Baaah-laboring The Obvious
Customer: “Do you have any kid’s shoes?”
Me: *thinking she’s referring to a similar-sounding brand* “Yes. They are right over here.”
Customer: “No, not these. Kid’s shoes!”
Me: “Oh, I’m sorry. The youth department is over here.”
Customer: “No, not kid’s, kid’s!”
Me: “I’m sorry, are you looking for the brand, or kid’s shoes?”
Customer: “Kid’s!”
Me: *showing her the brand* “Is this what you are looking for?”
Customer: “Yes. Do you have them in kid’s?”
Me: “No, we do not have kid’s sizes.
Customer: “I am not looking for kid’s sizes! I am looking for some to fit me!”
Me: *confused* “These are our adult shoes… The youth section is over there.”
Customer: “Do you even know what a kid is?”
Me: “No?”
Customer: “A kid is a baby goat! I am looking for shoes made out of baby goatskin!”
