me: Yes it is... (just said that to them idiot!!!)
Them: Do you have books?
me: We sure do.. (no you idiot we have lolipops and construction equipment)
and now their first intelegent but still stupid question
Them: Do you have the books needed for my classes?
Me: i dont know, if you could tell me your class numbers and section number i could look them up to see if theyre in stock...

Customer: "Are these your apples?"
me: "Yes they are" (can't you read the sign that says 'our own' you moron?)
Customer: "Are you sure?"
me: "Yes, ma'am" (no I was lying before you dumb hag)
Customer: "Well they've got stickers on them like they do in the store!"
me: "Well they may have come out of a cancelled wholesale order." (What would you call a facility that sells fruit and various other crap? I'd call it a store! And where do you think the stuff gets stickers put on it?)
Oh man it's a good thing I don't speak my mind too often. I'd get myself in a LOT of trouble that way.

People are SO STUPID. I work on an orchard and I've found that people aren't afraid to ask dumb questions on the phone that they are afraid to ask in person. But some people are stupid in person to.

Evenin peeps!
That reminds me of when I worked at Costco. Those of us who worked in the tire center were a pretty tight knit group, and we'd razz each other every chance we got. So one day I got it into my head to use the shop phone and get an outside line. I then called the tire sales desk direct line.
"Costco Tire Center, ---- speaking, how can I help you?"
me "Uh, yeah, you guys sell tires?"
I can't count how many times I got him by doing that, but eventually he got wise and checked the call id. So then I started calling the Optical department and asked to be transfered to Tires, it would just show up as an intercom call, but he still had to answer "Costco Tire Center ---" just in case the manager walked through the door. So, sure enough, he'd get me on the other end again - "Uh, yeah, you guys sell tires?"
He'd never get pissed off, but I always made sure I called at the most inconvenient time for him ie when I see him going for a pee break, or writing up an order... basically whenever I wasn't slinging tires.
Ah, good times. Sometimes I miss that place.
Anyway, I just had to share that.
