Label Whores
Customer: “I saw in your flier that y’all sell Swarovski crystal beads. Where would I find those?”
Me: “In the beading aisle, ma’am. It’s the third up from the back, and the beads should be at the end nearest the wall.”
Customer: “I already looked there! There aren’t any!”
Me: “Oh, here they are, right here.”
Customer: “Wait… are you sure? Those don’t say Swarovski on them.”
Me: “Yes ma’am, they do, right here.”
Customer: “Show me the ones that say Swarovski on them!”
Me: “These ones right here, ma’am.”
Customer: “No, no, no! The ones that SAY ‘Swarovski’ ON THEM! Not on the cardboard!”
Me: Wait… you want them to say Swarovski on the bead itself?”
Customer: “Yes, of course!”
Me: “Ma’am, these beads are tiny. There wouldn’t be room to write ‘Swarovski’ on them even if they wanted to or could. ”
Customer: “Well, then, why bother?”
