There had to be DUMB in the water today.
I was working in electronics, and had a call. The first thing the woman asks me is where she can rent movies. Um...you call a retail store to find out where to rent a movie from? I told her we have movies you can buy(it's not my job to know where you can rent a movie) and she still insisted I tell her where to rent movies from, and I suggested the only place in town that I knew of, since both of our blockbusters closed down.
Then she asked if we had a certain movie, and I didn't quite understand what she said, so I asked her to repeat it, and she did, but in a way that seemed like she thought I was 2 years old and had just as many brain cells. Not to mention spelling it out SLOWLY. I can understand the word, I just didn't understand YOU the first time.
After a while I got cold(I'm in Florida, not super cold, but they don't have on the heat or AC, they're just blowing in air from outside, which is chilly right now). So I put on my sweater. You could still see my red shirt and name tag poking out from under it.
A woman walked into the department, and I said "Hi, how are you?" like I do to almost anyone. She smiled but looked kind of confused. I know I get kind of confused when I see employees in clothes I don't expect to see them in, so I thought that was the case, and she just thought I was a random person. So I said "Do you need help with anything?" As she's walking to the phones behind me. She just kind of looks at me, and looks past me, then walks past. Uh..ok then.
After about 10 minutes she comes up to the register with a phone she picked out. She asks "I saw a sign when I came in that all appliances are 50% off...does that apply to this?" ..meaning the phone. I guess you can technically call it an appliance, but those signs she saw are clearly marked for the LARGE appliances. Washers, dryers, ovens, etc. Not phones. And wouldn't you think there would be signs by the phones if they were on sale?
She bought the phone anyway.
Oh and just something that bugs me. I wear a name tag. My name is Kelsey. It bugs me when people look at my name tag, and still manage to call me the wrong name! "Thanks Kelly!" "Thank you Chelsea" ...Really?! I never use someone's name unless I'm SURE I know it. I can understand over the phone and sometimes you don't always hear everything correctly, but when it's right in front of you!? Ugh!

Didn't last long though. Cheaper rental places (which oddly enough, are also gone!), and DVD sales put an end to it. Some smaller stores, mainly in the rural areas still have video rentals. Mainly because of nights when there's nothing to do in the trailer park
