Some final customer stories...
Apr. 17th, 2006 01:08 pmI have only two days left at the book store. I ended up giving the required two weeks' notice, but since I had already taken a chunk of time off to go to L.A, my manager just told me not to worry about my final two shifts that were scheduled for next week.
In honour of this, I present some more tales of clueless customers.
1. A guy phoned the story wanting to find out how to learn Cantonese. You see, he had just gotten involved with a Cantonese woman and wanted to learn to talk to her. His previous girlfriend was Japanese. He identified himself as being "into Asians." I got so uncomfortable that I handed the phone to a coworker, who told me he would never forgive me. If I ever have to listen to another Asiaphile tell me his romantic history, I'm hanging up the phone.
2. An old German guy came up to me and said in a very thick accident- "Do you have Stephen Harper?"
Me- You mean his biography?
Guy- His book. He is our new president. The book was on a table a while ago, but it's not there any more.
I search on the computer and find the book.
Me- It's upstairs, in biographies.
Him- Why did you move it up there? Why did you move it off table? Why do you move them around?
Me- Well, you see, we put the newer books on tables.
Him- Why do you move them around? Oh you mean, that book is old? (Heads upstairs)
3. Customer on phone- "Do you have the Da Vinci code?"
Me- "Boy, do we ever!"
