I wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so I decided on Sightings. If it's the wrong place, go ahead and move.
Not really sucky, just vastly lacking common sense.
Yesterday at work, I had a person (not customer, she spent no money in the arcade) come in and ask, and I quote, "Do you have any machines that sell cigarettes?"
Bear in mind this is in a state where cigarette vending machines have been outlawed for the better part of a decade, and she's asking this in an Arcade that's half ticket games (Family Entertainment Center, FEC, technically).
As I'm about to explain this, she says, right after my "No, ", "Where can I get some cigarettes here, then?" (Backstory, the mall my arcade is at has banned smoking on their property. Everywhere on it. There are signs about this at every entrance.)
At this point, brain-to-mouth filter slips, and I respond "You won't find cigarettes for sale anywhere in a mall that's utterly banned smoking on the premises for the last year and a half".
