Toy Story: The College Years
(I work in the electronics department of a children’s toy store chain. My coworker in customer service is busy, so I decide to answer a phone for her.)
Me: “[Store] electronics, how may I help you?”
Customer: “Hi, I was wondering if you guys had any adult electronics in stock.”
Me: *oblivious* “Well, the latest Grand Theft Auto came out on the newer systems this week, and so did Dragon Age.”
Customer: “No, I’m looking for adult electronics.”
Me: *suddenly cluing in on what she means* “Oh… oh, I’m sorry, [Store] doesn’t carry any toys of that nature. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Customer: “Yeah, what other new stuff do you have in?”
Me: “Uh… I guess Bionicles are new?”
(She then asked me questions like “How do you get wood in Minecraft” and stuff like that. I’m pretty sure that question was a euphemism.)
Question of the Week
Has a customer ever tried to cross you and lived to regret it? What happened?
