   HA! that customer one was hilarious, I have a few, since I’ve worked retail for over ten years now, and my best one was a lady who had no clue what the eiffle tower was, and when I told her it a landmark for Paris, she went “What, Paris Hilton??” Of course I didn’t laugh in her face, but I did rofl after I got back into my frame shop and died. I know when I’m dead I WILL not go to heaven for that one!
