Hi there, just saw something in town I had to share. Doesn't involve customers, well, not directly, but worth telling anyway.
There's a cafe in the town here called "The Sand Witch", it even has witch silhouettes on the front windows and a big sign above the door just so people know its name. Outside, placed in front of the shop, clearly connected to it, is a sandwich board that for the last year or so has advertised "Sandwitches" on the menu. Over time a second sentence has been added to the first line saying variously "Not a spelling mistake", "Not a spelling mistake, think about it", "Not a spelling mistake, come in and ask why" and finally "Not a spelling mistake, if you can't tell why then come in and ask".
That bit alone amuses me, thinking of all the people who can't connect the name of the cafe to the name of the sandwiches but the cherry on the cake is the fact that, for the last two or three rewrites of the chalk sign, they've spelt bagel as "bagle" instead.
