A real jerk walks in looking for absinthe. We have a few in stock, but he wanted to order something else because "our selection sucks." His words to my face.
So, I asked him what he wanted.
He said, "I want something I have never had before."
Me, "And what brands would they be."
He said, "I don't know, what can you get?"
So, you see where this is going, right? The retail wine goddess is wasting her time on absinthe instead of selling wine and oh yeah, I have to automatically know what items he has never had before, because I am the almighty mind reader.
Then I start to read out loud a large laundry list of what I can order for him. He wants a printed version. Told him I couldn't do that because there is confidential information listed that he cannot be privy to. He asked me to print out everything and then use a black marker to cross out anything I didn't want him to see.
Um, no. Go away and come back when you know what you want to order. He suggested that maybe he would do some research and come back. Uh, good idea Einstein.
