This one happened yesterday while I was out, and well it's hilarious. Not sucky, just funny. Very funny. I'll try to describe the chain that led up to this, it's one of epic fun.
While at my Ace Hardware (which was crowded yesterday) I happened to catch this conversation. I must admit even then I had a good laugh about it. It all started with a simple knife and a salesman that was trying to get it for a customer.
M=manager
C=Customer
S=Salesman
M. "Oh, you don't get a warranty with that. You'll have to talk to case."
C. (looking confused) "But, I just need to..."
M. "I know I know it's confusing, but I can't warranty it. You'll have to talk to Case.
C. (Looking increasingly confused. He looks at me and then back to her.) Uh...but..
M. "So, do you want the knife still? I mean I understand if you don't.
C. Uh...I dunno...
S. (looking at manager) Uh, Dee? Who are you talking to?
M. (realization seems to dawn on her) Wait...are you buying a knife?
C. Uh...no? (he looked a bit afraid of her by this time)
S. Dee. Uh, he's not the guy with the knife. I...I don't know who he is.
C. I...I uh, I wondered if I could return this washer?
The manager looked at him, looked at the washer and then started to laugh. "I'm an idiot! Of course you can return that washer. I'm sorry hon I thought you were someone else."
As he walked away, I couldn't help myself. "Just remember to call Case about your warranty for the next one!" The customer looked back at me and just laughed, shaking his head.
