Some will argue that there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. I think whoever said that has never worked in retail. So, what's the dumbest question you've ever been asked?
For example:
A woman came in the store looking for Ice T. I showed her the section, but alas, we were out of this particular artist.
"It looks like we're out of him at the moment."
"Oh. Well do you know which one it is?"
Perplexed, I ask her to clarify. "Do I know which one what is?"
She looks at me, and in a tone usually reserved for small children and dogs, says "Do you know which one it is you are out of?"
I look at her and, in a tone of voice usually reserved for dullards and lackwits, answer "That would be all of them, it would seem."
