I really have to ask this question... You work for a wireless company that of course deals with Cell Phones and such! what do you tell a customer when they walk into your store and say

"Um do you guys carry Cell Phones?"

I remeber the first time heard that question from a customer and I didnt know what to say at first then a chuckle followed by a "yeah we got cell phones right here " and the sad thing about it is the customer was right in from of the cell phones...

what is the weirdest thing a customer has said to you?!

I've had a couple of marriage proposals, one from a French-Canadian (I had a translator on the line as I am not fluent but speak reasonably good French. The translator was outraged.)

And then there was creepy stalker hiccup dude who asked me if I smoked, what color my hair was, how long my hair was and how tall I was.

I've got a couple.......


"I'm here to pick up my glasses"
Well, it's apparant you need them, I'm no where near the opticians office, and the big VERIZON WIRELESS signs on the side of my building must not be big enough for you.


"I don't like the apple iphone. Do you have the bananna or orange one? My buddy told me he's gettin the orange one. " (customer thought apple = red, bananna = yellow) Nevermind that I sell VZW.. I think his buddy knew he was ignorant and sent him on a goose chase.

the only time the banana and orange iPHones are available are when those particular fruits are in harvest season (apples- fall, banana-spring, strawberry-june, etc...)

Yesterday a guy called, from what sounded like a bar, to ask me what he needs to do to get a phone. When I got to the credit part he says "I don't got good credit cuz of a bill." So I asked if he had previously had service with us and not paid the bill. He says "No, it's a medical bill that I ain't got the money to pay. What will that mean?"

I don't know, I am not sure how everything affects the credit.
"Well what do you think of a big hospital bill?"
Sir I am not sure, we would have to run credit to find out.
"So then which deposit do you think I would get?"


It just kept going and going. Finally he mumbled something about coming in right away to run credit. He was out of his mind.

Customer wanted to place an order over the phone and after asking some informations, when I asked for the credit card information he said " what the hell, am I so dumb that I will give you the credit card number, so that you can take all the money out of it!!!" Well I guess the customer described him well..
