'Mama'? This lady was your mother?

I suspect it was a typo and she meant ma'am.

So you don't know the hours for every single store on your street? That's terrible customer service.

You should have asked the woman if she's knows the phone numbers of every neighbour on her street.

I often get phone calls at work asking for the opening hours of other stores in the same shopping centre. Because of course, I AM the Yellow Pages of Barnet. *rolls eyes*

As soon as I read "mama," my mind heard the voice of the father penguin in Happy Feet for the rest of the post.

I often have people ask how late Target is open. Although, like Target, we are a large dept. store, we are NOT the same store. Besides, Target is beside the shopping mall about a mile away.

I usually respond with, "No I'm sorry, but I don't know how late Target is open"

Then, usually said with a hint of disgust: "Wha? You close at the same time, don't you". Again, perhaps I should stress that we are NOT Target.

"Um, we're open 24 hours".

"oh"

i get worse than that all the time
guest- "do you know the rates at marriot"... note, I work for one of the largest hotel companies on the planet (actually it is the largest if you count the number of rooms, not the largest by number of locations though... and yes, that actually does make sense), but, marriot is a completely different chain all together.

I work in a restaurant and we get lots of calls wanting to know the hours or phone number for the grocery store across the street, the bakery down on the corner or the gas station around the corner. Drives me nuts!! Call 411 for information, idiots. Or better yet, get a phone book! They seem to do this so often when we're extremely busy. And then get upset when I tell them I don't know and I'm too busy to find out for them. Geez!

I've just recently had a woman ask me if the cafe next door did take-a-way.
Since the window/wall next to the counter had a clear view of the cafe's sign, I had a look at it for her (I had remembered it saying take-a-way a while ago, but I wasn't 100% sure).
Sign only said the specials, so I told her that she might be better off going in and asking for herself.

I'm still lost on that one. She came into a clothes shop purely to ask that question (and waste her time ).

I once had somebody ask what the fishing was like. I didn't have time to go fishing that day, I was too busy working.

(The store I worked at back then is in a seaside suburb, but too far from the ocean to have an ocean view. We didn't even stock fishing gear because when we did we had maybe one sale a year.)
