I want to go and see if I can ask questions humorously stupid enough to qualify for inclusion in this thread!

The Friday before Thanksgiving.

Me taking a phone call:

Me: Good afternoon, XYZ Store, IMG speaking, how may I help you?

Customer: Are you selling turkeys?

Me: No

(we just got 6 tons on the truck that morning. we always get that much the Friday before T'giving)

Obviously you've mistaken me for someone that gives a flying f***.

Customer: orders 5 kinds of lunch meat:: "I am making sandwiches."
Me: "That's nice."

Customer: ordering steak:: "I am gonna throw that on the grill when I get home."
Me: "That's nice."

Customer: ordering beef roast:: "I am cooking that in my crock pot."
Me: "That's nice."

Customer: ordering bacon:: "I am making blt's"
Me: "That's nice."

Customer: ordering pepperoni:: "It's pizza nite!"
Me: "That's nice."

Customer: ordering catfish:: "I am gonna fry them up."
Me: "That's nice."

She said we need pork chops.

Me: Which cut of pork chops would you like?

Customer: I don't know, hold on.

:Honey? What kind of pork chops do we need?:

As often as I have to deal with pharmacies, I try to be nice....

Me: Good morning, XYZ meat dept, how may I help you?
Customer: I just read a book about salmon, can I tell you about it?
Me: No

IMGreat101 · #52 02-10-10, 07:37 PM

Out of the mouths of customers.

The plural of breast is not "breastasis"

The plural of roast is not "roastasis"

My co-workers are tired of me correcting them on this.

"them ones"

"those ones"

"these ones"

I call it a redundant plural. I am sure someone here can state the issue. Drop the "ones"

The customer usually precedes these with "gimme".

Other factoids:

Chickens don't have front legs.

Funny that you ask that... lol.

I didn't' get to deal with it, but yeah, a Dr. called in one for a patient not too long ago that had been on about 3 pain meds. I don't know what he was trying to do, but he only called that one in and DID NOT refill the others. (if he's gonna try to taper her off, got to be a little more subtle, but I'm just a pharmacist, what do I know..? anyway...) One of the other pharms filled it and lady picked it up.

Well she decided to play Sherlock Holmes and look it up and called back to the pharmacy and asked if it indeed was a placebo. My partner reluctantly admitted it was... However,and thankfully, the patient wasn't pissed at us (for a change), but was REAL pissed at the Dr.

Within a day or two, the Dr. called back with refills on her dope and she was content (for now)

Customer: I need two pounds of shaved ham wrapped all together.
Me: Ok.
Customer: Wait, I changed my mind, can I get two pounds of shaved ham, wrapped all together.
Me: So..... you want two pounds of shaved ham, wrapped all together?
Customer: No, I changed my mind.
Me:

Customer: (shopping with husband) What happens when I put this brisket in the freezer?
Me: Well, first it gets really cold then it gets really hard.
