So yesterday I was in Electronics breifly and had this lovely exchange:
OM: Old Grumpy Man
Me:
OM walks over and the expression on his face should've told me it was going to be a challenge
OM: Where are the god damn shelves?!
Me: (rather shocked at being yelled at) Well, it depends what kind of shelves you are looking....
OM: (cuts me off) Shelves!
Me: I understand but what are you using them for?
OM: Just shelves! (gives the me most degrading eye-roll and look ever)
Me: Fine, our display shelves are up at the front of the store....
OM: (cuts me off again) Noooooooooooooo!!!! Sturdy ones to hang on a wall or for bookcases of course!
Me: That's why I asked....In that case they're in Home Improvement at the opposite end of the store
OM huffs and starts walking off before I could give decent directions, but w/e I hope he got lost for how distrespectful he was. Grrr...
To cheer me up today I had probably the worst/funniest mistake in hearing a guest request:
SL: Sweet Looking Older Lady
Me: Again
SL waves me down and asks for help
Me: Sure, what can I help you with?
SL: I need to find some small scissors?
Me: Okay, what're you using them for?
(What I thought I heard) SL: I need to cut the nuts off my cat!
Me:
SL: (Stares at me straight faced, expecting an answer)
Me: Uhhh, ummm, we have some sewing scissors an aisle over...
As we walk towards the aisle my mind is racing thinking OMG I can't let her buy these! She then says...
SL: She just get's so scared of the big scissors
At this point I realize she said or meant to say KNOTS! I almost burst out laughing with relief, but I still don't know if she originally said "nuts" or not, and she was probably wondering why I made such a face at her request, but it sure made me smile before leaving work!
