Customers say the DARNEDEST things! Part 2 (merged)

Dude, seriously.

First of all, the reason your Movie Gallery closed was because it was in a freakin' MALL!! I doubt whoever approved that lease is still working for them, either.

Second of all, Ali Davis did it first and best.

We once had a guy ask if we sold stamps.

I've had someone ask if we had tanning beds as well. What drives people to ask these things?

I have no idea why, but video and tanning go together.

I have never been able to figure it out, and no one (and I have asked just about EVERYONE in the industry that might know) can tell me why, but somehow, video and tanning were put together, and work.

Hell, I have even had a couple of stores that had tanning beds.

Cust: "Hello... do you have that new game yet?"
Me: "Um... which... one?"
Cust: "Errr... the new one. Er, the driving one!"

He makes a driving motion with his hands.

Me: "Ah, err... there's lots of driving ones. Any idea which one?"
Cust: "Oh, it's er... GT... GTA..."
Me: "GTA? Grand Theft Auto?"
Cust: "Yeah."
Me: "Okay, do you know which one you want? There's quite a few..."

... none of which have been released lately.

Cust: "No."
Me: "Right, well, there's San Andreas-"
Cust: "Oh, wait, it's 'stories', something."
Me: "Liberty City Stories? Vice City Stories?"
Cust: "I don't know."
Me: "Which console do you want it for?"
Cust: "I don't know."

Sigh...

Customers in my area are morons and need to take some english classes...

Cust: (holding a stack of PRP) do dees become scratched?
ME: They can if they are not taken care of (I understand perfectly, just being an asshole).
Cust: No, doday BE-COME Scratched?
ME: Yes, they will BE-COME scratched if not taken care of...
Cust: No, if I buy dis, will it become scratched?
ME: Again ma'am, if you buy these and do not take care of them, they will become scratched.
Cust: NAW, I mean, if'in I buy dees, (waving stack of prp) will they become scratched?! (Now getting pissed)
ME: Okay ma'am, I don't know how I can make this more clear... you are asking me if they "will become scratched" (using the sign to quote what she said with my fingers).
Cust: YEAH, thats what I said, will they become scratched?!
ME: Yes, they will "BECOME SCRATCHED" if you do not take care of them...
Cust: You ain't makin sense.
ME: I am sorry, I am trying to communicate to you as best as I can, I am trying to answer your question to the best of my capability, but your question is odd.... because as with everything, if it is not taken care of, it will become damaged, and in this case, the DVDs you are holding will "BECOME" scratched.
Cust: Whatcha talkin about mane, I just wanna know if I buy these, they become scratched.... dats it

Customer behind current one steps in to spoil the fun...

Cust2: I think she is asking if they are come scratched when she buys them.
Cust1: Yeah.
ME: Oh, well thats something completely different. You asked if they can become scratched, not if they are scratched.
Cust1: No I didn't...
ME: You asked me if they "Become Scratched"....
Cust1: NO I DIDN'T
ME: You're right, I was missunderstanding you thats all... and to answer your question, no, they do not "Become Scratched".
Cust1: I''ight... I see a sign for 4 for 20... is there a 6 for 20.....
ME:
