Customer: “Hey, can you help me find this book?”
Me: “Sure.”

Me: “Well, I’ve worked here awhile, and the books are all in alphabetical order by author’s name.”
Customer: “What do you mean?”
Me: “Alphabetical order. Like the alphabet song? You know, A’s before B’s?”

Customer: “The letters actually go in that order? I thought that song was just to remember them all!”
