Customer Complaint Website (mention of Zombies)

[mutepointe]

Here is an interesting website. http://notalwaysright.com/

Here is a post at the website:

Jane Austinpocalypse
(A teenage customer and his girlfriend are at the checkout.)

Customer: “Does the original Pride and Prejudice actually have zombies in it?”
Me: “Um, no, but we have Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies, which has zombies.”
Customer: “But the original Pride and Prejudice doesn’t have zombies? It’s like, a love story?”
Me: “Yes. It was written in the 19th century. No zombies.”
Customer, to girlfriend: “See, I told you so!”

My wife works at a metropolitan police department and take police reports over the counter and over the telephone. It's hard to believe some of the things she tells me that people have told her during the day. Of course, there are all kinds of reports from people who are mentally ill, where their reports make absolutely no sense. Then the are the call-back robbery reports, where they forgot to mention certain stolen items when they placed the original report. Of course, they forgot to mention the diamond rolex watch worth $10,000 that was stolen. Also, one man called to file a crime report and confessed to stealing one of the items that had ostensibly been stolen from him. All things considered, it's a circus out there, folks.

People routinely leave their purse with money and all of their credit cards on the front seat of the car. They seemed shocked when the car is broken into and the purse taken.

My personal favorite from when I worked in admissions at a greyhound race track:

Me: "I want to make sure you are aware that tonight it's standing room only" (Because people would be oblivious to the huge signs we'd post stating that).

Customer: "Standing room only? Does that mean there is no place left to sit?"

Me: "Yes. You'll have to stand."

Customer: "That's OK. I'll find somewhere to sit."

Me: "There is no place left to sit. And there no refunds on admission."

Customer: "That's fine. " (Proceeds to buy admission)

15-30 minutes later, Customer returns to my window.

"Um, yeah, I'd like a refund. There's no place left to sit in here!"


Unfortunately, variants on this conversation happened pretty much every night it was SRO. Sometimes several times in one night.

Am I correct in assuming most of those folks are from Illinois?

This has been supremely entertaining. But here's a bit of a turnabout that tickled me:

Elixirs Of Everlasting Life Are On Aisle 5
Retail | Evansville, IN, USA
(While ringing up a customer, the computer flags cold medicine and asks for age verification.)

Me: “Sir, I need to verify your date of birth.”

Customer: “Why?”

Me: “You’re trying to buy medicine and I just need your date of birth to confirm you are over the age of 18.”

Customer: “Oh. April 20th, 1420.”

Me: “Sir, I really need your actual birth date to continue.”

Customer: “4-20-1420. Put it in.”

(I enter the date. The system accepts. I look in disbelief.)

Customer: “Told you.”

I'm going to try that.

Well, we didn't check ID's at the door, but, yeah, I'd have to say the majority were flatlanders.
