What An AA-Hole
Customer: “Does this thing come with batteries?”
Me: “Yes, sir. They’re in the box with the toy.”
Customer: “What kind of batteries does it take?”
Me: *Reading the box.* “It looks like AA’s, sir.”
Customer: “How do they go in?”
Me: “There’s usually a slot at the bottom.”
Customer: “I know that, but how do they go in? Are there instructions?”
Me: “Just match the positive ends of the battery to the positive symbol, and the negative ends to the negative symbol.”
Customer: “How will I know which end is which?”
Me: “The positive end has a plus symbol, and the negative end has a dash, or minus symbol. Would you like me to put the batteries in for you?”
Customer: *Sneering.* “No need! I’m perfectly capable!”
He came back about an hour later, to a full store, pushing to the counter and screaming.
Customer: “You sold me a piece of s***! I should sue this place for fraud!”
As he’s ranting, I wordlessly open the battery slot, flip one of the batteries around, and it turns on.
Customer: “…You did that on purpose to make me look stupid!”
Me: “Sir, I can assure you that you don’t need any help from me in that department.”
