FLYER!

[jjc927]

Our store asks us to collect the store flyers from carts if the customer does not want them so they don't fly away outside and we can reuse/recycle them, especially towards the end of the sale week. Here was one exchange I had today when asking:

Me: Did you want to keep the flyer you have in your cart?
Customer: Do I want to keep the fire? What?
Me: No, the store flyer in your cart. Did you want to keep it?
Customer: I don't know what you mean. Flyer??

Seriously, who else doesn't know what a flyer is? It's a simple word! And for the first dumb part, I actually had someone once who thought I was telling her that her cart was on fire.

Some people call them circulars. I think flyer is pretty common, though.

Was it at a fire sale?

We use the terms flyer, circular, and store paper. This woman also yelled "Don't rush me! Wait a minute!" because I was attempting to give her the receipt and printed coupons after her order while she was fixing up her purse right on top of the bag carosel when I had a line.
