The customer is always right

Read some surreal but supposedly real exchanges between shop assistants or waiters and their customers: http://notalwaysright.com/a-b-c-easy-as-d-u-h/5086

For more, just click on the "random" or the "popular" tab. I was lucky with the "random" one and got a lot of funny ones.

Here's the A-B-C one:


A-B-C, Easy As D-U-H
Bookstore | Massachusetts, USA

Customer: “Hey, can you help me find this book?”

Me: “Sure.”

(He holds up a piece of paper with the title and author of a book on it. I find it on the shelves and hand it to him.)

Customer: “Thanks! How’d you do that so fast?”

Me: “Well, I’ve worked here awhile, and the books are all in alphabetical order by author’s name.”

Customer: “What do you mean?”

Me: “Alphabetical order. Like the alphabet song? You know, A’s before B’s?”

(He looks confused, but then widens his eyes.)

Customer: “The letters actually go in that order? I thought that song was just to remember them all!”


PS. See, don't say I never include anything American. :P
