OK. These girls were neither sucky nor stupid, but what they said was just bizarre. I'd estimate they were 16-18.
Me: Can I help you with anything?
Girl 1: Oh....ah....no....we're all set *looks at my nametag*.............Dave......(to her friend) His name's Dave!!!!
Now, it was busy, and once they said they were all set, I had already taken a step away since I had several other customers to get to, but the way she reacted to my name made me stop.
Me: Yes, that's my name. Why?
Girl 1: Oh, well, it's just that a guy named Dave just broke my heart. It seems like Daves do that.
Me:
Well, I wouldn't do that.
(I did immediately regret saying that, since I realized it could conceivably be construed as coming on to her, though that wasn't my intention, and thankfully she didn't seem to take it that way)
Girl 1: Oh.....ok...well, don't do that to anyone.
Then they walked away.
I went over to Jake - our technician - and related this story to him.
Me: It's not like "Dave" is an uncommon name or anything; you can't paint us all with the same brush.
He just found it hilarious.
Not ten minutes later, I hear someone calling out across several aisles "DAVE!!!! DAVE!!!!"
I looked up and saw these two running over.
Me: Yes?
Girl 1: Oh. we're checking out.
Me:...........
Girl 1: I just wanted you to know.
Me:
..............
Girl 1: Remember, don't be a heartbreaker!!
Then they ran off.
Again, I told this to Jake.
Jake: Are they still here?
I looked over towards the registers and saw them. They waved. I waved back.
Me: Yeah, the two I just waved at.
Jake: Did someone say "sweet statutory?" *laughs some more*
Seriously though, that was just.............bizarre. I've never had anyone say something like that before.
