So I've been working at a bookstore for like 9 months now, and there are some things people say every day:
Do you have a bathroom?
Yep. Back of the kids section.
Where's the Starbucks?
Right over there, with the big Cafe sign.
There's no one at customer service/the register/downstairs.
Yes there is. We're not allowed to stand behind the register/desk unless we're working on something back there, so chances are they're shelving a book or helping a customer. Give it 30 seconds. (But is there something I can help you with?)
Do you price match?
No.
But on your website it's only $__!
We literally can't even price match with our website. Yes, it's dumb. Sure, I'll definitely tell my manager that we should get that fixed. As if they don't get that complaint every day. We have no power to change anything.
Do I use the chip?
I literally just told you to use the chip if you have it. Please listen.
Can I check out here?
No. This is customer service. I can walk you to a register though. It's about 10 feet away.
I guess it's free then!
Hahaha you're so funny! No cashier has ever gotten tired of that joke ever!
A million dollars. (or alternatively) The winning lottery numbers.
I asked you if there was anything else I could get you. From our store was implied.
Do you carry (insert nonsensical item here)?
...No, we don't carry diapers. Or t-shirts from your favorite sports team. Or whatever it is this time. This is a bookstore.
