I don't get many sucky customers and this guy mainly amused me more than anything. Like a lot of other big retail stores our batteries are located on endcaps at the front lanes. I see a man standing there looking confused at the batteries and this is our conversation.
Me: Hi, can I help you find something today sir?
Sc: I need rechargeable batteries.
Me: Alright which size rechargeable battery did you need?
The rechargeable batteries take up half the endcap we're staring at and come in sizes anywhere from AAA to D
Sc: None of the ones here. I need the ones that only take 15 minutes.
Me: That will depend on what type of charger your using. I do have double and triple A chargers that only take 15 minutes.
Sc: No the charger does not matter, only the batteries. my charger takes 2 hours and that is to long. Get me the 15 minutes batteries.
Me: The batteries I have here can take as little as 15 minutes but its going to depend on the charger that is used with them.
Sc: No you don't know what your talking about. Get me someone who works in the battery department.
Me: We don't have a battery department, all of our batteries are on this display.
Sc: Then get me someone who knows the most about batteries in the store.
As far as I know we have no battery expert and I know about as much as anyone here
Me: Sir we don't have anyone who specializes in batteries and out of the people currently here I probably know the most about batteries.
Sc: You don't know anything, I saw the batteries on the internet and they said they could be recharged in 15 minutes with any charger.
Me: I'm sorry sir I've never seen or stocked batteries like that.
SC: Fine, I'm leaving and you have been no help.
After he left just to reassure myself I checked with everyone who was working if they knew of batteries that could recharge in 15 minutes with any charger. Everyone there had the same answer I did, it depends on the charger. On the positive side he did amuse me for the rest of my shift.
