You're Not A Stylist!

A customer comes into my store with her baby in a stroller. I greet her, but she is too distracted to respond. She picks out a couple of pieces and lays them over the stroller.
Jacquie:
may I start you a fitting room?
Customer:
yes, great. Thank you.
Jacquie:
(takes the skirt and two dresses off the stroller and puts them into a fitting room)
Customer:
(continues browsing and takes out a white top. Customer looks around and seems confused all of a sudden) where did I...?
Jacquie:
pardon me?
Customer:
I thought I had a couple of pieces on my stroller.... Excuse me (to another customer) Why did you take my clothes from my stroller?!?
Customer 2:
excuse me?
Customer:
my clothes. I left them on my stroller. Why would you take them?
Customer 2:
...what?
Jacquie:
oh! I asked you if you wanted me to start you a fitting room for the pieces you picked out. So I put them in the fitting room for you.
Customer:
I never asked you to do such a thing please bring them back to me.
Jacquie:
uhh okay...(grabs pieces from fitting room and brings them back out to her)
Customer:
(looks at pieces I brought back out) These aren't the pieces I picked out.
Jacquie:
I'm pretty sure they are...
Customer:
these aren't them!
Jacquie:
well I haven't started any fitting rooms for anyone else...And since I just took them from you about a minute ago..im pretty certain that these are the ones you picked out.
Customer:
(looks at tags) made in china??! Well these definitely aren't going to fit me no matter what size I choose...those Chinese people are so small.
Jacquie:
they are standard sizing...
Customer:
so if I try these on and go out in public after I buy them. And tell people that I got this outfit from this store... And people think it looks awful then I'll come back in here and blame you for making me look silly. Right?
Jacquie:
I'm sorry, I don't understand...?
Customer:
I can't try these pieces on because I have my baby. So if I go home, try them on and they look awful. I'm going to blame you for it.
Jacquie:
you picked those pieces out yourself...I will not take any responsibility for such a thing...if you decide to get it and don't try it on...That's a risk you are taking. Not me.
Customer:
can I refund it if it doesn't work then?
Jacquie:
we do exchange or store credit only. Sale items are a final sale.
Customer:
well that's just stupid. Did you make up those rules?
Jacquie:
no. I just work here.
Customer:
that's what they all say. Maybe you shouldn't be a stylist then.
Jacquie:
But... I'm not a stylist...
Customer:
Exactly!!! (exit customer)
Jacquie:
(WTF??!?!?)

Welcome to Guelph

We were loading into the Shadow where we're playing tonight in Guelph. As we pulled in to the loading zone and started taking out our gear, a middle aged (and extremely rough looking) man opened the back door of the venue.
Steve:
hey, how's it going.
Scary Man:
(blank stare)
Steve continues past the man and brings the gear downstairs to the venue.
Liam:
hey there, how's it going?
Scary Man:
(blank stare)
Liam continues past the man and brings the gear downstairs to the venue.
Jacquie:
hello!
Scary Man:
FAAACK!!!
The fact that you have a no return policy sickens me! You’re essentially hi-jacking my money and forcing me to buy things even though I might not want it. I’m taking you to court!

Chubby kids...?

Customer:
what size is this?
Jacquie:
the tag on the collar should say...
Customer:
all it says is HS? What does that mean?
(Jacquie walks over to customer and looks at tag)
Jacquie:
oh! Haha. It's XS! That means extra small.
Customer:
phew! I was worried for a minute that they created a new size instead of XXL to "Humongous Size".
Jacquie:
Nope, I don't think they've resorted to that just yet..
Customer:
well, just you wait. A few years from now...once those chubby kids get older...
Jacquie:
huh?
Customer:
just don't feed your kids too much cake! You'll be fine!
Jacquie:
uh...okay... ???

Gaydar?

A conversation I overheard while in the ladies room at the movies.
Girl 1:
Hey, do you have a tampon?
Girl 2:
No, sorry just used my last one.
Girl 1:
Shit. I really wanted to have sex tonight.
Girl 2:
Have you guys still not done it?
Girl 1:
No!
Girl 2:
Do you think he might be gay too?
Girl 1:
...I don't think so? I sure hope not!
Girl 2:
what if he was though?
Girl 1:
if this one is gay too...then I'm calling it quits for men.
Girl 2:
You know what they say...fourth times a charm...
Girl 1:
No...That's NOT what they say. It's third time...
Girl 2:
What?
Girl 1:
*sigh* Nevermind.
Either she has really bad judgement or...she has rotten luck. Poor girl...

We're all robots.

This was a conversation I overheard while I was in line at Wendy's. The lady in front of me was ordering...
Lady:
I'd like the spicy chicken wrap please. Do you have those here?
Cashier:
The spicy chicken wrap?
Lady:
Yes, do you have them?
Cashier:
Yes, we do! But are you sure you don't want to try the GRILLED chicken wrap?
Lady:
Oh! Okay. I'll have that then.
Cashier:
Combo?
Lady:
No, thank you. Just the wrap.
Cashier:
Are you sure? It's better value.
Lady:
Alright. Combo it is!
Cashier:
Coke to drink?
Lady:
Diet Coke please.
Cashier:
Are you sure you don't want regular Coke?
Lady:
Okay, I'll have regular Coke. May I have a baked potato as my side please?
Cashier:
Fries?
Lady:
Okay, sure!
Me:
