Holy crap.

Best Buy Employee AKA Me Circa 1999- "Can I help you find anything today ma'am?"

Customer- "Yes, can you show me where you keep the child's life preservers?"

Best Buy Employee- "What?"

Customer- "The child's life preservers."

Best Buy Employee- "Ma'am, you're at Best Buy, we don't carry child's life preservers."

Customer- "Are you sure?"

Best Buy Employee- "Yes, yes I am."


Wooden Nickel Employee AKA Me Circa 2001- "What can I do for you today miss?"

Customer, nicely dressed and driving a nice car, but with highly noticeable tremors- "Yeah, I've got a job interview today and I was wondering if you guys carry that stuff that gets dru...err...somewhat illegal substances out of your system?"

Wooden Nickel Employee- "Ummmm, sorry no we don't."

Customer- "Dammit. Okay, thanks anyway."

at a burger king drive thru

bk: welcome to burger king can I take your order?

me: I want a bacon double cheeseburger meal with a coke and that's it

bk: a what meal?

me: a bacon double cheeseburger meal

bk: ... ... uh.....we don't have no bacon double cheeseburger meal

me: um you don't? (i've ordered it before)

bk: no sir

me: um...okay......do you have a double cheeseburger meal?

bk: yeah

me: can I get bacon on that?

bk: yeah

me: that's what I want

bk: (sheepishly responded after long pause) your total is $.... please pull around.


The best part is when I pulled around it was the manager working the drive thru.

Back in my Wendy's days...a friendly looking middle aged woman walks in with her daughter.

Customer: I would like two hard shell tacos

Me: We don't have tacos

Customer: where are the tacos on your menu?

Me: We don't have tacos on our menu

Customer: You're a taco bell and you don't have TACOS?

Me (sporting a Wendy's hat at the register surrounded by pictures of burgers and Wendy's logos): We're not Taco Bell. This is Wendy's, and that's Taco Bell two places over.

Customer: *short pause* Oh. thanks!


Someone once ordered a Mozzarella Chicken "Surprise" instead of "Supreme". I wanted to say "Surprise! It's not chicken!", but I withheld.

My wife, working at KMart (when she was 16)...


Middle aged customer in Health and Beauty: "Where do you keep the vibrators?"

My wife: "Uh...I don't think we have those."

customer: "Hmmm. Really. They might be with your small electric appliances."

After showing her to the appliances which naturally, did not carry vibrators, my wife says..."Maybe you should try Pricilla's."
