Stupid questions you hear at work.

[Metamorpho1977]

Last night, I was at work and a customer came up to me with a can of camouflage spray paint and he asked if the camo colors came out in different intervals.

What questions have made you want to knock someone in the head?

MWA: "Customer's looking for predug fence posts."
Co-Worker: "Ok."

Coworker goes off, as do I. Later I hear him asking, "do we have any predug fence posts?"

 

[Just one more]

"You're telling me, that if I ACCIDENTALLY drop my iPad that it is not covered by warranty? Even if it was a TOTAL accident?"

*cue angry ranting"

Customer: What is the difference between honey ham and smoked ham?
Me: One is honey flavored and the other is smokey.
Customer: Oh.


Customer: What is the difference between the plain and smoked liverwurst?
Me: One is smoked and the other isnt.
Customers Friend: (to the friend) You're an idiot.

My sister to my other sister: "Hey Sammy, did you hear that they're building an outdoor mall?"

My other sister's reply: "Well what are they gonna do when it rains?"


When I was a teenager working in my parents' grocery store:
Old man: "Where's your ice?"
Me:".....in the freezer."

Whenever I tell them we don't have something I get asked "Are you sure?"

What am I supposed to say " No, actually I might be able to pull one out of my ass for you"

I'm usually the guy asking these dumb questions.

Every time a customer asks me if I work here, I feel like saying "No, I just walk around wearing a nametag because I think it looks cool".

At my old job at a florist shop, a customer asked if he was "allowed" to buy roses in any color other than red.

My roommate works at an AT&T call center, and he had a customer ask him if they could e-mail him a phone.

At Dunkin Donuts, I was asked if the coffee was made of real coffee. I STILL don't know what to say.

I don't work here. I forgot I was wearing my Staples shirt today.

haha call centers. I once had a woman argue with me her husband was listening in on her prepaid phones and he hacked the entire base of At&t operations.

 

[Schlosser85]

I think when you ask if you can have a phone e-mailed to you is one of those moments where you need to just back up and replay to yourself what you just said.

When I worked at a video store:

Customer: "Could you check if this movie is late?"
Me: "Yeah, it's four days late."
Customer: "When was it due back?"

to which I replied, "Four days ago."

Does the Big Mac have Bacon.

I work at Wendy`s.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

so... does it?
anyway,i work in a movie theater,where people always ask me what directors hall means, nevermind the big glowing sign behind me explaining it.

 

[Warhammer]

I got the hookup on a summer job at this supply store. I am the cashier and the biggest thing that happens is people throwing a fit because there is a $5 minimum purchase required for credit/debit cards. They'll buy something for $1.49 and throw a fit when I tell them there's a minimum. Then I somewhat condescendingly ask if they want me to explain why there is a minimum. I make people feel dumb almost every time I explain why. Small business have to pay the credit card companies every time a card is used and when any given transaction is something like a dollar, the business itself makes no profit at all.

Didn't anyone ever tell you that you should at least a few dollars in your wallet? Those people who claim that they "only use plastic" are ignorant.

Next time I go to a Wendy's, I'm going to order a Whopper, a Big Gordita Crunch and a McFlurry in your honour.

At my old job, I worked in Sam's Clubs all the time. I didn't work there, I was just a vendor, but people would ask me all the time. I usually told them either, "Nope, I just look official," or, "No, I'm a decoy."

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

i worked at an amc, this guy asked for a popcorn with butter on it when i gave it to him there was no butter on it.

Guy: i wanted butter on this
Me: the butter is on the ends of the concessions
Guy: Oh we butter ourselves
Me: no you butter the popcorn

 

[Halloween]

Doofus - "Where do I clock in?"

Me - "At the timeclock."

*******. The question is valid. I grind up the homeless people I take off the side of the road on my way home from work. They're delicious.

Lol, Big Mac at Wendys takes the Reeses Sonic Blast.

 

[Rhiannon]

I work with kids. This isn't necessarily a question, but I did have a heated debate with a four-year-old about whether or not Spider-Man has a secret identity (Peter Parker, I claimed, and other preschoolers chimed in their support). The young fellow in question wouldn't be swayed in his stance that Spider-Man is ONLY Spider-Man, and this "Peter Parker" I was throwing into the mix had no place in our discussion at all.

 

[Darkness Falls]

i used to work as a trolley boy for a grocery store

customer: "excuse me, i seem to have dropped my magazine, have you seen it ?"
Me: "no, what type of magazine is it ?"
Customer: Well....its a.... *leans forward and whispers* Porno magazine"

A guy came in wanting to send off a box full of adult toys, porn mags, jellies and such. We have to check every box. The only people working that day were women. Talk about awkward for that guy.
