We have these very bright, fluffy oversized beach towels for guests to use at the pool & beach. It’s common they bring/wear them back to their rooms rather than toss them in the dirty towel bins. We also sell an upgraded version with our logo embroidered at our gift shops for a hefty $70 each. It’s not uncommon for a cheap guest to try returning our beach towels to the gift shops claiming they purchased them & changed their minds. I think they see the towels on the shelves & assume they’re identical to the ones all over the property so they hatch a plan to mitigate the huge amount they spent to stay with us. We don’t even have to ask for a receipt since we can point out they’re not the same product.

I was visiting the owners of a little country store when a lady stopped in. They apologized for it being dark, and said the electricity had gone out a few minutes ago. She said "Oh no! Do you think the eggs are still good?" (In case anyone is wondering, the eggs probably would have still been okay the next day with no refrigeration.)

Not crazy but it was so random: we worked in a little shop selling electronics. One day a short little man popped his head in, very flustered and clearly frustrated and in rush: "I don't suppose you know where I could get a dickie bow, do you?" Well, we did not, sadly...Another one: our shop used to be an Asian hair and nail salon. About a year after that closed an another year after we've been there a lady came in, asking for a hairdo. We told her that all the electronics around her were not decoration, we in fact just sold those, we did not do hair. She blinked a few times, then asked: "And if we go upstairs, then you do hair?"

Stood in front of the eggs, "where are the eggs?". "There madam". "No, the normal eggs". "Sorry, what do you mean by normal?". At this point she's screaming in my face and I know full well what she's after but I'm playing dumb. "The flucking normal eggs, none of your free range or barn eggs, I just want normal eggs". "Do you mean battery farmed eggs?". " Yeah, the flucking normal eggs". "Sorry, we don't sell them any more due to animal welfare issues". "I don't care about the flucking animals, why don't you have normal eggs?". "I'm afraid that's above my pay grade madam, maybe you can write a letter to head office and ask them". Storms off swearing about "useless c***s". This was probably around 1990, and in fairness they had so many complaints about the absence of normal eggs that battery eggs were back on the shelves within 4 months.

I worked in a bookstore. A young woman asked me to help her pick out tarot cards and a book on tarot so she could find out if she was pregnant.

Had a customer call and ask if we sold liquor. I said, "Ma'am, this is a Wal Mart at 10 pm on a Sunday night in UTAH." Please, try in actual liquor store...might need to cross state lines.
