The Case Of The Choo-Choo Charlatans
(I work as a photographer at a railroad station where people can dress up in old-time clothes and sit in a prop made to look like a train.)
Customer: “Excuse me, does the train still function?”
Me: “Yes, if you go right outside you can buy tickets for the trains.”
Customer: “No, no. I meant that one.” *points to our fake train prop*
Me: “That’s just our background for the photos.”
Customer: “Yes, but does it still function? Can I ride it?”
Me: “Ma’am, it’s a prop. It’s fake.”
Customer: “But is it functional?”
Me: “No, it’s fake. It’s connected to the wall.”
Customer: “Well, that’s just dumb. I don’t know why you have it in here, then!”
