    the most stupid thing a customer has ever asked me…. it’s a tie between the following three:

    – “do you sell weed?” (it’s a pipe store. we sell tobacco.)

    – “is this a guitar store?” (there’s not a single guitar on the shelves….)

    – “i just moved up from florida, and my friend’s letting me live in his garage. i don’t have a job. …. wanna go out?” (uhm…. even if i wasn’t already married, hells naw! oh yah, i was a full decade older than this loser.)

    .. I work in HMV, and this bloke came up to me and asked “Do you sell DVDs”. If he had been standing in the music section I would of forgiven him but as he walked in, he had walked through the complete DVD section and countless meo’s containing DVDs to ask me. One word. Retard.

    I work in HMV, have done for far too long and this’ll be the first of many;
    “scuse me mate, do you sell those big cd’s”?
    i reply, “Big cd’s? surely you dont mean laser discs”?
    he says, Nah mate, you know those things they play in clubs”
    in complete shock, “Do you mean vinyl”!?!
    “Yeah, i think, is that what they call ‘em…”?

    … when i worked at the local cinema, a bloke came to box office, bought the ticket and then asked “Where is the cinema?” I simply replied, “You are standing in it o__O”

    Oh, and it is not a stupid remark but there is a regular who goes by the name “Daddy DVD” - makes me laugh everytime I have to reserve him a copy of something hah.

    I work behind a bar at a very busy bar/restaurant just outside Glasgow. This isnt so much a stupid question as simply a plain ridiculous thing to do. (I apologise to anyone who has the same taste in hot beverages as the woman who asked me for…)

    … a de-caf skimmed milk cappuccino with no chocolate.

    I felt like asking her if she just wanted a glass of dirty bath water instead.

    i work in primark in poole, i’ve been asked things like ‘how many floors are there here?’ even though they are stood next to an escalator, and there is a sign saying where things are on different floors…

    here is one I heard from a city bus driver ( obviously not retail but still involves stupidity none the less.)

    an old man got mad because the bus driver didn’t know about a certain bus route. the old fart says ” you should know every route your a bus driver!”

    but thing is that they dont in my city there are drivers that regulate certain areas such as the west or north end.

    so being witty the bus driver replies ” can you tell me where all the senior homes are?” and the old man got pissed and told him F**** you. I thought that was sooo funny.

    it’s the same thing if you work in a department store there are people in different departments, yet customers assume you know every damn department.

    so since he’s old he must know where every senior home is right? or perhaps all the bingo halls?

    old peole think teenagers are rude but they are a hell of alot worse.

    ~standing next to potato scones~

    “Excuse me, do you have potato scones?”

    And not just one person doing this either, loads.

    Also:

    ~I’m moving rolls and bread, clearly a bakery girl~

    “Excuse me, do you have these duvet covers in a double?”

    Yes mam, I’ll bake you a double right now…

    Man, to me, pointing to a mobile phone on display - “Do you sell that”

    Me - “What the fuck do you think, you fucking knuckle dragging, in-bred imbecile? It is on display, with a price on it, in a fucking SHOP!!!!!” I wish. In reality “erm, yes” *wanders off confused wondering how said man can be capable of putting one foot in front of the other without having a complete cerebral breakdown*

    Aaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
