    Kikkoman soy sauce...SC was oddly persistent, bothering four of us in succession. Of course SC said she comes in three times a week and "always bought it here before".
    I work in a normal grocery store (sot as part of the store) and they sell Kikkoman say sauce

      There is a regular chain grocery store in the mall (other end)...but there's no possible way to get the two stores confused. Or so I thought.

      A woman demanded ladyfingers, then got condescending and rude when I showed her what we had and she insisted that 'real' ladyfingers are cake-like. The only place I've seen soft packaged ladyfingers (really just soft sponge cake in a ladyfinger shape) is at my old store.

        Customer: Can I speak to [co-worker]?
        Me: I'm sorry, she's away from her desk. Can I have her call you back?
        Customer: Sure.
        Me: Okay, may I have your name please?
        Customer: Got a pencil?
        Me: .....

        OK, SERIOUSLY?? Even if it magically became 1942 again, why would I ask for your contact info if I DIDN'T have something to write with in my hand? And, y'know, it's NOT 1942. I mean, I could've said yes, I HAVE a pencil - several, in fact - but I sure as hell don't take messages with 'em.

        They're a holdover from way back when and I keep 'em around for nostalgia .

              And another installment (I need to come up with a "Stupid Requests" bingo card and post it in the warehouse).

              --Truffle flour (as in baking flour). It does exist, but J is suspect of it saying "truffle flavoring". My suggestion to the requester was flour and some truffle shavings from the fresh pasta counter, but she didn't want to pay that much.
              --Minced garlic in a jar. No, but we do sell garlic and you must have a knife or food processor (if not we sell those too!)
              --Premade salad dressing. Again. Nobody's happy with my suggestion of a good oil, balsamic and the spices of your choice.
              --Marzipan. J did say it's a Sicilian thing, but seeing as the major grocery store carries it I don't see why we would; the demand isn't there.
              --Instant coffee packets (while I'd love it if Lavazza made instant coffee, they don't)
              --Godiva chocolates. I don't even know if there's a Godiva store in the mall...there must be, but I want to know who's sending these people to us as it seems to be a constant request.

                Oddly, I think local Big Box Bookstore sells Godiva chocolates ...

                And from the description of what your store does carry, I'm half inclined to beg your for a URL so I can order stuff online (if your store does that). It sounds absolutely amazing.

                  B&N does sell Godiva, but not a lot. A small rounder by the check out line? As opposed to the full store at one of the large local malls.
