Well, at a local hardware store, an elderly man was looking for a tool to fix his fence. He picked up a saw and started waving it around in the air, asking how it worked. The store attendant quickly showed him the proper way to hold it. Also, I remember a customer who thought that a level was a toy and was trying to balance it on his nose like a circus act in the middle of the store.
In a gun store, there was a little old lady. She walked in and asked for a 'gun that's not too scary looking for self - defense'. The owner showed her a small revolver. She then asked if it came in pink. The owner was quite amused as he didn't usually get such requests.
There was this music store where an elderly man walked in. He saw an electric guitar and thought it was a new - fangled type of ukulele. He started strumming it all wrong but with so much enthusiasm. The store owner just let him have his fun and even joined in, pretending it was a ukulele. It was really funny to watch.
Well, there was this little puppy in a pet store. It got hold of a roll of toilet paper and started running around the store with it trailing behind like a long white tail. The whole store was a mess but it was hilarious. The store clerk just stood there laughing instead of scolding the puppy at first.
Sure. Once I went to the dollar store and saw a really strange looking keychain. It was shaped like a tiny toilet. I couldn't help but laugh and bought it as a gag gift for my friend. He thought it was hilarious.
A customer once asked if they could buy just one screw from a box of 50. When the clerk said it would be the same price as the whole box, the customer was shocked. He then started bargaining as if it was a flea market.
One funny store story is about a pet store. A little boy went in asking for a rabbit. The store owner showed him a cute white rabbit. But when the boy reached out to pet it, the rabbit suddenly hopped onto the counter and started nibbling on the cash register receipt. Everyone in the store was laughing.
One funny story could be when a customer misinterprets the use of a particular product and asks the store clerk a really odd question. The clerk then has to explain in a very tactful way what the product is actually for. Another could be a situation where a group of friends dare one of their buddies to buy the most outrageous item in the store, and the resulting chaos as they all try to figure out what that would be.
