Today's goofballs

[MoonCat]

This old guy called to place an ad. We went through the routine. Every so often he'd repeat himself or mumble. I'd say "Excuse me, what?" And every time, his answer was, "Sorry, I been drinkin' a lot of beer."

This was before noon.

Then there was the woman placing an ad for kittens. Go through the routine, etc. I quote the price. "Oh, never mind, I thought there wouldn't be a charge..."

Through the whole conversation she sounded half-asleep. I looked at her account. Deja vu! She did this exact same thing two years ago (and I talked to her that time, too!)

Ever have one of those days when every customer you deal with is either very, very old, very confused, or both?

What are you, kidding? You've just described what happens every day at my job. They are truly the living braindead.

Every once in a while there will be a streak of customers all making the same mistake. Not a super weird mistake, but not one which normally happens many times in one day. For example, over the course of a shift multiple separate instances of people completely forgetting how a queuing line works. You enter over *here* and wait *here* for the next cashier. Simple? Not some days! Some days everyone enters in the wrong direction, or they walk up and try to create their own line behind one cashier or empty register. Yet other days people have no difficulty at all with this system.
