Customer Stories (funny now, then not.)

My manager was looking for a coworker, a customer overhears that a coworker cannot be found and exclaims "oh, he must be in a corner somewhere smoking a joint." *No lady, the guy was in the back doing his job.

Another lady calls, my supervisor picks up, "Can you go across the street and tell me what time Comerica Bank is open until." "Sorry, even if there was a Comerica Bank across the street, I could not do that for you."

People are precious. Add your own stories to this thread.

 

I work at a photo lab, and the only thing that comes to mind at the moment was when a woman asked if I could print enlargements off of her index print. It was funny (or maybe just unbelievable) then and now.

 

I was doing landscaping work over the summer and a couple of amusing things happened:

A lady wanted to pay us to kill all the squirrls in her garden.

My boss was using a ditch-witch and accidently destoyed an entire city sidewalk. He then drove to Home Depot, bought a lot of cement, and instead of doing the job, we ended up fixing the sidewalk all day.

 

I work in a bank and yesterday I had someone come in to do a cash advance on their credit card....so after I spent about 20 minutes explaining to them the difference between their debit card and their credit card I went to do the cash advance but it didn't go through...because they had had their credit card for 6 months but never phoned to activate it...despite the fact that the card comes with a giant sticker that says "before using this card you must activate it by calling this number." Of course by this point we had closed 10 minutes ago. I was amazed.
