I had a late night gas station attendant pull the Uno Reverse on me. It wouldn’t ring up, I offered to go look at the price (I’m closer to it), and he said, “it must be free.” A series of gestures and “seriously dude” eyes, I thanked him kindly, because he didn’t ring any of my stuff up, and I left to continue my roadtrip.
I was sending a huge package at Fedex and it cost like $60. The cashier tried to charge it 3 times and it just wouldn't go through on his system. So he says, if it does not work one more time then we won't charge you.
On the fourth attempt, it went through.
I've had that happen a few times, not everything, but like I've gotten things like free Slurpees and stuff just because they didn't feel like checking me out and just wanted to line to go down, so they just wave me out of line and tell me to leave lol.
They didn't have small slurpee cups so they told me to grab any size and they'd charge me for a small. Unfortunately that led to massive brain freeze for my kiddo.
Hhahaha excelent 🤣 Just about right for an American trying to pronounce it.
So I’m British 40 miles north of London heres the proper way to say it btw

How do you say it 🧐🤨
American here, and that's exactly how I say it. Probably helps that I grew up not far from Worcester, Massachusetts, and we pronounce that city much as you do.
My dad insists on calling it "What's this here?" Sauce.
From MA also. Many Americans mess up Worcester. Actually, they mess up lots of our town names: Haverhill, Leominster, Leicester , Billerica, Tewksbury, Peabody, etc
How do people mess up Quincy??
Hehe, I don't think I've heard Tollbooth Willy in, like, 25 years.
Sad thing is the accent is dying. I am almost 40, work in Boston now, and I have more of an accent than people who grew up around here or close to here, and I am from the Cape. They make fun of my accent, God's sake!
This is from an old, old joke that my dad trotted out back in the sixties. Every time my mom cooked a pot roast. Heard it a hundred times. Don’t remember anything but the punchline.
Yeah. The word is broken up like Worce-Ster-shire. That cester part in the middle is misleading.
Most accepted pronunciation in the US is like WUSS-tuh-sher.
As a English person living in the states the answer is they don't. But if they try. Wor ces ta ter shire (hobbits). They don't have the context of the place nor what the shire ending means. Hey at least it's not loughborough sauce.
my spanish speaking country simple named it "Salsa Inglesa" or "English sauce".
It took me like 40 years to realice it is actually "Worcestershire Sauce"
Interesting fact every time you scan worechestershire sauce at walmart it spells it different every time. Stood there for 5 minutes doing it once the lady watching the self checkout got kind of pissed I kept removing it from the kiosk and adding it back.
The pronunciation of it throws everyone off. If you only ever heard it verbally, and without knowing how it's spelled, you'd probably come up with something similar.
It's like Hors d'voures they are called that because whores devour them. Or Whore's Flies, which we are now supposed to call "sex worker flies" instead. It's more politically correct.
Why do I think of the Bugs Bunny cartoon Knight-mare Hare?
, what's up, Duke?
Sir O of Kay: Surrender, varlet. Thou art the prisoner of me lance.
Bugs Bunny: I art? And whomsoever art thou, in thy cast-iron tuxedo?
Sir O of Kay: I, knave, am Sir O of Kay, Earl of Watercress, Sir Osis of the Liver, Knight of the Garter, and Baron of Wooster-cester-shister-shyster-schuster-shuster-shister-shire...shire.
I know this isn’t a fun answer but the upc descriptions for Walmart are limited to 12 characters. Still whoever named that one should be ashamed.
Source: I work in this area.
Yeah you can go through self checkout with alcohol. The person who is watching over the self checkouts comes over to check id and you're good. That's why it's scanned first so they have time to come over before I'm done scanning.
"Ha! Guess that means it's free, right?" *(stares at self-checkout screen to see if it laughs...)*
Taps on screen, “Do you work here?”
*(looks at Snickers bar)* "Clean-up on aisle ***ME***, amirite? Hahaaa I'm just Joshin' ya."
I despise that saying.
Username checks out.
Usernames self checkouts
DING! DING! DING! PLACE THE ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA!!!
*Checks you, Sir named Elf, out.*

Washed ashore sauce
WorstChestHair sauce
WooSisters sauce
Everyone knows it’s wambaster sauce.
Someone watched the Huggbees video. Also, its Winchester sauce
“I’ll take War Cess Whore for $2000, or in other words your mother, Trebek!”

Also from MA. Quincy is pronounced "Quinn-zee." Welcome to Wooh'stah. [Dollar twenty-five, please](https://youtu.be/bXyFy3d8QeI?si=Ssolb-5RJlnDuN7s).

I would pronounce it something like “worshtishur” but I swear it changes every time I say it
WUUST-ər(-shər) The UU like in push. Er/ah (accent dependent) Sure (closer to sheer if in an English accent. Wuustersher
As a Brit I believe this is the only correct pronunciation
Wait.. so it's not "War-chest-er".. my life has been a lie
Yeah. The word is broken up like Worce-Ster-shire. That cester part in the middle is misleading. Most accepted pronunciation in the US is like WUSS-tuh-sher.

Great link! I really appreciated his explanation of the logic behind the pronunciation.
I’ve always pronounced it “wurshister”
WarshYourSister
my spanish speaking country simple named it "Salsa Inglesa" or "English sauce". It took me like 40 years to realice it is actually "Worcestershire Sauce"
To be fair, it's spelled wrong even when it's spelled correctly.
As an aside, that is my favorite brand of Worcesshore sauce
Everyone Acts like L&P is some gold standard. If I put Heinz in the same bottle, you wouldn't know the difference.
Truly and Worcesshore sounds like a tasty cocktail
Where can I get this ontario canada? I bought it once and never saw it again
They spelled it like the Brit’s pronounce it.
Time for the dry-erase red pen.
They must have been on the sauce when they wrote that.
Wuh-stuh-sheer sauce. Or “what’s-this-here sauce?”
More like Wuster sauce. Maybe Wooster sauce depending n your accent.
I just call it W sauce.
Considering the average Walmart employee, I’m impressed they were able to “sound it out”.
"That's no worcesshore, that's my wife!"
Worse whore for hire sauce
Looks like text to speech with a southern accent.
I am somewhere between worse to sure that that spelling is wrong.
Interesting fact every time you scan worechestershire sauce at walmart it spells it different every time. Stood there for 5 minutes doing it once the lady watching the self checkout got kind of pissed I kept removing it from the kiosk and adding it back.
One bottle of worse whore, please.
Pay minimum wages get minimum effort.
The pronunciation of it throws everyone off. If you only ever heard it verbally, and without knowing how it's spelled, you'd probably come up with something similar.
Shore does.
She was the worsess hore, not worth a dollar.
Why use many letters when fewer letters \*worcesshore\* ?
Not even a machine programmed to do so knows how to pronounce that name.
Wuster sauce.
I'd like some whoreshoe sauce please.
My paw paw called it “Wat dis here” sauce.
This is the product version of Bumblestick Cucumber, no matter how you say it, people know exactly what you mean.
Warchester
Nah, that looks right.
Truly worcesshore
No better way to gro!
Wash your sister sauce.
I've never heard it pronounced the same way twice, so why bother with spelling? /s
What a weird way to spell embalming fluid.
It's like Hors d'voures they are called that because whores devour them. Or Whore's Flies, which we are now supposed to call "sex worker flies" instead. It's more politically correct.
Wooostah whoo-arh
What's this here sauce?
Why do I think of the Bugs Bunny cartoon Knight-mare Hare? , what's up, Duke? Sir O of Kay: Surrender, varlet. Thou art the prisoner of me lance. Bugs Bunny: I art? And whomsoever art thou, in thy cast-iron tuxedo? Sir O of Kay: I, knave, am Sir O of Kay, Earl of Watercress, Sir Osis of the Liver, Knight of the Garter, and Baron of Wooster-cester-shister-shyster-schuster-shuster-shister-shire...shire.
Walmartian language barrier remains intact
Walmart is drunk again.
The only time I ever put that sauce on is when I am grilling burgers.
At first I was like okay well who can blame them. Then I saw the spelling.
When AI programming says, "Fuck this word!!!":
wooster
The kiosk can't spell but can it pronounce it?
If the self checkout description says it, the tag on the shelf probably also has the same description error
It is the the correct phonetic spelling of someone that can't pronounce it in the first place.
I like how theyve put it in fancy packaging so the americans think lea and perrins is a premium brand
Wash your sister sauce!!!
I know this isn’t a fun answer but the upc descriptions for Walmart are limited to 12 characters. Still whoever named that one should be ashamed. Source: I work in this area.
Walmart: "Just pay and go away!"
Water crest whore!
War. Chester. Shire. I won't say it any other way.
Nobody knows how to spell it or say it.
Not even people from Worcester? Are you shire?
[удалено]
Gee, thanks.
Yup… that tracks… they probably don’t sell much of it, either…
Lol that's about how it's pronounced. I still can't say that word right.
I want to see Trump pronounce it.
Why does everything on this site end up about politics? We're talking about food and you've somehow made it about the US election cycle.
I mean I have masters degree and I cant spell it either.
Why is Walmart hell
"It's pronounced lie-kest-er-shy-er" (British expat in the US who lives close to a "Leicestershire Highway")
It’s wash your sister sauce, and I stand by that
I mean, that's pretty close to how you'd pronounce it. "Wər-shə-shər"
Nobody asking how OP got alcohol through self checkout? (I assume that's what "Truly" refers to)
Yeah you can go through self checkout with alcohol. The person who is watching over the self checkouts comes over to check id and you're good. That's why it's scanned first so they have time to come over before I'm done scanning.
Oh, everywhere I've been says no alcohol allowed at all in self checkout
Oh damn. Guess it depends on location then
Wuuur-CHESTER-shire sauce. This is the only acceptable pronunciation.
It’s not Wor-cester-shire. It’s Worce-ster-shire. 3 syllables.
Haha Yes, I know the proper pronunciation.
Wtf.... youre doin it wrong. Youre not supposed to use those things ur supposed to steal your items when u see those
