I made an rp journal for one of Captain Hook's pirates. He's the dude sleeping on the cannon in my icon.
For some reason, the letter 'W' seems to confound a lot of customers. Now, onto the quotes.
1. (Customer is looking for the Blackbyrds. I am completely unfamiliar with that group, so I try to bring it up by the spelling of the actual word. That doesn't work.)
Me: Is there any unusual spelling?
Customer: No, I don't think so. B-Y-R-D
2. (I was recommending a cd by Murray Perahia.)
Customer: I don't want this. He's too dorky looking.
3. Customer: I'm looking for Joseph Roleau. It's under 'L'.
(The pronunciation was so off that I couldn't recognize the name, though the 'R' sound was obvious.)
Me: That sounds like 'R'.
Customer: Should I look under 'J'?
4. Customer : [Coworker] told me there were new cds by [Artist].
(I look up the artist. There is nothing recent. The customer is holding a cd titled 'Now', which is actually a fairly old release. I inform the customer that there is nothing new.)
Customer: But it says 'Now'.
5. Customer: Do you have the new cd by [Artist]?
(I bring the customer to a section full of this release. I point out a pocketfull, which contains seven cds.)
Customer: I need three.
