*Blink Blink* Wut?

[Department stores *sigh*]

An amusing exchange between me and a customer today.

Cnot a sucky customer)
Me: Friendly Neighberhood Cronie

C is asking for a Queen size bed we have up in the steel. Protocol is we cannot bring a fork onto the salesfloor as it poses a safety hazard.

Me: I'm sorry sir, we can't drop it for you right now. An option is we can drop it for you at close today.
C: You can't get it now?!
Me: Nope
C:*stares right at me.......blink........blink.......blink.....blink. ....*
Me: *perplexed so I stare right back.......blink.......blink......blink.....*
Me: *after about 10 seconds of this* Erm......long silence?
C: Alright I'll be back at 5.

Just an odd scenario and my co-worker an aisle over who heard the exhange was laughing his butt off.

Maybe if I stare hard and long enough and use my special mental powers, you'll do it now, Staaaaaaarrrrrrreeeee.

Damn nothing.

I always wonder if people think they can hypnotise you or use jedi mind powers or something when they do this. "You WILL get me what I want!"

When will people learn that the Care Bear Stare is much more effective?

I read Queen Size as Size Queen on first glance, and this whole thread went to a scary place for a moment...

Do you think perhaps the blinking was subliminal morse code? Of course, that only works if the person on the receiving end understands morse code.

Actually, to avoid that I would have told him, "anything else?"
