(I work at a well-known children’s clothing store. It is Christmas Eve. A woman picks up a rain jacket and walks up to ask me a question.)
Customer: “Is this water-resistant?”
Me: “It’s a raincoat.”
Customer: “Yes, but is it water-resistant?”
Me: “Well, it’s a raincoat so it’s kind of meant to be worn when there’s water.”
Customer: “Oh, I see; it’s a raincoat… So, is it water-resistant?”

(I’m a cashier at a local store. A man and a boy about seven walk in.)
Me: “Did you know you have a sticker of an elephant on your back?”
Customer #1: “Yeah, my son here put something on my back a moment ago before walking in. I thought it was one of those ‘kick me’ signs.”
Me: *laughing* “Nope, just an elephant.”
(Overhearing, another customer walks over:)
Customer #2: “Maybe it’s opening its mouth.”
(Customer #1 gets a very confused look on his face and very slowly turns around, obviously trying to understand what Customer #2 meant, as was I.)
Customer #2: “What?”
(Pauses.)
Customer #2: “You know, to say ‘kick me?'”

(Our fries take almost four minutes to cook and a customer has just ordered four large fresh fries. Two people have already told her there will be a wait on them. I notice a strong smell coming from her vehicle when she comes to my window.)
Me: “Okay, ma’am, here are you drinks and your fries will be done in about three minutes. If you just pull forward a bit I’ll bring your order right out to you—”
Customer: “Oh, h***, no! I ain’t waiting for my d*** food! Give me my food now!”
Me: “I’m afraid your fries aren’t done-”
Customer: “I don’t care! GIVE ME MY FOOD!”
Me: “You ordered four large fresh fries-”
Customer: “I WANT YOUR MANAGER!”
Me: “Our fries take four minutes to cook. Two of my coworkers have already told you that you will be waiting on them. I apologize—”
Customer: *still yelling* “I SAID GET ME YOUR-”
Me: *yelling over her* “EITHER PULL FORWARD OR I’LL CALL THE COPS ABOUT THE STENCH OF MARIJUANA COMING FROM YOUR CAR.”
Customer: *suddenly meek* “Uh… I’ll… I’ll just pull forward.”
(I turn around to see my manager staring at me.)
Manager: “I hope to God she doesn’t complain about you because I’d hate to write you up for that.”
