Yesterday was a day for the ridiculous at the 'mart. No one got in my face, no one called anyone any names, but I got asked really, really strange questions.
#1
C: Is there anyway I can get an itemized list of today's purchases?
Me: Um, your receipt should come out in just a second.
C: Is that itemized?
#2
C: I'm looking for a bassinet, but I didn't see any over in the infants' section.
Me: We only carry one style . . . (Walk her over to infants, show her bassinet)
C: Oh, no. I'm looking for, you know, like, a Moses basket? You know what I'm talking about?
My head: You want to float your infant down a river in a reed basket? WTF?
Me: Oh, sorry. We don't carry anything like that.
My head: You could go over to domestics and just buy a basket. Put a nice fluffy pillow inside.
#3 (phone call)
C: I'm calling about exercise shoes. Do you carry those?
Me: I'm sorry, could you be more specific?
C: I want those exercise shoes. The ones that help you get fit.
My head: Don't all sneakers, when employed during exercise, assist you in getting fit?
(Went on to describe one brand of shoe, like those new Sketchers that are supposed to help your posture.)
There were more, but I'm blanking. Those are definitely the highlights though.
Moses basket. *snorts*
