Dumbest question you have ever been asked

[ShetenshiSenshi]

Someone once asked me if our front entrance was our only front entrance. Sometimes I weep for humanity.

I have been asked this, but it's generally by someone who is considering applying. Or a mother who is looking for prospects for her teen. At that point, I give an honest answer: that it's good people (mostly), and that it's a great place to work while in college, since it's so flexible.

"Youze got any fuckin' job vacancies?" from a guy without a shirt. He didn't seriously want a job, all he wanted was proof that he was looking for work so that he can sit around and collect unemployment benefits most of the time. He even said so... "I'm on the dole but they're still making me look for two jobs a week"

3. And there's the sort who stop me-- while I'm wearing civvies, tooling around and shopping a store-- and ask. I have questioned friends and relatives what there is about my demeanor that seems to invite this phenomenon. Is there a particular walk, expression or wardrobe style that incites the rodent sludge to trod through the labyrinth until they locate me and erroneously expect me to be the bearer of the cheese? In this situation, I'll wager there will come a day when I hope I find myself powerless to resist saying, "Yes, but I work on commission only-- which means this is the day YOU kiss MY ass."

It's known as the "Customer Service Pheremone". I've been out of retail for almost 3 month now and I'm still emitting it apparently!

BTW, lastofthesummerwine - I love that show! But our idiot PBS station won't run it anymore.

I have had people ask me if I worked there (while being in WalMart) while in my MCDONALDS unifrom. No...I'm not wearing the blue "MAY I HELP YOU?" vest, am I?

'How do I get downstairs?'
Seriously, I hear this everyday.
I am utterly tempted to say 'YOU FLY!' or 'JUMP OVER THE RAILING!'
I usually say 'The stairs are over there' and then you see the realization of what they just said dawn on their faces.

The dumbest question by far: "Who is Anne Hunger, anyway?"

Me: Would you like to donate a dollar to help end hunger?
SC: No.... I don't even know who that is!
Me: Um, ok.
SC: *looks confused as I finish ringing him up*

When the transaction was done, he walks away, then steps back.

SC: "Who is Anne Hunger, anyway?"

On the phone:

"What's your phone number there?"

Less amusing when I tell you the next sentence was "sorry, I meant your fax number".

[Listerfiend]

Well then I'll give the more amusing version--someone actually did ask this. She was asking about various store locations, and asked, "well what's your number in xxxx?" ...
This *is* the store in xxxx.
It's even better because of all the stores in the area, ours is one of the only ones with a number in the phone book.

Even in X town?

While working at a gas station I had conversations like this all the time. They all stemmed from the fact that for the last 10 years, state law says we can't sell alcohol after 1am.

M: Sorry sir it's after 1. I can't sell that.
SC: Even in X town?
M: By state law we cannot sell Alcohol after 1.
SC: So you're not going to sell this to me?



Sometimes I swear the glass was there to keep me from hurting them.

[Neo_Classic]

I work at Home Depot where we wear bright ORANGE aprons and sure enough someone will ask, "Do you work here?" My usual answer is a serious, "No" and then I walk away.

My motto is this: You ask me a stupid question, you'll get a stupid answer.

[mela681]

I used to get "Have you seen my wife/husband?" Usually the customer would realize what a stupid question it was before I answered, though.

[Jadedcarguy]

This one just happened a couple of weeks ago, I'm glad I found this thread because I didn't consider my incident worthy of it's own thread.

As most of you know, I work in the parts dept of a Chevy dealer. This is important.

Me: Wondering why I feel dumber
SW: SlackWit

Me: Can I help you?
SW: Do you sell parts here?
Me: (Standing under a big sign that says "PARTS") Uh, yes we do.
SW: Parts for Chevys?
Me: Yes........................
SW: For my Cavalier?
Me: ALL CHEVYS! What do you need?

My coworker J was trying his damnedest not to laugh.
