Last night I heard the Macca's dude on the speaker phone thingy tell a customer that "ketchup is tomato sauce".

I was in Office Max a few days ago, and the guy at the counter checked, double-checked, triple-checked, etc my "qualifications." Then we proceeded to talk about D&D. XD If you really want a pic, not to advertise myself, but my profile does have a link you may be interested in.Alone Disciple said:I think we men want to double check your qualifications as to having amazing xxxx's.

Hey, I tried.
Loser.
I have nothing against looking - not at all. I'm completely comfortable with it, and I find it to be a compliment as I don't take offense to it. What gets to me is being judged and labled as having no knowledge of electronics because I am female. That's all.
But... ketchup technically IS tomato sauce... Looking at it realistically and subjectively, it is. As for tomato sauce that goes on pasta (assume so - I don't know what "Macca's" is), to each his own... I'm not eating pasta with ketchup on it. >.OJamminOz07 said:
Checked it out ma'am. I can see you are indeed qualified.

I used to work at a supermarket customer restaurant years ago and we had this one guy full on yelling at my boss for a good ten minutes that his food wasn't up to standard, finishing with 'I'VE JUST HAD OPEN HEART BYPASS SURGERY TWO WEEKS AGO', as if that actually had anything to do with the quality of the food. What made me go 'wha?' was that, even though he'd clearly had a bad enough cholesterol build-up to need surgery, two weeks later he goes and orders the biggest fried breakfast on the menu.
The worst part is my boss had to apologise to him even though he was being a total penis and the fool got a free meal and a £20 voucher out of it.
We also had a regular who told outragous lies for no reason - he'd won millions on the lottery but lost his ticket, he'd seen someone getting shot in the face outside a pub, he'd just been released from prison as he was 'like Nelson Mandela' (no idea what he was on about with that one) and my favourite - asking for the Head Office address so he could write and complain because the drilling outside during a store refurbishment was making his teeth fall out

I used to work in a zoo, one afternoon while I was cleaning out a lion enclosure this dude comes up to me and starts talking about animals, as zoo visitors often do. Then out of the blue and in complete seriousness he asks
"So, in your professional oppinion, who would win in a fight between a lion and a tiger?"
Me, trying to keep a straight face had to explain that that would never happen as lions and tigers come from completely different parts of the world. So he then asks;
"But arn't lions the king of the jungle?"
I may have choked a little at this point trying not to laugh out loud and had to explain that this was just a nickname and that lions don't actually live near the jungle. What makes it worse is he was standing in front of the interpretation board that said exactly where the lions came from.
Also, we had a young lioness that was injured as a baby and walked with a limp. We'd put up a big sign saying that she wasn't in any pain and was able to live quite happily and we still got people asking "well isn't she in any pain" The best one was a lady was asking up about her and after having explained for 5 minutes that she was okay she then said
"well there should be a sign or something!"
I looked at the other keeper who was with me and almost at the same time we both pointed at the sign, not 3 feet away from her and said
"you mean like that one?"

I used to work in a supermarket that was open 24 hours except on Sundays. It was just after closing and an employee and I were waiting for another employee that was one of the Customer Service Managers. It was amazing how many people would smack themselves on the door.
Next time I am at a store wearing my work shirt (my company has polo shirts) and a customer asks me a question, I'll answer it wrong. That sounds like fun.

i work at a soccer store. one lady came is and asked for hockey equipment and another came in and asked for butterfly nets. oh, and every now and again people would call and ask if we sell soccer shoes. it manages to piss me off everytime.
I have a trillion but one that came to my head all of a sudden is when I worked in a campus bookstore (not even a cool bookstore) and students were totally lost as to how to find what books they needed for class even though it was given to them in their orientation booklets, they ran a quick seminar on it, AND there were instructions posted around the store. I got tired of it so one day when a girl asked me, "How do I know what books I need for class?" I had two words for her.

The world is overrun with stupid people folks, and barring a nuclear war I'm afraid it remain so.
this thread is making me very very thankful I have not, am not, and in all likelyhood will not worked/working/work in retail.
My friend works in Morriosns, on her first week, I found her and asked:
"Where's the inflatable dartboards?"
"Where's the flameable water?"
"Can you go get me a long stand?"
"Where's the invisble ink? I can't find it anywhere..."
She still has the job, don't worry.

If I launch one, remind me to warn the fellow escapists members to join me or go underground.MONTGOMERYWOODRUFF69 said:
I know somebody who works in tech support.
Anyways, one day he got a call from some guy who was ranting on and on about how he had bought a computer from the company my friend works at, saying that he had been sold a wrong cable.
"What kind of cable did you order?"
"Female 25 pin on one end, and male 25 pin on the other."
"And what had you been given?"
"Male 25 pin on one end, and female 25 pin on the other."
"Errm... Sorry sir, can I put you on hold for a second?"
*Puts on hold, lots of laughter*
"Try plugging the ends into the other sockets."
"Wow, that worked! Thanks!"

Another time, I overheard a conversation in a shop.
"How long is the 14-foot Ethernet cable?"
