Electronics was really busy today so I was helping them as much as I could with customers, so once again these are all their customers.
A guy asked me for a certain Ipod accessory so I take him to where there are. Since electronics coworker N is there working on the mod the tags are all off, so we both tell him the price is wrong and to ask N if he wants to know the price on anything, so he nods and says okay. And we probably shouldn't have had too much faith in people because he picked a $50 accessory by a $7 tag, and told the cashier and csm that we both told him it was the $7.
Someone called in on the phone, and first off couldn't pronounce "Blue-ray" correctly. But I figured out he wanted a blue-ray player. I asked if he wanted a price range and he asked me to give him a list of them. I thought we had fewer than we actually do so I agreed. I come back with the list of about 8 or 9. I started to read the list to him but he interrupted me before I finished the first one to ask me what the cheapest one was. So I tell him, and then he asks to be transferred to Men's wear. I do so, but if a department doesn't pick up it sometimes comes right back. Coworker N picks it up this time, says the guy sounded really disgusted and asked for Women's wear this time, saying he needed bras.
This was the weirdest, and the inspiration for the thread title. I was over by the movies putting some away when this middle-aged lady came up to me.
SC: do you have that air for cleaning computers?
Me: Yes, ma'am. It's right over here with the laptop accessories. *starts walking over there*
SC: All I saw over there was the liquid stuff, I need the air.
Me: *mildly confused since all we have is the air and wipes* Here it is ma'am.
SC: this? *picks one up and shakes it* but it's got liquid in it.
Me: it just sounds like it because it's in the can. see, it says "moisture-free cleaner" right on the can.
SC: does it list the ingredients? It sure sounds like there's liquid in it. there's sloshing.
Me: ...I'll get one of the electronics associates over here to talk to you.
SC: okay, thank you.
Evidently N had about as much luck as I did because he came to get our opened can of air and sprayed some out on his hand to show her.
SC: but what makes the liquid sound?
N: the air's compressed, so it's heavier.
SC: oh...I didn't realize air could be heavy.
