I live in an 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"?

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. 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 thay 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.
