It's been a while, so time for another one...

If I had to name the most retarded question I've ever had from a customer, I'd struggle because they were all gems in their own right.

This one happening last Friday was comedy gold, though.

Woman, probably in her late 30s, comes into the shop.
"Can I help?", I say.
"Yes", she says, "can you order me a book off the internet?"
I look at her, confused. "What do you mean, waterstones.com? You'd have to have your own account-"
"No", she says. "Off amazon."

I don't even know what to say to that. I suppose now is the time to give up. *slowly bangs head against wall*

I'm sure I must be approaching enough material for a book, or a least a Top Trumps deck. All I know is that she'd be ranking mile high.
