Or at least that is what they think.  Today I learned about a site called notalwaysright.com.  It's a place for workers to vent and post the dumb conversations they have with customers.  Some of them are just too funny and stupid to be true, but I know they are.  For example...


Customer: "Hi, my son says that I have spartans on my laptop and I should bring it to you guys."

Me: "...Ma'am? Spartans?"

Customer: "Yes, I called my son at school and told him that screens keep popping up all the time, and he said that I have spartans."

Me: "Oh! You mean trojans! That's a possibility; let me run this analyzer on your laptop real quick and we'll see what's going on."

Customer: "Young man, my son is in college and he says it has spartans. You just stand here in a little uniform and make minimum wage. I think my son knows what he is talking about."

Me: "You're right ma'am. I was hoping to run a diagnostic and find out that it wasn't spartans, but just by looking at the login screen, I can tell that you probably have about 300 of the little guys running around."

Customer: "300?! Is that bad?"

Me: "It's horrible. They cram themselves into a bottleneck and kill wave after wave of data, until there is a wall of dead programs blocking any more traffic through your computer."

Customer: "Oh, that just figures. I'm going to go buy a new computer."

Me: "Ok, ma'am, I think that would be best."

This game is too hard.



Customer: "I need to return this game. It's too hard for my son."

Employee: "Well, miss, according to your reciept, you bought this new. So, all you can do is get another copy of the same thing if it's defective."

Customer: "Who the h*** are you? I've never seen you before!"

Employee: "I've been here for close to a year..."

Customer: "I've been coming here for a long time, and I've never seen you!"

Employee: "Well, be that as it may, you cannot return the game. I'm sorry."

Customer: "F*** you!"

Me: "Miss, I am the store manager here and what my associate is telling you is true; you cannot return the game and you need to leave. I will not tolerate you insulting my employees."

Customer: "Make me leave, see what happens!"

Me: "Okay, I'll just call security. Will that do it for you?"

Customer: "Call security, I'll call the cops!"

Me: "Be my guest... that'd be awesome."

Customer: "I'm the store manager of [store] across the street and I'd never treat a customer this way!"

Me: "Would you break return policy just because someone is yelling?"

Customer: *leaves in a huff*

Me, to employee: "What game was it, anyway?"

Employee: "... Nintendogs."

I have one, a customer had a wic order and left a loaf of bread on her purse and I kindly asked if she was buying it she said yes, now a normal customer would have let that slide and never thought about it again, but not this ninny she accused me of accusing her of stealing

ah, I remember seeing this site a few months ago.  Fun stuff.  One of my favorites is a good one liner for a pet assistance hotline.


"Whenever my dog pees there is a brown spot on the grass.  Does this mean my dog is peeing fire?"
"I lovat a gabber.  I could listen to maure and moravar again.  Regn onder river.  Flies do your float.  Thick is the life for mere." - James Joyce (Finnegans Wake, page 213)

I had a funny one.  This really fat man comes in and loads up the power chair cart that we have for people to use.  He puts everything up to be scanned and then he tries to use his card, it gets declined for the amount.  We call over a manager to help and we end up calling the bank.  After being told that we can't do anything, he refuses to use another form of payment because he "knows" that the card was filled.  This whole exchange and wait goes on for about half an hour, and he was also shopping for half an hour or so.  He then proceeds to ask the bager, me, for help out.  When I go to his car, I learn that it has been running this entire time.  The cashier just starts going off about it once I get back inside and telling her about the car adds fuel to the fire.

Me: "What can I get for you?"

Customer: "I'll have a turkey sub. No. Ham. I'll have a ham and cheese sub."

Me: "What kind of cheese would you like?"

Customer: "Bologna."
