"At The Department Store"
A man approached a female clerk in the department
store:
"Excuse me," he said, "but do you have notions?"
"I do," she replied, "but I try to suppress them until 5:00."
"Oh, no," stammered the embarrassed shopper. "You
misunderstood. I need to know if you keep stationery."
"Just until the very end," she replied, "Then I just go wild."

"More Customer Service Tidbits"
As someone who has been in retail for 25
years, I really enjoyed Dec 3rd column. Here are
some lines that I've actually been known to use
(which might explain why I've worked for 9
companies in 25 years).
CUSTOMER: Do you work here?
ME: Only when the boss is around.
CUSTOMER: Do you know where the
hardware department is?
ME: Yes I do.
CUSTOMER: Well, could you tell me
where it is?
ME: I sure could. Would you like me to?
CUSTOMER: This doesn't have a price on it.
Does that mean it's free?
ME: No, that means I get to make up a price.
It's $150.00
On hearing that we don't carry an item:
CUSTOMER: Well, do you know who does?
ME: No, I missed the conference call today.
CUSTOMER: What conference call?
ME: The one where all the stores in town
give each other a list of everything they
have in stock.
