    Default Close Encounters with the Kinda Dumb

    So I am walking around my local Walgreens, picking up a few household items, minding my own PJ business, when a middle aged type woman storms up to me and says damn snotty-like "You know I cant find ANYTHING since you people moved everything around! Tell me where you keep the handsoap!!!"

    Mind you, I am wearing jeans, t-shirt, sneakers, open winter coat, baseball cap backwards, and I havent shaved in two days. This person, for some reason I have yet to fathom, thought I worked there.

    Not feeling particularly surly, I responded "Sorry, I dont work here. Im just a customer".

    Then, the response that shows that she made a mistake because she is an idiot - "Oh well then, why are you walking around here like you own the place?"

    I then reply "Becuse, gosh, I just love what they have done with the place", and walked away.

    The best part is that she had to stand behind me in line when I was checking out.

    And why did you move all of the stuff around? Don't you know she can't be bothered to look at the isle lables?
    Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
    Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.

    Stupid people cant be bothered to LOOK. I can't tell you how many times at a casino I used to work at how many people walk up to me and say where is the bathroom?? How do you politely without making them LOOk like a dumbass say "your standing next to it"

    LoL thats like when I worked at Sobeys(grocery store) and I was walking back from break and this woman stops me and goes 'I cant find anything here! Where the hell is the milk!?' I looked at her calmly and said 'Miss its right in front of you' and it was, she was standing in front of the dairy cooler

    I have to admit, I can never find anything in stores. I'm one of those dumbasses, though I'm more polite about it.

    <---Guilty. I get lost in malls. I have to go to the exact same grocery store every time, even if it doesn't have everything I need or I'll wandering the isles forever....

    PJ, could you please make a better mapping system for me? K. thanks.

    I can be a dumbass too, but at least I preface my "help me" question with, "hey, for some reason I can't seem to find..." or "I'm sure it's really easy to spot but for some reason I can't find..."

    I've gotten this too. I usually dress casually (y'know... jeans and non-heel shoes- most of the time) and it's almost always some snotty middle-aged dressed-up rich housewife lookin bitch. And GOD they're so snooty.

    But yeah, I can't find shit either. But my request DO start out with "Miss/Excues me..." and end with "thank ya very much..."

    My wife gets it all the time. I think it's funny because shes too nice to not help them.

    I used to get this all the time when I worked at Wendy's. I would go to the neighboring KMart to shop on breaks and since both I and KMart had red shirts, this happened all the time. No matter that one was bright red with KMART on the front of the vest , and one dark burgundy with WENDYS across it and a matching visor, which KMart employees dont wear.

    PJ, you should have told her, "there's a government restriction on hand soap...the terrorists you know...you need ration cards now."
