*I know some people do not know about computers and etc., this is a funny blog not make fun of blog.

Ok so I work retail at a big electronic store, I work in the computer department. On a daily basis I get asked these stupid questions that even my grandma knows. Sometimes I will break it down (I love doing this to people who want to learn) other times I just facepalm.

Here are just some examples of what customers ask me (feel free to laugh.)

"Where does the ram go? In the computer, or in a flash drive?"

(Guy comes up to me with 2 boxes, a 320gb WD green, and a 1TB Seagate Barracuda) "What the difference between these 2?"

(Me talking with a customer about a laptop that would be good for her, I start to explain the benefits of having an i3 over a Pentium dual core, her husband approaches.) "How much ram does the i3 have?"

(Customer comes up to me and tells me she needs help finding a Hard Drive. I show her a 2.5" laptop drive. She says "It's bigger than that". I grab a 3.5 inch drive for a desktop. She says "No it's a lot bigger than that." Turns out she wanted the whole tower.) My response: facepalm

(Customer comes up to me and says "I need ROM". I take him to the external and internal CD/DVD rom drives. He says "No, the sticks". I said "Oh, RAM. What kind do you need?" His response: "You tell me.")

(Customer of Indian decent approaches me. "Pull off the laptop and this laptop and get them both down for me. I'm going to go get my iPhone 4 and come back. Don't waste my time, have them ready." Yeah, I'm going to pull down 2 laptops so you can decide between the two when they already are on display, and risk the chance of someone stealing them.) My response: Sorry, they are both out of stock.

(Customer approaches me with his wife looking for a laptop. I start going over all the services we offer, starting with the PC set up. I move on to the Warranty information) "Too many decisions, we will go elsewhere."

These are just some of the scenarios that have happened to me in the past week or so. Let me know if they are funny or just complete fail.

Leave it to Teamliquid to call you a bad salesman, question whether or not you are racist, and claim you may have a superiority complex that you do not deserve because you do not know quantum physics.

I am also very thankful I don't have to respond to people quoting me who seem to have a slight anger problem and who might take this topic very personally given the rage and dedication being shown.

OP you're a douche bag. Some people aren't dedicated enough to get a good computer and may simply need it because their old one broke. I know many people who just check their e-mail/facebook and just log off. Your job is to help people and you're over here making fun of them... really? I'm suprised most of the posters in this thread are laughing with you.



Lol you sound unsocial, how bout you learn to tolerate people more? If they need help, help them, or are they just too inferior for you to help them? Too many people on this site are elitists -_-
