Any way, her favorite question was the person who asked for the book, "about the 200 hundredth anniversary of Mt. Rainier." There was also the clerk in another book store who wanted a copy of Catcher in the Rye and specified the hardbound. My human explained that we were out of the hardbound, but we had a bunch of the mass market. The other clerk said, "Oh, I didn't know it was out in paperback yet." Okay she digresses... But she does want to hear more about the naked paper delivery service... My human female worked in retail for awhile at a bookstore.

I have too many stories to tell, as I've worked with the general public my entire life. But here's a good one... Back in the late 80's, a friend of mine was the mgr of a chain of drive thru convenience stores (Dairy Barn for those of you from Long Island!). I was dropping by for a visit, and an old man walked up to the drive thru door and said, "Hey, mister... c'mere!". He walked over and asked "what can I do for you?" The old man replied, "Ya got any teeth?". My friend, loving this, choked back a laugh and said, "I'm sorry, any what?". The old man said loudly (and wth attitude), "YA KNOW, TEETH!" and proceeded to tap his front teeth three times with his finger. My friend politely said, "Um, no, we don't carry teeth sir, sorry about that..." The old man threw his hands up, shook his head, and scoffed at my friend, and walked off into the sunset...

I worked in retail for many, many years... yes, it was it's own form of hell - I'll agree to that LOL! I've got no stories to top that one... except maybe the one where I was working as an assistant manager at The Gap and got whacked across the head by a would-be shop lifter... that did me in - got out of retail for good. Once bodily harm started to be part of the deal, I knew it was time to go! Oh my god that is too funny!
