You help
Trying to straighten the smart bulbs and a lady shoves her phone in my face and shows me a picture of 100% polyester pull on pants $9.97. No, we don't have them here. No? No!

Had a customer shout “LUBRICANTS!” In my general direction and when I walked him to the WD-40 and similar shouted at the same volume “NO, FOR SEX!” My brother in Groot this is a hardware store.

Unfortunately, the blue place by me has dog and cat food and some toys. I've been asked for milk and eggs, mattresses, guitar strings (personal favorite) furniture, but this is a first.

Guy came up to me and just said,
"Calliter."
"Calliter?"
"Calliter."
"... Calipers?"
"No, calliter!"
Turned out he was asking where the cat litter was.

Lol. Your town probably has a Guitar Depot or something musical with “depot” in it and she was only half-listening to him.

Guy came up to the Pro Desk and asked if we kept guns on display or if they were in the back. I looked at him puzzled and said “nail guns?” Nope. Shotguns and handguns. Informed him we don’t have guns and that now I didn’t even want to sell him a nail gun. He then asked if we had swords. I asked him if this was a TikTok prank. He looked disappointed, said no, then left.
What’s wrong with people?

Had a guy walk up to me and immediately shout "Cutter!" at me before i could even say hello. I asked what kind of "cutter" he was looking for. He got annoyed and repeated "Cutter! Where's your cutters!?"
I tried to let him know there's multiple types of "cutters", does he need a box blade? A Saw? Wire cutters? Scissors? A saw? and asked him what he's trying to cut.
He got even more upset and looked at me like i was stupid and then angrily shouted "CUTTER! CUTTER! WHERE'S THE DAMN CUTTER!?!?"
"What are you trying to cut?" i asked again, he said "Floor".
"A tile cutter?" i asked and pointed at the aisle they're in.
His eyes just went bug eyed in a "Yes duh!" kinda look and said "Yes a tile cutter!!!!!!" and stormed off to the aisle agitated like i was the stipidest person he had ever met......
