(I work in a clothing clearance outlet and I’m helping a kid pick out a pair of shoes whilst his mother is on the phone.)
Customer: “How much are these shoes?”
Me: “$100, but we’re having a sale with 50% off the price of
everything in store, so those will end up being $50.”
Customer: “So they’re free?”
Me: “No, they’re $50.”
Customer: “But 50% off $50 equals nothing, so they’re free!”
Me: “No, the original price is $100. It’s 50% off that price, which ends up being $50.”
Customer: “Hey mum, these shoes are free!”

(I am selling a TV to a middle aged man and his wife.)
Me: “So it’s between the 32 and the 36 inch TV, right?”
Husband: “Yes, but I don’t understand the difference between them.”
Me: “Well, they have the same specs all the way down the line. One is just bigger.”
Husband: “Who in the h*** would pay almost $350 more for four more inches?”
Wife: “I would!”

Me: “Thank you for choosing [name], how can I help you?”
(All I hear is the rain falling, so I repeat several times until the customer finally pulls around.)
Customer: “Did you get my order?”
Me: “No, I didn’t hear you say anything, sir.”
Customer: “Oh, well, I didn’t want rain to get in my car. I wasn’t sure if you could hear me through my window.”

(I’m a member of the security staff at a casino, and three men approach to me, one of them looking a little young.)
Me: “Can I see some ID?”
(The youngest one gives me an ID where it says he’s 22. I ask him how old he is just to check.)
Me: “How old are you?”
Customer: “17.” *pauses* “Ah, I f***ed up, didn’t I? I’ll just wait in the car.”

Me: “Thank you for calling [bridal store], how can I help you?”
Customer: “Yes, I bought a bridesmaid’s dress from you a few days ago and I need to return it.”
Me: “Okay. Well, our dresses are non-returnable, but we could do an exchange or I could give you store credit. May I ask why you need to return the dress?”
Customer: “The wedding was canceled.”
Me: “Okay, I’ll see what I can do. Can I have the bride’s name, please?”
(She gives me the bride’s name and I find that the bride hasn’t called to tell us the wedding is canceled.)
Me: “I’m looking at the information now, but it looks like the bride hasn’t told us the wedding is canceled.”
Customer: “Yeah…that’s because she doesn’t know yet.”
