stupidest thing a customer ever said to you...

Also, what is a beer rag?

A towel that I was supposed to have around for when someone spills beer all over the control room. The guy was puzzled when I told him we didn't have a beer rag. His response was something like, "aw man, you gotta have one. We spill all over our shit at home. You gotta have one." He was trying to make me feel guilty. I didn't spill the beer, he did, and I'm cleaning it up.
Does that mean I am a beer rag?

I just read Bradley's new thread "stupidest thing a store employee ever said to you..." and noticed that he retorted with the standard "if you hate your job, don't take it out on the customers" comment. I don't recall seeing anyone in this thread say they hated their job. I know as far as I'm concerned, that's not the case at all. I've become friends with some of my customers. I love that fact. I like my job just fine.

These stories are basically about the stupid things people say to one another. The reason why (whoever started it) started it, is because when you work in a retail position, you have people say the -same- stupid things to you multiple times. See? It's just about the stupid shit that people say to one another... that's all. We don't hate your kind, Bradley... honestly..
actally I started this thread because I was appalled by the lack of common sense,in people who are well paid professionals, none of my customers were general people off the street, they were people who should know golf balls can't be embroidered and thought it would be amusing to here other peoples stories about the same thing,

I had the distinct privilege of working at a "Nobody Beats the wiz" store about 8 or ten years back. Before they ran it into closer...

At the time the Alanis Morissette record was blowin' up... like crazy, and every weary mom or dad was looking for it for their kids, thus pronouncing it completely wrong... just butchering the shit out of it... two of my favorite examples:

"Alien Marmoset"
"Atlantic Warhead"

These were hard to figure out, unless the person knew the song in question... the amount of times i heard 40+ non rockers sing a weird version of "You ougtta know".

I'm not sure how stupid this is, but it's sure interesting. I was working at a cigar store and it was the holiday season. The store was crowded with mothers shopping for holiday cigars for Dad. So, one of our regulars comes in for his usual, a box of Hoyo Excalibur #2's. He is an older Cuban man with white hair and a sinister looking face. So I open up the box for him to inspect the cigars, and he sticks his face right into the box and takes a big inhale. He then says, "Ahhh, just like a young girl's pussy!" The store immediately empties. I rug him up for $80 worth of cigars, but we probably lost about that much from the people that booked out of there!

In retrospect, I should have stepped off the stage and utter-kicked Mrs. O'Leary's cow.
