Returning an accidental purchase can be a frustrating endeavor. But this man's return attempt just might be one of the most unbelievable grocery store fights yet.
A man named James Dator found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time (or perhaps the right place at the right time) when he went to the grocery store recently. Instead of your typical shopping trip, Dator found himself listening to one very confused man trying to return butternut squash because he thought it was a giant box of cubed cheese.
Fortunately for the internet, Dator then proceeded to live tweet the argument as it unfolded, and the entire conversation is comedy gold.
It all started one one very confused man.

From there, the customer's argument got weirder. The customer demanded they give him 2 pounds of cubed cheese for the same price he paid for the squash.

His attempt to return the squash was doomed from the start, but at least it made for some great Twitter comedy. And for anybody who wants to learn more about the Great Squash Return of 2017, check out Dator's essay about the experience at SB Nation here.
