A lot of retail customers are lonely losers looking for any reason to angle staff and engage conversations. That's why you'll sometimes find yourself in these absurd exchanges. 

The most vulnerable targets I feel sorriest for are the young females. Yall have to deal with a growing number of old men who really believe they've got a shot at you. They really think if they just come up with the right line or if they can con you some way they gon get into that cooch. This alone is why I'd never wanna work the sales floor as a young chick.

Many yrs ago I was on a retail job doing a function that had me locked in position at the front of the store. This guy stood right there badgering the sht out of me about religion. No matter how many times or how politely I told him I wasn't tryna hear it he kept after me, all ****y, knowing I couldn't leave. Except that I did. The manager on duty tried giving me sht about it and literally told me I had to 'indulge the customer' (this b itch was a bucket of human sht)......until I told her I'd name her personally in my suit from the ACLU.

Any way, yea. Retail workers hear a lot of stupid sht.
