I got the pleasure of dealing with these wonderful people today:
While I was counting furniture tags, I got called to carry out 4 barstools for a customer. I got to the backroom...and only found 3 of the barstools needed for the carryout.
Oh no, I just counted those! I couldn't have printed up an extra tag, could I? I could've sworn I had the right number of tags there...
I loaded up the three barstools and on the way up front I passed the barstool display...and found two pull tags still in the holder. I took them out and stuffed them in my pocket. Got outside to the customer and found one pull tag attached to her receipt.
Yes dear friends, she took one tag and asked for four items. FAIL. Does nobody read the big letters at the top of each tag that somehow manage to spell out "Take One Tag For Each Item You Purchase"?
Me: I'm sorry ma'am, we only have three of these barstools in stock right now.
Customer: What?! I need four!
Me: We only have three. They're on my cart here.
Customer: I want the display then.
Me: I'm sorry, we cannot sell the display until the barstool goes on clearance and the display is the last one left.
Customer: It is the last one then!
Me: Again, it has to be on clearance and be the last one before we can sell it.
Customer: You know, I took all the tags there were there. There weren't any more when I was finished. What kind of store is this if you can't keep track of what you have in stock?
I'm sorry ma'am, I really didn't want to do this, but you've left me no choice. I pulled the two tags from my pocket.
Me: I got these two from the display on my way up. You have one tag attached to your receipt. We had as many tags as items in back. Now then, we can give you a raincheck on the one barstool you're not getting today, or we can call other stores if you need it right away.
Customer's Husband driving their SUV: I don't wanna go someplace else. Get a raincheck so we can the hell out of here.
Customer: Okay. I don't need to get my money back on the last one, do I?
Me: Actually, you should. Otherwise we'd have your money for something you didn't take home with you today.
Customer: Okay, thank you.
Fail With A Side of Pwnage
And then....about an hour later, those barstools were returned because....wait for it....they were the wrong size.
. But this time, Numbnuts dealt with them instead. 
Epic Fail
Geez, what is it about buying furniture that brings out the stoopid in people around here?
