OK, here's a short one for now while I am typing up a long one offline for later (I'm working through my own personal backlog of SC stories, being new here and all). This one didn't actually happen to me, but was related to me by a co-worker from Electronics, we'll call him Lenny. Now Lenny is a really nice guy, soft-spoken, almost never even gets frustrated, let alone mad. Except this one time when I ran into him in the back room just as I'm punching in.
Lenny: You know I think they must put retarded juice in the water in this town or something?
Me: What makes you say that? (I knew this had to be good if Lenny was making a comment like that)
Lenny: Well, I mean, you can't walk two steps without bumping into someone who's retarded here! I just ran into this guy in aisle 5 on my way back here......
SC: Do you guys have calendars?
Lenny: Yeah, they're right there. *points* (they were literally standing right in front of the calendar section).
SC: Well, I dont' want a big desk calendar. I'm looking for more of a wall calendar. Do you have any of those?
Lenny: Yeah, they're right there *points a little lower this time*
SC: Oh, good. And how much would those be?
Lenny: Well there's a tag right there that says $5.99 (or whatever the price was).
SC: Oh, ok. Can I get two?
Lenny: Yes.
Paging Captain Obvious! SC in aisle 5!!!!!!!! Apparently from the moment the SC stopped him to ask the first question, they never moved an inch. It was all RIGHT THERE.
(Don't mean to offend anybody by using the word "retarded." It was the way my co-worker put it, and I think substituiting "stupid" just wouldn't cut it.)
