Stupidus Populus Part Deux

Yes. There is yet another entry to the series, even though prior to this there was only one, so it couldn't be really called a series.

I just can't get enough reasons to stop making fun of stupid people. Sure, I may have my own stupid moments, but that's what they are. Moments.

This time I'm going to make fun of the typical consumer. Yes, even though many others before me have touched on the subject.

I'm going to start at the place of my work. A bookstore. There is a very large sign located in the center of the store. Visible to even those who enter from both the mall entrance and the main entrance. Yet, there are still those few who walk up to the Customer Service kiosk and assume they can purchase their items there. But see, here's the thing.. there are no registers located at the kiosk! None!

The only registers there are, are located to the right of either entrance. That's all.
Mind that this particular store has been open for a mere eight months. Isn't that enough time to get used to the store's layout?

Apparently not. Another type of consumer that amuses me are the ones that ask where a particular section of the store is, yet it's literally right in front or next to them. Normally it's fine, but if it's right next to your face? That would make you a "Dee Dee Dee." Yes, that's right. I've adpoted Carlos Mencia's catch phrase. It's a lot better fitting than Bill Engval's "Here's Your Sign."

The final consumer in the work place are those who frequent the cafe. Now, the cafe is part of the store. Yet there are those who assume it is a Starbucks within the store, just like a McD's within a Walmart. This however, isn't the case. Just because we sell Starbucks stuff, does not make it a Starbucks. So therefore, we naturally do not accept the Starbucks Gift Cards! =D

It got so bad that we had to put up a sign in ALL CAPS saying that we didn't accept them. -_-;
That's pretty bad.
