    Unsolved Mystery Shopper

    | Nashua, NH, USA |

    (A customer walks up with a shirt.)

    Customer: “Is this what she was talking about?”

    Me: “Who?”

    Customer: “My daughter, is this what she was talking about?”

    Me: “I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    Customer: “Why? I just want to know if this is what she was talking about.”

    Me: “Were you talking with me about clothing?”

    Customer: “No, I was talking to her at our house. Is this what she was talking about?”

    Me: “Ma’am, I wasn’t with you last night when you were talking with your daughter.”

    Customer: “Oh, I know. But, is this what she was talking about?”

    Me: “Yes, yes it was.”

    Customer: “Great! I’ll get it!”

    Perhaps It’s Because You Drive A Hummmvee

    | New York, USA |

    (I have a sticker on my car that reads “Caution: Driver Singing”. I pulled up into work when a customer tapped me on the shoulder.)

    Customer: “Hey.”

    Me: “Um, hi?”

    Customer: “I thought so! You’re that girl with the singing bumper sticker, aren’t you?”

    Me: “Oh! Yes, I am.”

    Customer: “I passed you in the parking lot at yesterday. You weren’t singing.”

    Me: “Oh, well, I’ve had a sore throat.”

    Customer: *completely serious* “You should always be singing, you know.”

    Me: “Um…”

    Customer: “In a car like that, you should always be singing so your sticker doesn’t lie!”

    Me: “Well, the other day when you passed me? I was humming.”

    Customer: *perfectly happy again* “Oh, really? Well, that’s alright then!”

    Yukon Spend It

    | British Columbia, Canada |

    Me: “Okay, your total is $189.14. Cash or credit?”

    Customer: “Cash.” *hands me $200 American*

    Me: “Oh, I’m sorry. We don’t accept US currency.”

    Customer: “Why not?”

    Me: “Because this is Canada.”

    Customer: “Last time I was in Canada I used American cash.”

    Me: “Well, sir, that place probably accepted different currencies. I can only accept Canadian.”

    Customer: “I don’t have any! I only have Visa.”

    Me: “We accept Visa.”

    Customer: “Wait! Let me get this straight: you won’t accept my American cash, but you’ll accept an American credit card?”

    Me: “Yes.”

    (He throws the card at me. I swipe it through and he gathers his bags.)

    Customer: “This is ridiculous. When did Canada get its own currency, anyway?”

    Always Right, Unless There’s Not Enough Light, Part 2

    | Sacramento, CA, USA |

    Me: “Hello there, sir. How can I help you?”

    Customer: “I’m looking for batteries for this calculator.”

    Me: “Okay, but just so you know, that calculator doesn’t really need batteries. It has little solar panels right on the front that power it.”

    Customer: “Solar panels? I want to use this calculator indoors!”
