[Publib] Craziest thing heard in line at Wal-Mart

[Lazenby, Sherri]

I don't know how true this is you know the scenario a friend of a
friend, etc...  But my Mom swears it happened to her best-friend's son
when he went to purchase tampons for his wife at Wal-mart.  The package
would not ring up so the cashier called for a price check over the PA
which was embarrassing enough, but the person on the other end
misunderstood tampons for tacks and called back over the PA the kind you
push in or the kind you hammer in.

Not library related, but the whole store laughed after the PA
announcement:

"Mr. Jones, your wife is waiting for you in women's lingerie."

Something fun for Friday.....

I was in Wal-Mart one night and of course in a hurry... so I decided to
take my two items to a self check-out. There was a gentlemen in front of
me who seemed confident in his checking out. Then suddenly the computer
gives him a problem and he has to call for help. The woman comes over
and nicely assists him. As she is finishing up he says to her "You all
need to have someone over here all the time to help with these things!"
To which the worker responds "Sir, we don't because this is a self
check-out."  I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing until the
gentleman stalked away. 

So what crazy things have you heard in line at Wal-Mart or some other
stores?
