Folks in retail, what is the dumbest question a customer has ever asked you?

[Aura]

some chick came 5 mins before closing, when we already have everything put away and covered, and exclaimed, "I MADE IT!!" she wanted around the store until 5 mins after closing and then went up to my coworker and sneered, "are you impatient? you look like you want to go home." BITCH WE'VE BEEN HERE ALL DAY, OF COURSE WE WANNA GO HOME. but the thing is that my coworker didn't show any sign of her impatience and was just leaning against the counter, waiting for her to finish up. she was trying to get a reaction out of us. she just replied with "oh, no, I'm fine. customer service smile "

What a pro your coworker is!

I, however, am no longer allowed to legally work in retail..

I'm not a pro.

"do you work here?"

my other favorite is when youre behind a register with the bloody light turned on and ppl still ask if youre open. (looks up at light, looks down conveyer belt, back at them.) NAW.

I've asked that sometimes but I've explained because I was thinking about applying.

A long long time ago when I was still 14 and barely legal I worked part-time in a fast food restaurant. This lady yelled at me for not giving her son a straw for his cola

Not really a question but one of the funniest things that has ever happened to me at work.

We were two people working at an IT Reception and there were 3 customers. Out of nowhere enters another customer, on the phone, very stressed out.
He had some kind of issue with his Windows working slowly and wanted it fixed asap. Since there were other 3 customers he had to wait for a while.
After ~10 minutes he freaked out, slammed his laptop on the reception table and his windows froze completely. He had just fcked up his hard drive..

I can't remember the dumbest question, but I always hate when they want to start a conversation and ask: The weather is nice today, isn't it?

UHM yes I know....... I'm working all day so I won't see anything of it..... thanks.

I worked at a Burger King for a few years that had a really testy broiler. It's supposed to run off natural gas. Our store only had a propane line (fun times).

A few times a year it would just stop working. I would have to say something along the line "I'm sorry, but we can't serve any beef products right now because our broiler is down. Would you be interested in trying -insert chicken product here- today?" I swear to god A SHIT TON OF PEOPLE would be like "So that means I can't get a fucking whopper?" and "Can I still get a hamburger?"

Sure! Let me serve you raw meat so I can watch you get sick.
