Retail Hell Memories: What did she expect to find in a toy store?
From MrTobyDK, Tales From Retail:
This happened a few years ago when I'd just started working at the local toy store, and to this day it's still the most baffling experience I've had during my years in retail.
So, it's a fairly quiet day and I'm working the front end of the store by myself, when a woman enters with her kid. The kid runs into the store (as kids do) while the mom starts to quietly look around.
After a few minutes she approaches me with this white plastic toaster, looks at me, and asks me in all seriousness:
Excuse me, but is this a real toaster?
I then had to explain to this 40-ish year-old lady that "no, it is in fact a toy toaster for kids".
