Me: “How can I help you?”

Caller: “Is this a joke?”

Me: “Pardon me?”

Caller: “Your company just did some landscaping for us and the dirt that you put in is dirty.”

Me: “I’m sorry?”

Caller: “The dirt is dirty.”

Me: “Is there trash or rocks in the dirt?”

Caller: “No, the dirt is just really dirty.”

Me: “So you want us to come out and replace the dirty dirt with clean dirt?”

Caller: “Yes, and I need it done as soon as possible. I don’t want it to make the rest of my dirt dirty too.”

(I am speaking Spanish to a customer at the register. I finish the transaction and see the next customer.)

Customer: *speaking loudly and slowly* “Hello! I want to pay cash!”

Me: “Find everything you need today?”

Customer: “Wow so you can speak English and Spanish? I didn’t think you spoke any English”

Me: “Yes, I’m bilingual”

Customer: “Wow! So you speak two languages fluently and you’re gay?”

Me: “No, just bilingual.”

Customer: “I heard you the first time silly! Lots of gay pride in you, huh?”

Associate to customer on phone about beef recall: We are only recalling meat with the dates April 28th through June 6th on it.

Customer: Well, mine is dated June 23rd. Can I eat it?

Associate: Yes, ma’am. That’s not in our recall dates.

Customer: Are you sure it’s safe?

Associate: Yes ma’am. That meat wasn’t part of the recall.

Customer: What were the dates again?

Associate: April 28th to June 6th.

Customer: So, I won’t die?

Associate: Ma’am, unless you plan on smearing it on a pig and eating it raw, you are going to be fine.
