Retail-Pharmacy. I work in the retail half.

Junkie: Excuse me, do you work here?
Me: Yes.
Junkie: I lost my ID and the RX wont sell my the syringes I need for my 'diabetes.' If I give you the money can you buy them for me?
Me: Uhh... no, i'm sorry. I work here, I cant do that. I'll get fired no question.
*some pleases from her, no's from me*
Junkie Walking Away: *sad voice* oh my god yes you can.

So after the sales guy leaves, I was like homie you gotta go, you can't be asleep at work. He goes "Why not? It's not like we were doing anything" I just gave him a stone face.

The most wild thing ever asked to me in a store was, "Do you where such and such product is?" Problem w/ that though, I was at Sephora with my gf, and if you've ever been in there, they wear all black. I was wearing a navy blue and gray striped sweater. And I am a 6'1 285lb black guy. So I was like "no", and girl gave me the nastiest look and went over to a manager and pointed at me. I was just like lol, what is wrong w/ people.

So like 2 years ago I had a customer I had to help out with, I go up to him to help him out and the first thing he says to me.

"Did you get stung by a bee?"

I'm like ummmm no.

"Oh, because your face looks puffy and swollen."

Seriously who the hell says this to a complete stranger? And I had my beard fully grown so you couldn't even see my face...

 

[Rick Sanchez]

Do I speak Spanish?
I dont like white or black...

 

[dmvbatman]

When I used to work at a grocery store I'd get this tooooo many times.

customer: dude, how do you get outta here? like where's the exit?
Me:

the same way you came in
customer: oh, thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of that.
Me:

the way the store is designed, you can park down stairs in the garage and walk up with the stairs or take the elevator up...or if you are walking, you simply walk in and use the elevator or hit the stairs, then you are at the top floor (the grocery part) smfh.

Was out a bar downtown for my sisters bday. Paid my tab and the waitress comes back and asks if I do coke. I never have and am all drunk and confused. I guess the magnetic strip on my debit card had white residue on it. But who asks a complete stranger that?

Customer: *Points at $40 price tag* Is this picture $40??

i work in social services and i cant tell you how many times a day i have to deal with this kind of question. we've created signs...hanging signs...in english and spanish with arrows and everything pointing to the customer services desk, i work in energy. they all will come to my desk read the sign saying customer services begins at the other desk look over at where customer service actually is either not want to deal with the line or assume i enjoy answering stupid question and will say hi is this customer service? or ya'll took away mt food stamps or is this social services? so *!*#*%$ annoying. sometimes i try to like just not look at them once i see that they have read the sign so they wont bother me with their dumb @** questions and get the hint that they arent supposed to come to my desk but they just linger around waiting to catch my eye.

 

[jaymosenvied]

When I worked at lids.

Customer: How much does this hat cost?

Not exactly ridiculous, but I thought it was damn hilarious.

Old lady: Excuse me sir, I'm looking for some candy.
Me: Are you looking for anything specific?
Old lady: Anything hard...So I can suck on it.
Me: (At this point, I'm looking for Steve Carell to pop up) *Pauses*...We...Have...Lemonheads?

in High School (15-16yrs old) I worked at TCBY, I was wearing a red work shirt, some little 11ish yr old kid walks up to me decked out in yellow and ask me if I was a "Blood," I told him no but he should ask some at Target(across hall in same mall) if they were, he walked by every 15mins or so and stared at me for the rest of the day

I am a courier and I get that "what is it?" when I drop stuff off.

..how The ##!@ should I know? I just deliver it.

Also when I get to security booths at buildings they ask where you from? While I'm wearing my work shirt that has the company name on it.
