Busy day, typical really being as it's heading towards "that" time of year, bloke comes in, wanders by the desk and just muttered something which I didn't catch. I assumed since he didn't stop walking or repeat the mutter, that he was talking to himself. Sadly not.
CM : Clueless moron
Me : *waves lil flag*
CM : I SAID, got any interesting books?
Me : ...*blinks*...um...excuse me?
CM : Need a book for my wife. Needs to be INTERESTING.
Me : ok...what sort of thing are you looking for? Fiction or non-fiction?
CM : Interesting books.
Me : Right. Perhaps you'd like to look around and see if there's something that catches your eye? *looks hopeful since clearly we're not going to win with a description*
CM : I need an INTERESTING book.
Me : Um...I think we're going to need to narrow the field a little sir...
CM : I'll look around. *wanders off*
He spent about 10 minutes aimlessly wandering about, all the while muttering to himself and creeping out all the other customers to the point where three of them actually left, casting him weird "wtf" looks and then seemingly randomly picked the cilla black biography up and dumped it on my desk. I ring it up, he spends a good five minutes making a massive show of hiding his pin number from me, cos, obviously, when he leaves I'm going to clone his card and go on an ebay spending spree
Leaves...then comes back not 2 minutes later asking for a refund cos he thinks his wife's already got it?!
My money's on "fruitcake" *sigh*
