Pushy Questions & Books on "Learnin"

[daleduke17]

First post here so I thought I'd make it 2 quick ones! These happened a little while ago but don't those sucky customers just stick to your brain and refuse to let you believe that people are good?

SC= Man dragging his son along
Me= Sweet bookstore employee

SC pulls son up to counter
Me: Hi, how can I help you?
SC: Yeah I need some books for my son so he can learn things.
Me: Um... Like a textbook for school? Or a book of general knowledge?
SC: YOU KNOW! Books! Books for LEARNIN"

Of course... THOSE books...

That is when you take the child over to the "adult" section and give him a copy of the Kama Sutra. Hey, book for learnin'. No specifics given.


Right?

Wow, just wow.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a co-worker once
CW: hey you're always reading books can I borrow one sometime?
Me: Sure what kind of book are you after?
CW: you know, a readin' book

I died a little inside

I understand your pain...

Also you guys are all very funny, it definitely helps me realise that not all people actually behave like customers and that the world is not a completely hopeless place.
