So I'm putting up a few items in the dairy department when this elderly couple approaches me. The wife asks me where the bacon that doesn't need to be refrigerated is at. My response is where all the bacon would be: the meat department.
Not the kind that she wants. It was always on a display next to dairy.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't certain displays get changed and isn't bacon in the meat department? I told her this but she wouldn't get the hint. And the husband kept looking at me like I was speaking a different language.
They finally took off in the direction of the meat department where I'm sure they found their (lo and behold) bacon.
Old people particularly get fixated on certain things being in certain places, and they cling to those fixations like bed bugs to a house. Some of em will get hostile after you've simply tried to reason with them.
Mike Judge (creator of Beavis and Butthead) once described where he got the inspiration for Mr. Anderson's voice:
'When i was a kid I helped my buddy on his newspaper route. He was covering for another kid who had just suddently quit. We got to this old man's place to collect his fee, and he's (the old man) all (in the voice of Mr. Anderson) 'well, you're not my newspaper boy, and I aint givin you nothin.'
The kid tried explaining that the other boy had quit. Nope, no dice.
'Well, I know what my newspaper boy looks like, an' you aint him. I aint giving you nothin. I'll pay my newspaper boy.'

Old people, lol
I assume the old man finally started paying the new kid once his newspaper stopped being delivered.
