Customers Say Really Ridiculous Things
Coffee shop story:
Lady: Could you make me that thing?

Lady: I can't remember, but it was really good. Could I just get one of those please?
Another time this old lady came back, loudly slurping on her coffee as I took care of two people. My manager was standing next to me when she said this:

She turned and left in a huff.

Keep in mind that Best Buy is an electronics STORE.
