The most ridiculous thing you've ever heard from a customer

A few days ago a customer ordered a bacon pizza under the name Britney Spears.

I work at Lowe's in the paint department...right next to which there is a Home Depot. Now, keep in mind that when you walk into one of either of these stores, the logo and colors are plastered everywhere, and announcements go on overhead (recordings) constantly stating store names, slogans, etc. So far I've had two people bring in Depot paint chips, at which point I explain that we can try to match the color, but it may not turn out exactly the same (due to our computer system), at which point they get all wide-eyed and say, "You mean this isn't Home Depot?"

Another good one: we see a woman in our, "paint cage," where we keep our mixing bases...customers aren't supposed to be in there.

My coworker asks, "Looking for...?" She, of course, says, "Paint," to which he responds, "Okay, but the paint in there isn't really gonna work for ya."

This is due to the fact that the paint in our, "cage," is a tinting base...tip: don't put an untinted tinting base on your wall. It will look like complete ****.

So her husband comes up, with an obvious attitude, and says, "What?" like he was looking for an argument. My coworker says, "I mean if you pull THAT paint off the shelf, it won't work when you try to put it on your wall."

Customer: Is that so?

*Meanwhile, I do not have my vest on...my coworker does. I'm only wearing my Lowe's hat, being on lunch and all*

Customer: *looks at me, notices my hat* So, let me guess: you used to work here, they fired you, so you come back with that hat on to piss them off!

My coworker and I exchange confused glances, then my coworker understands.

Coworker: This is Lowe's sir...

Customer's Wife: We're not in Home Depot, honey...

Customer: *Bewildered look on his face*: Oh, I uh...hmm...

So he walks off, his wife is clearly embarrassed at his behavior (he seriously sounded like he wanted to start a fight or something), and he drops his ****ing attitude.

Priceless.

Do me a favor: know where the **** you're shopping when you go into the store.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Wow, what idiots.

[Hobgoblin]

Yeah. Some people have a lame sense of humor.

 

[Obi-Ron]

That's OK, my older sister would give the name "Big Bird" when ordering food...this was when she was in her 20's!

 

[Immortalfire]

How many people return letterbox movies claiming they have "defective" black bars on the top & bottom of the screen?

I have overheard that one at the video store.

 

[Obi-Ron]

I knew a guy who managed a Blockbuster and he heard that one all the time.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

One of my teachers in 8th grade refused to buy DVDs since most only came in widescreen and he thought they chopped the top off it.

 

[Tangled Web]

Let's see:
"What do you mean you don't have ice? I have to drink this coffee hot?!"

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I've never had a customer say the DVD was defective because of the widescreen format yet. I have had someone return Memoirs of a Geisha once and go. ''I can't seem to get this to play in my player. I tried it in other players and it's just not working. My other rentals played fine. It seems the disc for that one is thicker. I think it's cause of the thickness of the DVD."

Soooo, you couldn't watch it because the DVD is a fatass compared to it's discling brothers? Righttttt.

In my book store some grabbed Star Wars: Labrinyth of evil and asked:

"Is this before they get on the enterprise"

HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Admiral_N8]

This thread makes me happy I've never had a job like this.

i used to work at a target supercenter and the digital photo developing place and the electronics were right next to each other. i worked in electronics. one day, this really tall guy walks up

tall dude: yeah, where can i pick up my pictures

me: right over there, sir ( i point tot he photo place)

tall dude: uh, but i wanna get 'em developed at THIS store. this is the store i dropped them off at.

me: yeah, just go right over there and tell 'em your name and theyll give you your pictures.

tall dude: but i dropped them off at THIS store, i dont wanna go to another store.

me: its in this store (in my head: its 3 feet away, you f***in moron.)

the tall dude stomps out of the store and as he walks away, i here him whisper "jerk"

 

[ElectroFlare]

It is for that very reason, I don't go to CVS. Checking out at the photo lab all the time is ******ed.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! PLEASE TELL THE CVS CORPORATION THAT THEIR SET-UP SUCKS!

Big queue for tickets at the food stand. Sign downstairs says box office is closed, by a ticket at any till. Customer says 'where do I buy a ticket?'
