I was in the laundry basket aisle, which is also where the hangers are. Hangers are at one end of the aisle and laundry baskets are on the other, which is where a customer and her boyfriend were standing, looking for hangers.
"Oh, that says hangers," the GF said. "But that's not where hangers are, they're lying. That's not right."
She whizzed by me on her way to the hangers and I looked in the direction of the laundry baskets, not seeing the sign that was supposedly lying. The boyfriend just looked at me and shrugged, as he didn't see it either.
Now, on the end cap there were hangers at one point. I didn't recall seeing a sign that specifically said hangers but I went to check anyway, thinking I would remove it as it would be misleading if she was right. Alas, I did not see a sign either.
She returned with her hangers and said to me, "That sign says hangers. But that's not where the hangers are. You really need to change that."
Finally, I looked to where she was pointing. The sign said "hampers." I pointed this out and she started giggling. Not a drunk giggle. Not an embarrassed giggle. She was wearing glasses, so I know it wasn't a vision thing. She just laughed without any sign that she knew she had made a mistake.
I just smiled and looked at the boyfriend and maybe my brain mouth filter skipped a bit when I said, "You're the one driving, right?"
He nodded, with enough embarrassment to make up for his SO and they went about their day.
