Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() So, I'm shopping at my local Apple store (nothing bad about Apple, just the idiot working the register) and go up to purchase a new charger for my iPod. I hand him my credit card which has my photo and signature on the front. On the back, in the signature bar, I have written "See Front". Well he says, it has to be signed on the back or I need to show him ID. I look at him dumb-founded. I turned the card over and said "Look! My signature is on the FRONT, right next to my PICTURE!" "Well, sir, it is our store policy to ask for your id whenever the back is not signed." I was so close to actually saying: "You ARE the stupidest person I have ever met." But instead I just showed him my license. On the way out, I said (rather loudly) to my wife, "You are not going to believe what the idiot behind the counter just made me do." Go ahead. I dare you guys to top that with your "stupid sales clerk" story. |

Wife, Mother, Friend. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() it still surprises me how many of them cannot make change unless it shows up as a number on the register. I went to Walmart....and they honor other ads. There was a special on 10 for $10.00. I bought three (since ten was a limit). She had to turn around and "how much is this, ten for ten bucks, how much for three?" Same thing again with a different price, but this time it was like 2 for 5bucks. She really held up my line and I was wishing I just could of gone to the other store. I didn't want to make an extra trip at the time, but..... gee! |

Elite![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() i have "check ID" on the back of all my cards. I've had it on there for 5 years now and i can count on one hand how many times I've been asked for ID. I think I win for stupid clerk tho: I was at Wendy's the other day and ordered a meal. It came out to just over $5, so I hand her a $10 and wait for change. Now this was a very busy day too. She hands me back the change part and closes her drawer, but no bills So I ask her if I can have my $4. She gives me a stupid look and says "what $4?" So I explain, I gave you a $10, I get back more then a few coins. I am still shocked by the next words out of her mouth. She said "but you paid with a $5." I was speechless. I got change back from a meal costing more then $5 when I paid with a $5? To which she said yes. So I got a manager over and he asked what was going on. I showed him the recipt and explained it to him. I paid with a single bill, the only possible bill that could be would be a $10 (unless he wants to give me change for a $20 or a $50). Instead of handing me my $4, he decides he has to count the drawer down. After losing count twice, then coming up $50 short the next three times, he just handed me my $4 and wished me a good day. To top it all off, they screwed up my order. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() vortmax - 2005-11-29 10:57 PM i have "check ID" on the back of all my cards. I've had it on there for 5 years now and i can count on one hand how many times I've been asked for ID. i always get the CID on the card, and then i ask for it and the person is like... "whoa you actually noticed... let me get my ID." i only say the procudure thing BC the new "kinkos" thing i have to do is offer EVERY customer a proof. hi, your one copy you want, do you want to see a proof, which would be your complete order... if yes... your proof will be ready at blah blah bah, if not, can you sign here. Hi you want one copy of one page... did you want a proof? have to ask, as dumb as i look, BC my boss told me too! |

Champion![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I was at Wal Mart and Gatorade was something like 79 cents for a quart, while the gallon jugs were 3.99 so I decided to stock up on a lot of quarts. I must have bought 20 of them. Register Clerk: We have this in gallons, you wouldn't have to carry so many. Me: It's cheaper by the quart. Clerk: Oh, it never is, the gallon is more economical. Me: Gallon is 3.99, quarts are 79 cents. Clerk: Well, it's your money I guess, but I'd buy the gallons. I gave up and that point and said "Well I just hit the Lottery, so it doesn't mean much." |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Dim on the part of the Apple clerk, I must admit, but wouldn't you rather have them error on the side of rule-stickling in that case? One of my all time favorites, although not a clerk... I had just finished telling one of my friends a story that ended with the line, "and I almost spilled my gin and tonic." To which my friend, who is plenty smart, but having an off day replied, "what goes in a gin and tonic? Vodka?" That was almost 6 years ago, and she has yet to live it down. bts |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Here's a dumb customer story: when I was in the national honor society in high school, we sold donuts on Friday mornings. We advertised them as 50 cents or 2 for $1. You'd be absolutely amazed at the number of people who went for 2 and not because they wanted two donuts. Unreal... |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() A few years ago, my cat had a litter of kittens that I needed to find homes for. I advertised in the paper, "Free Kittens. Ask about our two for one special." There were 6 kittens and we gave them away in pairs........ |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Oh I have a good one. We have this pizza joint back home in Ashland KY where I am from. I used to order a large pizza with beef and extra cheese all the time (in my fat days). I ordered that one time and the girl over the phone says to me "uh we dont have beef the only thing we have in hamburger". I sat on the other end of the phone dumb founded and then she says "uh is that alright" and I said, "it is the same thing". She says " no it isnt, beef comes from a cow"... I just hung up and called somewhere else. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I overheard this in Taco Bell a while ago Guy hands $2 bill to pay Clerk: "Sorry, we can't take this" Guy who wants tacos: "What do you mean you can't take it?" Clerk: "We only take American money. There aren't any $2 bills" Guy who wants tacos: "You're kidding, right? It says United States of America on the top" Clerk: "Sorry, but it's not real, I can't take it" Guy who wants tacos: "..." Eventually the manager came over and took the $2 bill and him some tacos. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Heh. My favorite dumb moment (not a store clerk, but still good): Driving along the road, my friend Kelly turns to me and says "Hey, how do you think they get the deer to cross at the sign?" A paused for a minute and then replied: "Dunno Kel. There must be a government training program for it." Hee hee. Everytime I see a deer crossing sign, I giggle to myself. |

![]() | ![]() A few Christamases ago, my husband's step sister was talking about how bad beef was for her. "Like, ohmigod, beef is TOTALLY gross" (oh yeah, she was 25 at the time). Hubs talks about a good steak, and that lead to a hamburger comment. SS says "Ohmigod, beef is TOTALLY unhealthy, I don' t eat it... except for hamburger." My husband and I just looked at each other in unbeliefe. Really, if you are going to eat beef, eat a good cut, not hamburger! |
