When I open my wonder-mart, instead of displaying the closed-circuit camera up front to deterr thieves, I'm going to play tapes of idiotic questions like the examples above to deterr stupid people. I'm betting a study would confirm that morons cost more than criminals.
...this is reminding me entirely too much of working in the library...
"My friend...had this book...it was...umm...about this size *illustrated with hand gestures* and...it was brownish. It was brown."
Oh, my word, that book! Yes, indeed, we keep it right over here...with the other two hundred fifty thousand holdings. -_-
Why do people always ask me if I speak Spanish?
I should do this one day...
Customer: Speak espanol?
Me: Si...
Customer: (starts talking in spanish really fast)
Me: No comprende, amigo...(walks away)
Its funny too, my store is made up of either Spanish or black people, and I'm like one of 3 Asians there...
I used to love the day after Thanksgiving. I worked an off-duty security job at a big department store. One of my duties was to unlock the doors and let customers in. As most are aware, these fools line up 2 hours before a store opens. I'd get attacked when I pulled up to work with them wanting in. I'd kindly let them know we open at X hour and not a minute sooner. Some would start their complaining so I'd make a mental note to unlock the door they were at last of the 3 doors I had to unlock and open.
The best part would be waiting by the doors a few minutes before opening time. People would start banging on the glass doors wanting in. When they saw me walking up to the doors, they'd get all excited thinking I was coming to open them. I'd just stand there and taunt them.
customer: hey, it's time to open, it's already 1 minute past X hour.
me: nah, my watch says 5 mins til, you'll have to wait.
Eventually I'd open up all the doors and listen to all the complaining. Whenever I got the obnoxious customer spewing profanity, I'd kindly pull him/her away and explain to them that I could arrest them for their stupid behavior. This usually just infuriated them more since they were being held up from getting to the door buster items before everyone else, lol.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I hate that shit too. People will stroll in at 8:55 and spend forever looking at games. and then they'll take forever coming up to the register.Quote:

Oh, and especially don't say..... " I'm sorry to be so late, I guess you guys want to go home." Gee, we actually have a life as opposed to you, bitch.
This has been a totally self centered public interest announcement.
one guy decided halfway through a transaction (one which already put us past closing time) that he still needed to look around. He finally left about 20 minutes after we were supposed to close.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">the "do you work here?" question irritates the shit out of me.Quote:

I am SO glad I got outta retail...
Let's see..I'm currently standing atop the stool of death (it's one of those round, wheeled stepstools..and it has a massive crack around the bottom that makes it very unsteady), with a stack of games in my hand, which I'm currently putting away in proper alphabetical order.
I also have on a large neon green and black nametag that says "gamestop", with "Amber" directly beneath that.
I'm always really tempted to say "No, I don't work here".
well, just to throw this out there, not necessarily defend the stupid...
I wish people would ask me that. When i go in to one of my client's sites to work on the systems i get dumbasses asking me all kinds of stupid questions just because i'm there...
