Amy Quote #610

Quote from Amy in California (Part 1)

Mark: And what about customers of color? Do you have any strategies for connecting with any particular demographic?
Amy: Um... [laughs nervously] Yeah. Sure. Of course. As a Latina... [laughs] I know that... family is very important to our culture, so I'm thinking... shared family accounts with distinct user profiles.
Zoe: See? Right there. That's something we wouldn't have thought of.
Mark: Really fresh perspective.
Amy: Yeah. I mean, all I know is that my mom, she uses my Zephra account for everything, and I'm just like, "Mamá, ven acá. I have your achiote paste." [laughs] It's a Honduran staple.
Mark: Oh. Did you grow up in Honduras?
Amy: Well, um... not physically, but if you think of it in a broader sense, like, in the cultura that was passed down to me, then... [sighs] Still no. Um, look, it's pretty obvious that you invited me here to interview for your resident Latina or whatever...
Zoe: No, that's not what we're...
Mark: No, no. It's more about fresh perspectives.
Amy: Right, right. I'm qualified for this job because I have 17 years of experience, and I know everything there is to know about our customers, but if all you're looking for is somebody with a spicy last name, then I suggest you keep looking. [drinks]
Mark: That's my water.
Amy: I'm sorry.

Quote from Dina

Jonah: Yeah, I will, although I'll have to check with Amy because I'm not sure the new shipment came in last night.
Dina: Well, Amy is at the eye doctor.
Jonah: Yeah, I know. I mean when she gets back.
Dina: From the eye doctor.
Jonah: Yep.
Dina: 'Cause that's where she is.
Jonah: Mm-hmm.
Dina: They're checking her out for a dead spot.
Jonah: What?
Dina: Yeah. Right eye, 10 degrees off center, about the size of a baseball, she said.
Jonah: Wow, that's a lot of detail.
Dina: It is, and I bet you're wondering why she hasn't mentioned it. It's because she doesn't want you to worry.
Jonah: Uh-huh.
Dina: Yeah. You know, because if the dead spot gets worse, and let's be honest, it will, you're gonna be the person taking care of her. Feeding, bathing, describing the ocean. Anyway, it's gonna be beautiful. Like a Nicholas Sparks novel. I'm excited about that for you.
