My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back.' She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.' The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the people at MacD's. We had to have the garage door repaired. The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.' We haven't used that repairman since... I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEAR CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many dears are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.' IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE. My daughter went to a Mexican fast food and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce. I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?' To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?' He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.' The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine. She asked if I knew what the beeper was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'what on earth are blind people doing driving?!' She is a government employee..... When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a service, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. ‘Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!' His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.' STAY ALERT! They walk among us, they breed, and they vote…....
oyvey... it is so true though. I had a customer just yesterday get a bag of snow peas out of the refrigerator and ask "will these get any bigger?" meaning will the peas be big enough to shell later this week.... OH MY GOODNES GRACIOUS HOW DO YOU GET THROUGH THIS LIFE?... was my thought. I had a customer who read my parking signs... and proceeded to park 200 feet the opposite direction and say... I read them, but I wasn't sure where you wanted me to park....
We have a chain of pound stores here and the other week an assistant was trying hard to hold her temper. A customer would pick something off the shelf and ask her what price it was as there weren't prices on the shelves. I don't know how many time the lass has to try to explain that it was a pound store where EVERYTHING cost - you've guessed it - £1.
It was coming near Christmas and just after a big earthquake in Turkey,..outside the Charity Shop it read Blankets For Turkey,..my girlfriend and i passed this shop twice a day and each time she would say,..Blankets For Turkey?,..then look across at me with a puzzled look,..after a week of this she said she didn't get it,..were they giving a Turkey for Blankets or did they need Blankets for Turkeys,..yep she was on another wavelength
It's not just what they say it is what they do, too. Another one of my customers this past week pulled in and parked next to the greenhouse DESPITE all the SIGNS and ARROWS pointing to the LEFT>>. (duh!) I started to tell her she had to back up and park the other direction because we had concrete trucks going through the drive way that day... ( we are under construction, finally, from the fire) just as I said it down the driveway came a concrete truck... you would have thought I just told her we were playing russian roulette and she was the target... She couldn't back up worth a darn. She went from one side of the drive to the other almost running over plants
I was in the grocery this morning, and a lady had her cart parked in the aisle and was standing beside it, blocking the entire aisle. I politely asked her to move, and she did. She moved her cart to the other side of the aisle, and stood beside it. There seems to be a population explosion in La-La Land.
