>And yet I guarantee people still stopped him in all seriousness to ask where those items were.

You'd be right. I worked retail for a few years, stocking.

​

Customers just absolutely turn off any higher brain function when they enter the store.

​

I'd have people walk up and ask me where the canned fruit is, as they stand under the aisle marker that says 'canned fruit', while also standing beside rows and rows of canned fruit, as I stock canned fruit.

​

It didn't click, they waited until I told em. And then sadly I did not get a nickle as I added another mental tally notch of 'if it was a snake it would have bitten me hahaha!'

Working at a gasstation, we had a small electrical fire, a LOT of smoke. So I’m waiting outside till the firemen arrive. Had several customers walk into the closed shop-door. Then looking around completely shocked. ic (idiot customer)“Why is the door closed and are you standing outside?” Me: “Well, see all the smoke? Shop’s on fire” ic: “could you then go inside and get me my cigarettes? I need to buy some” 🤦‍♀️

You want the opposite?

If my father was going to send me to the grocery store for 9 items, he would first call the store and make them give him the aisle location of all 9 items.
