[Ask HN]: What is the funniest thing you've seen or heard at your job?

I figure HN can use some comic relief ever once in a while.

I will be posting more comic questions if this one does good.

retail management. more specifically, grocery stores. Ive managed several. this is number one on my list. maybe more of a pet peeve. working in an aisle, stocking, tagging, reset, talking with a customer, any boring daily chore. dressed in the standard boring company garb, shirt that states the company name, name badge clearly stating name, with company logo on it.

customer: "do you work here?"

really?

no, I dont work here. I just enjoy standing around impersonating a supermarket manager all day just to answer these types of questions.
