Key ring, not Kiwi!!

I went to get my soup and after I went to try to buy a key ring to safely put my keys. I get quite a few keys for the NEU and need to make sure I don't loose them. However I went to this store inside the NEU where all the employees are Chinese. Anyway, I made the mistake to ask if they had key rings.... it went more or less like this

- Excuse me, do you sell key rings? 
- Kiwis, yes we have kiwis! 
She then shouted to the back
- Pum Lao, did we get kiwis today?
to which I said, 
- Sorry, not kiwi, key ring. 
- Yes, we do have kiwi, go to the back, it's over there!
- No ma'am, key rings, to put keys.
- No, you can't put keys on kiwi, you eat kiwi!
- I know. I need "something" to put keys on it.
then I show her the keys
- Ahh you want "kiring". No, we don't have "kiring"!!
- Thanks!

I had to control myself not to laugh because it was quite funny. The result is that I don't have a "kiring" nor a "kiwi". I'll try to find later and hopefully the people there won't sell kiwis.
