- "Oh, no thanks. I get enjoyment just looking around and drinking your coffee." Response to whether customer wanted to receive our infrequent mailer.
- "Do you have a garbage can? My daughter just started her period."
- "Are these the only credenzas you have?" I think the word "credenza" is hilarious. Especially when it is made plural.
- "I could never work here. I'd spend my whole paycheck." This is not a new quote. People say this all the time. But it never gets less ridiculous.
- "Must be nice to be in a business with people lined up to get in." A woman said this to me when I opened the door 2 minutes before opening time on Sunday. What amazes me is that people get irritated that we generally stick to our posted hours. The staff's hours are carefully budgeted. If we started keeping the store open for kicks, we wouldn't last long.
- "Do the scales know carbs?" She was talking about kitchen scales for dieting. The notion that scales could sense what food is on them is absurd. There are other scales which might know carbs, though not in the way she meant . . .

haha, I just have to say that I find all of your posts hilarious. I work retail too and can relate to almost every single one of these quotes and other customer annoyances that you have reported. If we don't laugh, we cry right? Thanks for sharing the laughter that we must have in order to maintain our sanity while working retail!
