Top 10 Annoying Customer Questions from the 4th of July Weekend

10. Do you have a bathroom?
(Almost always asked of an employee standing beside the 'Bathroom is for Customers Only' sign.)

9. How much would this be on Amazon?

8. Do you have (insert name of random Right-Wing tome) in stock?
(Answer: Yes or no, depending.)
Oh, I already have it. I just wanted to make sure your store carried it.

7. I bet you sold a lot of Micheal Jackson books this week, huh?

6. I know your sign says, 'Bathroom is for Customers Only,' but I bought a bookmark/attended a free wine & cheese event/fell asleep in one of your reading chairs last year...?

5. Where's a good, cheap seafood restaurant?

4. Are these priced as marked?

3. Last year, you had free coffee and cookies. Do you still have those?

2. I know your sign says, 'Bathroom is for Customers Only,' but this is for a child...?

1. When does your 'End of Summer' sale begin?

Dishonorable mention:
Can I borrow a pen and some scrap paper to write down some titles? I want to order them on Amazon when I get home.

Does this book come on the Kindle?

Ooooh, we get the 'writing them down to order from Amazon' one all the time.

Ooh! Ooh! Don't forget "Do you think I could get a signed copy on Amazon?" That's right up there with "I only need a few pages, so could I borrow your copier?"

"I can return this if I don't like it, right?"

Charlotte said...

this new book- is it in paperback?

"I'm looking for this book, it's blue... Do you have it?"

Ashleigh said...

-"Are these in alphabetical order by author?"
- *shudder* "Yes."
-"You don't have ANY Sue Grafton." *peering like it hurts at the 'R' authors*

Please, someone, tell me I'm not the only sorry soul that witnesses this, day in and day out.
