Pokey-Man cards (Pokemon). This used to annoy the hell out of me in 4th grade when I collected them. I can't believe people still say it.

I got asked the other day, "Where is the buddiNg meat?" As if it was a flower growing meat or something.



Now, on a side note, once I got a mispick that said it was valentines candies, but instead it was a box of Ruffies.

Oh and has anyone noticed that we sell a product called a "Dobie?" This made me lol

 

[DMNDZ bruhh]

i was asked once where the "small records" were at. you meen CDs?

 

[SomeBodysSlave]

Mechanically speaking -- that used to bother the crap out of me

Then at some point -- I realized I'm smarter than some people -- but -- most are way smarter than I am

Someone once said ( paraphrasing ) -- "Your intelligence is related to where your standing in the country or which country"

Being simple here --- Someone from Alaska - isn't gonna know how to get from Carnage Hall in "Mad-hat-in" using the "A" train ------ a dazzling urbanite from "Time Square" wont know how to track a Moose through the Tundra :wacko: -- I don't know eather one

If a team member tells me - the hand jack is bleeding -- I used to say -- "Its leaking hydraulic oil from one of 3 seals"

Now I say -- "I'll get a band-aid and be right there"

In my old age --- I now know --- "Everybody doesn't know everything"

Was walking past drapes & a lady asked me if we carried 'travelers' rods.
I said not in-store but they might have traverse rods on-line.

I heard a TM ask, over the walkie, if we had the "Hungry Games" in stock.

Also reminds of me the quinoa. First time somebody asked me where it is, I just stared.

Sometimes the guest says it right and its still like, "WAT?"

How many "Jigga-bits" is this stick?

Bwuh? Don't get it TOO often with flash drives here at Target... but my previous employer was another Red-loving Big Box retail chain, that dealt more with computers and I would get it ALL. THE. TIME.

So very annoying.

They must've watched Back to the Future too many times.

Pretty sure the term from the movie is actually Jiggawatts, but I could be wrong.

 

[mrknownothing]

It is. They based their pronunciation of gigabytes (yes, I know they said bits, not bytes) on Dr. Brown's incorrect pronunciation of gigawatts.
