The brand name of the sunglasses we sell is that of a dog breed. A customer was browsing the sunglasses rack the other day and got very excited because she had that breed of dog, and the glasses must be especially for them because it said it right on the tag. She even begged me to let her take a pair out and try them on the dog. I told her no, which she accepted, but she insisted on running outside and holding the animal up for me to see. When she came back in to pay for her purchases after the improptu dog show, she sadly informed me that her husband wouldn't let her buy the shades.

SC: I need a pack of Marlboros.
ME: That'll be <price>.
SC: Hmm. These used to be <lower price>.

I was outside changing the garbage when a car pulled up with a small child in the back seat. The driver got out, leaving the car running as he got out and walked toward the store.
ME: You know there's a baby in your car?
SC: I'm just running in quick to...
He didn't finish his sentence, just rolled his eyes, then went back to the car to get the child before using the ATM inside the store.

A guy came in and looked at our cigar rack.
S(toned)C: Oh, they're <price> now?
ME: I'm sorry?
SC: <drops a large handful of loose, price-marked cigarillos on the counter> I bought these last week and I just can't use them.
ME: You didn't buy them here. We haven't had them at that price for quite awhile.
SC: Are you sure? I could have sworn I got them at a <our store name>.
ME: I'm sure, and we're the only <our store> in town. Maybe you're thinking of <store on next street over>.
SC: Maybe. I was really high that day.
He gathered up his cigarillos and left.
