How do I get away with this?

[Shironu-Akaineko]

Do I have diplomatic immunity?

Guh?

Customer: Uh like, are these, like, games for like, sale?

Me: No. They're games to stick under your shirt and run out the door with.

Solid Snake, you ain't.

Me: Would you like a bag?

Customer: Sure! Don't wanna look like I stole it! Haha!

Me: Would you like your receipt?

Customer: Sure! Don't wanna look like I stole it! Haha!

Me: Sir, short of sticking it under your shirt and tip-toeing out of the store looking guilty, you're gonna look just fine.

Customer: HAHAW!!

Do not abuse my counter

Customer: *slaps hands down and shouts* OY! MAYBE YOU CAN TELL ME THAT!!

Me: Probably, unless you ask me in that same tone of voice, then I won't be inclined to answer.

Customer talks normal the rest of the conversation.

Need for digestion

Customer: Yes, do you have Need for Speed Undercover for DS?

Me: *search* I'm sorry ma'am, I don't have it in store and my suppliers don't have it either.

Customer: Well, you see, it's cuz I rented it yesterday... and the dog ate it.

Me: Oh. Okay. Well, you could wait roughly 8 hours to get it back, but I don't garantee the shape it'll be in.

Customer:

Not mincing words

Regular : Hi!

Me: I don't have any change for you, you bum.

Regular: What'd I do?

I'm judgemental

Regular: I dunno. I don't like Nintendo.

Me: Get outta my store.

Regular:

You'd be surprised how often they do it, and it works!

Stuttering Customer: Yes, I-I-I w-w-w-w-ould...

Me: Sing it.

SC: What?

Me: No, no, trust me. Sing it.

SC: Um.... *sings what she wants in one fell swoop* O-O-Oh my god! I-it works!

Me: Told ya.

No. I can't tell you that.

Customer: Do you have season 9 of one tree hill?

Me: Hang on... stops at 8 here. I think they didn't translate season 9 yet.

Customer: I only speak french (Really, all my stories happen in french except for one or 2)

Me: Hang on... nope, you're gonna have to wait, they haven't translated it in french yet.

Customer: Well, do you know when they are...gonna...translate...it.

Me: Nope. I can't know that.

Customer: My god that was a stupid question. I don't know why I asked.

Me: You had the face of a guy that realized what he was saying in the middle of his sentence. Like "Oh my god, I can't believe I'm asking that... but I gotta finish my question now!"

Customer: Yeah, exactly!!!

You can hide, but you can't run.

This super shy kid is ordering his dad to move around constantly, screaming at him "NOTHIIIIING!!! AAAAH!" and plugging his ears when his dad asks him what he wants him to look at.

Dad: What do you want to show me???

Me: He's shy and doesn't want me to see him. You're his camouflage.

Dad: Oh yeah! That's most likely it!

Me to kid as he rushes out the store with his game : I DON'T BITE! HARD!

Dad and other customer in the store:

The singing trick. I heard about that in the Incarnations of Immortality series.

I was thinking more The Kings Speech. (link is NSFW)

The singing trick. I heard about that in the Incarnations of Immortality series.

I'm trying to remember which book that was in...Wasn't it in Threads of Fate? *needs to read those again*

Yeah I saw that in a Piers Anthony book once. IIRC it was explained that singing utilizes a different part of the brain and thus circumvents the stutter reflex. other sites also point out that singing elongates words so that they may be easier to say.

but i'm glad the customer was happy!


edit:

The singing trick. I heard about that in the Incarnations of Immortality series.

OMG I seriously wrote my reply before reading the others. Heh! That's the series I was thinking about!

My dad was present when two other Mormon missionaries had an entire English bus full of people stifling themselves trying not to laugh out loud...

These young men (18-22) were arguing back and forth over who st-st-stutter-ter-tered and who stammered.

It's from Wielding a Red Sword, the one about War.

I liked the Incarnations of Immortality series. I almost went and picked up the one about the Incarnation of Night, but from what I heard, it's terrible compared to the rest.

D'oh! Mym's solution. I was getting it confused with the singing of Fate's husband. I really need to go read it again.

Haven't read the one about Night either, but I'll still probably pick it up. Honestly, my opinion is that he really wrote the series so he could write about Satan. That was the strongest of the books, by far.
