That’s One Small Kneeprint For Man Retail | Toronto, Canada (I was in a record store and I overheard this conversation.) Customer: “Hi, I’m looking for a gift for my dad. He likes jazz - who do you recommend?” Clerk: “Well, Louis Armstrong is pretty popular.” Customer: “Louis Armstrong? Isn’t he the astronaut? He’s like the first guy to walk on the moon.” Clerk: “No, no, you’re thinking Neil.” Customer: “Fine, whatever, the first guy to kneel on the moon.” |

Will Stop Playing For Food Hot Dog Cart | Rochester, NY, USA (It’s the end of the day on my mother’s hot dog cart, when I was about 17. We stop cooking and decide to hang up a sign selling the remaining cooked food 2-for-1. There’s an annoying guy that’s been badly playing the accordion next to our cart all day. ) Accordion guy: “Closing, eh? I’d like four Italian sausage, two cheeseburgers, and two hot dogs!” (My mom happily packs up the order into a box as I ring up the total.) Me: “That’ll be $10.50.” Accordion guy: “What? No! It’s $4!” Me: “Cheeseburgers are $3.50, sausage is $3, and hot dogs are $2. We’re having a special right now, but there’s still no way it adds up to only $4.” Accordion guy: “NO! Your sign says two-for-one! Two things for one dollar! I got eight things, so it’s $4!” Me: “That’s not at all what that sign means. It means you get two things for the price of one.” Accordion guy: “Yes it does! That’s exactly what it means!” Me: “Sir, I wrote the sign myself. Several customers have come up to the cart in the last few minutes, and haven’t had any trouble with this concept.” Accordion guy: “It’s $4!” Me: “You saying that doesn’t make it true.” My mom, quietly, to me: “Whatever. If he’s eating, he can’t play the accordion!” Me: “Sir, that will be $4, please!” |

Thou Shalt Grant Me A Floor Model Retail | Madison, WI, USA Customer: “Hello, I’d like to buy this TV, but I want a discount.” Me: “Sir, I’m not authorized to give discounts. ” Customer: “Ever?” Me: “Only on floor models.” Customer: “Then I want the floor model!” Me: “We’re only authorized to sell the floor model when we’re out of boxed product. Since the TV you want is right there on the shelf brand-new, I don’t have any reason to sell you the floor model. If I did that I’d just have to open another one.” Customer: “But I want a discount! I’m a missionary!” Me: “…what?” Customer: “I’m a missionary! I need this TV for my RV so I want a discount.” Me: “Let me get a manager for you…” (Yes, the manager sold him the floor model for 10% off.) |

Simultaneously Fighting And Financing The Man retail | Denmark (This took place at a department store makeup counter. Everyone at the counter was wearing big makeup masks at the time.) Customer: “Why are you wearing that?” Me: “Well, we’re having a ‘theme day’ to be creative and have fun with the makeup we sell.” Customer: “You know it’s bad for you, right?” Me: “The makeup?” Customer: “Yeah! All the CLEVER people say that!” Coworker: *jumping in* “Well, we have educations here too, and–” Customer: “Yeah, sure…you’re educated to sell this…this, stuff!” Me: “Whether the makeup is bad for you or not depends on the ingredients. I’m happy to look every one of those up for you if you’re worried about the makeup harming you.” Customer: “Yeah, right. All the dangerous ingredients are going to go right through my skin…and…the CLEVER people say that!” Me: “I’m sorry, but I’m a chemistry major as well as a makeup artist, so I actually do know about the ingredients. I can assure you that–” Customer: *turns to my coworker* “Could you help me find a blusher in a color that would suit me, please?” |
