Bit of background, I work at a mom-and-pop lingerie store in Utah. It's the only other lingerie store besides Victoria's Secret in the mall, and we have a wide selection for most tastes and body types.
So yesterday, I'm sitting behind the counter reading (it's a small store, and not very busy, so the bosses don't really care what we do, as long as we're helpful to customers) when a young woman comes in.
SC- stupid customer
Me- um, duh
SC: Do you guys still have those little thongs you used to sell? (Note, we have a LOT of thongs in all shapes and sizes.)
Me: Well, I'll need you to be a bit more specific than that.
SC: (making a 50 cent piece sized triangle with her fingers) Well, it's like, small.
Me: Do you know what color it is?
SC: (breezily) Oh, any color's fine.
I pull out one of your cheapo "fashion thongs" that we sometimes give away free for promotions.
Me: Was it this?
SC: No, it was smaller than that.
Me: (giving up) Well, unless you can give me any more information, I really can't find it for you.
SC: So you don't have it then? Okay, thanks!
Well, at least she thanked me.
