That is so funny, and what a great comeback. I can never think that fast on my feet.

Good one. Reminds me of a grocery store clerk I went to a few years back. Apparently a college student that had skipped Jr High!! I purchased a bunch of banana's that were priced at 3/1.00. The clerk looked at them, placed them on the scale and didn't know what to punch into the register. I told her they were 3 for 1.00 (3 pounds for 1.00) and she took them off the scale and started to count them. I then suggested she punch in .34 a pound just to give her brain a rest!!

A teacher just recommended that I get a ham to press open the seams on my One Block Wonder blocks. I guess I'll go to Krogers . . . ROFLMAO

Boy, I wish I could think that quickly. A teacher once said, "the people working in stores are not hired because of their knowledge!" I find that true not only in fabric stores but also home improvement & other types of stores.

She proceeded to tell me how horrible it was to do that all day. Told her she could go on my unemployment and I would cut her fabric with a smile and thank people for comming. Whats up with rudness today???

It's horrible! It seems that the employER would let them know what is expected of them and if they can't abide by that -- oh well, toodle-oo! I have found that as I get older, the work ethics of the younger employees gets worse and worse. I've come across so many employees who don't mind letting their "mood" show. Just 2 weeks ago, I told a young lady who was cutting yardage for me, "I would love to have your job." It didn't phase her in the least.

OOOH, I am still laughing!!! Too funny! Since I am an official old lady I haven't had anything that funny happen, but I do get some of the sweet but patronizing and/or rude attitudes that some young like to direct toward the old.
I have some enjoyable moments though whan a very young clerk is having a problem calculating 10%, or 25% or 50% off with the calculator & I tell them what the answer should be & they give me that look that is saying "OMG" she must be a witch!"
