didn’t believe it.

So he argued with her.

He KEPT THINKING it cannot possibly be white.

He just wouldn’t accept the truth. I had to send him to the manager, I just couldn’t deal with it.

He kept insisting that the basket wasn’t white.

He was not blind, I am absolutely certain.

Are there some kind of special colorblindness where you cannot see the color white? I don’t know.

Is the basket white or golden? Or blue? Or black? Doesn’t matter, no answer will convince him.

Let’s see what the people are saying about this on Reddit.

Not white.

Possibly.

An interesting fact.

My thoughts exactly.

Another reader chimes in.

They need very colorful things.

He needs to get his vision checked ASAP.
