A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9 year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in the bedroom cupboard. Then the woman's husband also comes home. Panicked, she puts her lover in the cupboard, not realising that the little boy is in there already.
The little boy says, "Dark in here." The man says, "Yes, it is." Boy "I have a football." Man "That's nice." Boy "Want to buy it?" Man "No, thanks." Boy "My dad's outside." Man "OK, how much?" Boy - $250
A few weeks later, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the cupboard together.
Boy "Dark in here." Man "Yes, it is." Boy "I have football boots." The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?" Boy "$750" Man "Sold."
A few days later, the boy's father says to the boy, "Grab your boots and football, let's go outside and have a game of footy. The boy says, "I can't, I sold my ball and boots." The father says, "What?! Why?! How much did you sell them for?" Boy - "$1,000." The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is far more than those two things cost. You're going to church to confess!"
They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door. + Show Spoiler +
The boy says, "Dark in here." The priest says, "Don't start that shit again".

I've had much stupider questions asked when I was working. At least they didn't start screaming at you demanding that you tell them that whatever they're looking for is in the aisle they think its in and not the aisle that you know it's in.
The customer was referring to the length, yet used the phrase "how big". The clerk gave some ambiguous number. It could have been the length of a breadstick or the number of breadsticks in one order. Miscommunication, nothing more.
