Finishline - Happened today.
Lady comes in acting all angry blah blah blah. "You guys sold me the wrong shoes and I had to drive 45 miles to get here!"
Brought in a size 10.5 Adidas shoe and exchanged for a Size 12.0 Jordan.
How do you buy the wrong size and a completly different brand of shoe and not even noticed what you just paid for?
How can a store sell you the wrong thing? By her logic we coulda sold her a car and she wouldn't have noticed. lol People get dumber everyday. It'sobvious she wasn't paying attention to what she bought. I've never bought the wrong item.

Worked a temp job at a hotel for about a week while another worker was gone.
Husband 1: Hi, how much is a room per night?
Me: $49.99 plus tax.
Husband: How much for two nights?
Me: $99.98 plus tax
Wife: I think he's trying to rip us off, nobody can multiply that fast?
*hubby and wife talk it out while I get my calculator out*
Me: * show them that 49.99 times 2 = 99.98
Wife: Well how deep is the pool?
Me: 5 feet
Husband: Let's go, honey. This little punk is trying to rip us off.

Swear on everything...when working in Adidas retail this guy walks up to me with a piece of paper with 4 shoes on them and asks if we have any of the shoesavailable...
What shoes were on that piece of paper you ask?
1. Lacoste lows
2. New Balances
3. Chuck Taylors
4. Air More Uptempos
I seriously just walked away because I thought I was on MTV's Boiling Points

I work at a youth center in downtown MPLS. It goes up to people as old as 21. Most of the people who frequent the place are older than me. We offer freecomputer access, so, as I'm sure you can imagine, I get tons of dumb people asking me questions.
Person A: I see that you guys have an old coffee bar. Do you sell drinks?
Me: Nah, we got rid of that because it was losing us money.
PA: Well, can I get a soda?
Me: We have two vending machines over there. Pepsi and an Energy Drink one.
PA: Well, I want a coke.
Me: Go to the corner store then. We don't have any coke. Sorry.
PA: Could you check the employee fridge for me?
Me: No.
Person B: Does it cost anything to use the computers?
Me: No, we provide free service.
PB: Totally free? Like, I don't gotta pay or nothin'?
Me: Yep. Totally free.
*Five minutes later*
PB: How come some sites are blocked?
Me: *Looks at the screen. Notices the robocop material.* We don't allow pornography on these computers.
PB: I wasn't tryna look at no porno mane! I was just tryna check my email! What you talkin' bout porno?! *Quickly exits out of explorer.*
Me: *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.*
Person C: How come my computer isn't working?
Me: Is it turned on?
PC: Of course it's turned on, what you think, I'm stupid or sumfin? (Yes. She said sum-fin.)
Me: *Checks the computer light. Notices it's not on.* Try pushing the power button.
PC: BUT I JUS TOLD YOU THAT IT AINT WORKIN!
Me: Just try it.
PC: *Presses it. It turns on.* WHAT YOU DO TO IT?
Me: *Waves fingers around.* Magic.
Person D: Hey, do you work here?
Me: Yeah. What can I help you with?
PD: Oh, I was just wonderin'. I always see you here.
Me: Yep, I just started not too long ago.
*Five minutes pass.*
PD: So, how long you been working here?
Me: Almost a month.
PD: So you do work here....
Me: Yeaaaaaah...
