Archived Items that guests ask for

I was in today (on my day off) to purchase some khakis that were on clearance and my friend was operator today. When I came out of the FR she was on a call, and then turned to me and said, "They just asked if we sell washing machines."

I burst out laughing and told her to tell them to try Sears.
 
I talked to a guest on the phone and she was asking for what she thought was called a "fleece liner" or "fleece sleeping bag." I had no idea what she was talking about, so I asked a TM near me, and she knew right away that the guest was referring to a duvet cover. Being a "domestically challenged" 21-year-old male, I don't really know bedding beyond sheets and a blanket anyways, but "fleece sleeping bag?" The call was originally picked up by Sporting Goods, then the TM over there transferred it to me because I was in D.

It's not, I wrote it that way to try and show it's perpendicular....our HBA & cosmetic aisles are perpendicular, but the rest of the aisles in the store are parallel to the pharmacy....it's an older store. I couldn't get the formatting to stick, even with WYSIWYG???

BINGO! Usually, it shows up when you post it just as it's formatted on the screen when you type it, but the spacing reverted every time I posted 🙁
 
Chainsaws. The guy looked ready to re-enact the Texas chainsaw massacre so I sent him on his merry way to Home Depot. :|

A guest once asked if we carried Ouija Boards. I just stared at him and said we don't.

My store stopped carrying it, but for at least a couple of years we did have a Ouija board by Hasbro in the board games section.

I once had a guest who was looking for a work light, but she didn't know what to call it so she described it as a light that men like to hang in the basement, and it looks all scary and it's in a cage.
 
I was running the front when I heard someone say over the walkie "Does anyone know if we carry 'dust mite free storage bags'?"

I don't know why but i found that kinda funny
 
someone in the automotive section asked if we sold carburetors, this is target bro, not autozone
 
On 4/21, I kid you not, there were a TON of parents asking for drug tests....we actually SOLD OUT!!! :mosking:
