We had a remodel; can we remodel the customers' attitudes?

I doubt he was actually asking, I think he just said that when he got called out on cutting, but that's just how it comes off as to me. Maybe it's a double entendre he's been practicing. Good to see it's not working!

I can see a few exceptions, such as a quick "which way to the ladie's room" when the line is a dozen people long and directions are needed urgently
or even a quick check to make sure that the line there is the line you need.

But for the most party, yeah, even when they say a "quick question" it usually isn't.

I have yet to have anyone come up to me and say "BATHROOM!".. and if they did I'd probably still be confused. But yes, a few exceptions don't hurt. Those are just the people that actually wait in line before asking.

The most common question I get is often while I'm busy helping someone else: Where are your batteries? Reach your hand out a few inches and you'll literally touch them. How did you find me but not the thing that's right infront of you?

If people "just have a quick question", then they shouldn't mind going to the information desk for help (which many stores have), or just asking a roaming employee who isn't helping anyone else at the moment >_>

OH I'm SORRY where were looking for "WHAT IS corn of a variety...." You will receive no points this round.

Suck it, Trebek!

Well, you're assuming they're actually looking around.

What I do in those cases is very politely say "They're directly in front of you."

I believe the appropriate response to an SC giving a loud one-word "command" is to respond with "FISHSTICKS!"...

I get questions like this all the time. I tend to just blankly stare at the person for a second or two (like I have to think about it) and then point behind them or behind me (whichever is the case). But then I'm a bit jaded. And at 25.
