I work in a Barnes and Noble. Have for nearly a year now. And you know what? All of those stories are true, and all of them happen on a daily basis.

My favorite stories are of the crazy customers... like the girl who came into the cafe and gave us a tip for a tin full of tea bags she bought, then went outside and flirted with the paramedics, and proceeded to walk around the parking lot doing weird...kicking...movements.

Also, you can't beat stories about homeless women washing their clothes in the bathroom sink. ALL of their clothes. As in, a woman is standing in the public bathroom completely nude, washing her clothes. And yes, this has happened.

Or perhaps the woman who once asked, "do you have any books about the character Ivanhoe?"
"You mean, like the book Ivanhoe?"
"There's a book?"

This site is awesome. Everyone who's ever had a Joe-job needs to read it.

One time in early high school I was a bagboy at a local grocery store and this crazyish lady with wiry hair walks through the line. As per usual, I ask her whether she would like paper or plastic, to which she enthusiastically replies, "Plastic, because I use 'em to pick up my dog's craps!"

boobs are lumps of lard that get in my way.

This is great, sort of a short story version of Clerks. Except in a major retail bookstore. The best part for me was the bit about people not signing their credit/debit cards. When I used to work as an electronics salesman I got this all the time. Some people always think they're smart and protecting themselves by NOT signing their credit/debit cards. What the hell kind of logic is that? *sigh* stupid people.

...and that's all I have to say about that.

TradBlog... www.TradBlog.com is a website dedicated to a teacher mocking her mentally retarded students.

And if this gets posted four times over I'm gonna... do nothing... but it's annoying.
