Powder!

[Teefies2]

Woman walks into the store and yells "POWDER!!!"

I say, "yes ma'am, foot powder, body powder, baby powder?" Because you see, these are all in different locations.

She looks at me like I have just spit in her Wheaties and repeats "POWDER!!!" Then she gives me THAT look, you know the one ....
You're the stupidest person ever to live on this planet and how do you ever manage to breathe. THAT look
"Well you clearly don't know what you're doing! I'll find someone who does!!!"

And off she goes. She next accosts poor S, who has been with the store for all of 2 weeks and screams "POWDER!!!" S looks at me (I've been there 5 years). I whisper "foot, body, or baby?" So S asks her.

Turns out she wants body powder. Now really, was that so hardddddddddddddddd?????????????

She expected you to read her mind because with great powder comes great responsibility.

I would have thrown in powdered sugar just to drive her really crazy.

"Here you go, ma'am...!"

[Crossbow]

"POWDER!"


"Sweet! Let me go get my snowboard and we'll go cut some new tracks!"



What? That's not what you meant?

We got one of these earlier. Screaming for 'lockbox' in a hardware store isn't going to help us get you the right item, and neither is being really rude when we try to get you to clarify.

When I worked next to the admissions office in the military hospital people would come to my office and simply state names, e.g.

Them: Fred Smith!
Me: Excuse me?
Them: Fred Smith!
Me: Fred Smith works in that office there (I'd get up from my desk and point). Then I sat back down.
Them: Fred Smith!

Okay, apparently they wanted me to escort them to Sergeant Smith's desk, which is all of ten feet away and completely visible from my office door, and to which I'd pointed them not five seconds previously.

"The DVD section is in Electronics, but I don't believe we have Powder in stock any more. Maybe it's in the discount bin."

"Here you go, ma'am...!"

lol, just what I was thinking. If this forum had a rep system I'd send you some.

[Mr Hero]

And since you work at a shooting range, you could provide the SC with some gunpowder for interesting results.

1st rule of selling ammo-
NO returns on ammo returned self propelled.

You know it would serve her right if she brought it up to the counter to be checked out and you screamed "MONEY!!!" at her

In a just world, it would work. In this world, the SC would merely complain that you were "RUUUUDE!" SCs generally do not grasp the concept of "do unto others as you would have others do unto you" or "turnabout is fair play".

I'd pay to see that.
