Quote of the Day: Not Always Right
This story reminds me of my flowers story:
Customer: “Hi, do you have any safety vests?”
Clerk: “Safety vests?”
Customer: “Yeah. Safety vests.”
Clerk: “Like the ones that are neon yellow with reflective stripes?”
Customer: “Yes! A safety vest! Are you an idiot?”
Clerk: “Uhhh, no sir, but we’re a science fiction bookstore. You’d want a hardware store for that kind of thing.”
Customer: “Well, why DON’T you sell them?”
Clerk: “Because we sell books.”
Customer: “Well, you should!”
Clerk: “I don’t think many of our customers would normally want a safety vest when they come into a bookstore, sir.”
Customer: “Well, I did!”
Customer: “Hi, do you have any safety vests?”
