Instead Of Asking One Hardware Question, Ask All Of Them

I’m a new hire in a large hardware store. It’s my first day working without a trainer answering for me, but instead just shadowing me.

Trainer: “You’ve been trained in most of the departments, so you should be able to handle most customer queries.”

Within a minute, a customer comes up to me and asks:

Customer: “How do I build a house?”

I could not come up with a response. My trainer jumped in and said:

Trainer: “With tools. Aisle seventeen.”

After the customer leaves:

Trainer: “Well, I said most customer queries, I didn’t say all.”
