  • I almost wish we did sell them...

    Ten minutes before closing (of course), this woman just had to breeze in to our science center gift shop.

    SC: Wearing huge sunglasses (indoors, might I add), a ton of blatantly fake gold jewelery, and speaking in the loudest voice imaginable
    Me: Unfortunately

    SC: HI WHERE IS THE SCIENCE CENTER?
    Me: *Seriously, it's 10 minutes before closing and I'm fed up with the day* You're in it.
    SC: SO IS IT OPEN RIGHT NOW?
    Me: Well, you're inside it, so yea. *Duh*
    SC: VOICE THINGS!
    Me: What?
    SC: YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE TALKING TOO LOUD!
    Me: I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't know what you're trying to tell me.
    SC: OH MY GOD - DO YOU SELL THOSE THINGS THAT BEEP IF YOU'RE TALKING TOO LOUD?
    Me: No, we just sell science stuff. It's a science center gift shop.
    SC: OH MY GOD - SCIENCE STUFF! UGH!

    And then she walked out making noises of disgust because we actually sold science-related merchandise at a science center. After that conversation, I almost wish we sold "voice things", whatever they are (I've never even heard of them). She could have used one.

    Get the feeling that she wore hers out already?

    Imagine if she asked that question while standing in front of these... things.

    It would have probably sounded like the entire UPS truck fleet backing up all at once.

      Buy a bark collar...in case she comes back.

      Seriously, what she was looking for was likely court-ordered.

          ok, I feel better now. Why yes, I AM a science geek. Whatever gave it away?

              STABBY McSTAB STAB



              hmmm... beeps if you talk to loud...
              like she'd going to HEAR it over her voice?
              bark collar sounds much better, or that sonic-thing that amplifies the bark back at the dog.

                The SC's gotta be dumber than any dog...

                Would her voice give out before the batteries?
