I don't know if it's the sun or what, but lately I've had a lot of funny customers in the store.
Here are three prime examples of the exchanges I've had.
1: Customer: Do you have any hangers I can borrow?
Me: no, sorry we don't
Customer: what about that fly swatter?
Me: what do you want it for?
Customer: $2.00
2:Me: Hey, I like your shirt [blue shirt with a white cutout of a sailboat]
Customer: Thanks!
Me: Where did you get it? Is is a band? [lots of people who come in wear shirts from their favorite bands]
Customer: [looking down at the shirt and carefully considering the picture] No, I think it’s a sailboat.
I’m glad to know that there are people out there nice enough to pretend something that obviously is a sailboat *might* be a picture of a band
3: Customer [teenage girl]: HI. I'm here to do the WiFi thing.
Me: ok...
Customer: I've never done it before but that's what I'm here to do. Do i don't really know what I'm doing
Me: Ok, well we dont have a password so you shouldn't have any problems
Customer: [after ordering a drink] ....ok so like, where do I sit to do the WiFi thing?
Me: um, anywhere in the store. WiFi is just a signal your computer picks up
Customer: so like, just sit down and plug in?
Me: well, you don't need to plug in really, not for WiFi. If your computer is low on batteries we have plenty of outlets though.
Customer: Yeah I don't really know because it's my friends computer
Me: (at this point unsure what else to say) ok, well you can always sit next to an outlet in case
Customer: ok so, I'll just go sit by an outlet and wait for me drink.
Me: Sounds good.
What are some of your favorite customer interactions?
