JOTD - Truth is stranger than fiction, you cant make this up.

You didn't know about James, no harm meant! It's like going into a fast-food place=they always ask, "dine in, or to go". Bojangles, can't even start your order, before entering -which! But go to any other fast-food, & tell them it's to go, or dine in,,, they'll take your order, & then ask you, "dine in or to go"! "MEATHEAD"! Same thing on exchanging money=don't give them any odd change! I did that once, to get even dollar back, don't recall the details, but I got my change back, + 99cents! I just stood there dumbfounded!:confused:

update...and spoil sport.
I went to the lowes in question and I met James.
James should not have been put on the phone. I am sure James is trying very hard but he is a community out reach hire. Talks pretty normal, but obviously has limitations.
Now I feel like a dick for laughing at the handicapped guy.

You didn't know...........and I respect you for letting us know the rest of the story!
 
We've had some interesting moments at the Cart with new help! A professional Server agreed to help at one of the events, she is a great server and can take 8 or 10 orders at a very upscale restaurant and never write anything! I explained to her to take it slow and speed would come naturally(after all it's only a Hot Dog right!). Well here comes her first customer.............he say's mustard, ketchup, chili and slaw. She does it PERFECT! except she left out the dog, he didn't ask for it! This happened four times with different customers! She finally calmed down and was fantastic! Dylan and Snappy can tell you it's not easy but it can be fun!

i like to go in and when they tell you "your total is $7.58", give them some random amount like $8.71 and they will end up calling a manager
 
I bought mine from lowes. Had to replace the stupid elements 4 damn times. 2 times i did it myself just went and picked up the elements under warranty. then had the stupid tech support guy come out cause they kept blowing. idiots charged me and it was brand new with a 5 yr warranty that i purchased. Never even hooked up the power till after 10 mins of letting the water run though and come out the bath tub *Farthest faucet in the house* Lowes and appliances suck. I've had better luck with HHGreg sorry didn't mean to jack..
 
I wouldn't worry about laughing I do stuff like that all the time without meaning to. My wife and I went to the movies and the guy taking the tickets before you went in had a speech impediment. We showed him our tickets and he mumbled something to which I replied, "sounds good chief". i was trying to be nice by saying I understand what he said but it sounded like a I was being an ass. I laughed once I left his sight.
 
I work at a tire shop. One day my buddy down the street (at another garage )called to say the ''intern'' was on his way up to borrow the ''tire stretcher''. The kid comes in serious as hell, ''They sent me up to get the ''tire stretcher!'' With a straight face I said, ''Ya'll borrowed it a month ago and had'nt brought it back.'' He says ''OK, I'll look for it and send it back when we're done with it.'' Still have'nt brought it back!
 
My hubby works there and the stories he brings home are FUNNY. I was there when an employee (we will call joe) got tired of helping a lady in the cabniet section and when the lady said "well will you at least check downstairs?" so joe said "ok, hold on a second." he went to countertop section behind them (that said "employees only" walked behind the counter and started doing the downstairs walking action. (no steps) he stays on the floor for about 2 minutes, then does the walking up stairs action and said "well ma'am I could not find any, but I hope you have a good day"
 
When I was in the service I worked in the supply squadron on the flight line ( where the hangers are ). When we would get a new person in obviously we had to mess with them but one guy fell for it every single time. We would have them driving around to different shops or searching the hanger for hours trying to one of three things; a metric crescent wrench, K-9 P, or a piece of runway/flightline. For the K-9 P we told them to see if the cop shop had any to spare. We always had a good laugh at them for awhile and they were usually good sports about it.
