Guessing that some or vast majority of everyone on here has worked in retail at one point in your life
I have had some weird ass customers asking for stupid things...and I bet you have too
"Looking for a machine to make toast"
"I need the packaging back for the instructions for the yoyo"
"I'm looking for pussy shampoo"...which she proceed to point at her pussy
What has happened to you?
Weirdest request you have been asked? |

I was standing at the rotisserie counter in a supermarket, when a wee woman asked if they sold cooked chickens. There were at least a dozen in the hot display. |

"Do you have a wall mount for a DVD player ? Sorry do you mean a shelf try ikea B & Q or B & M  "
Does anyone else see the irony in asking a tv for DVD player mount?
Just me then?  |

"Not weird but clearly the woman was plain stupid. Hands me a Scottish £5 note and asks if it's worth the same as an English one  "
I had something along similar lines when i used to work in London a lot. I handed a scottish £20 to the girl at the till in a wee corner shop.
Her first question was "is this legal tender?". I assured her it wasnt counterfeit money.
Her second question was "whats the exchange rate?".
I was too honest... I should have said its worth £50 english notes

Today it's mainly been hearing how cold it is at least 40 times. Like I hadn't had to actually arrive at work so hadn't noticed 
But I used to work in the cafe of a well known cinema chain, and we had so many stupid questions that we actually started making a list. Once we stopped getting new ones we'd mark off how many we got in a shift. Top questions included:
"What's the difference between a regular and large coffee?" Clearly, the size and price.
"Do you have any other flavours of ice cream?" Yes, but I haven't bothered to put them out in case I get peckish.
And
"Can I get a pint of lager?" "We don't sell pints, just bottles" "I'll have a half pint then" If we don't sell pints, what are the chances that we do halves? Do you see a beer pump anywhere? |
