Customer: What is the international calling rates?
Me: To Phillipines it's 27 cents to a cell phone, and 23 cents to a landline.
Customer: How is that possible?
Me: How is what possible?
Customer: How can I call from my cell phone and my landline?
Me: (Literally) ........What?
Customer: You just said it's 27 cents whether I call from my cell phone or my landline.
Me: No I didn't, it's FROM cell phone, TO a landline in Phillipines.
Customer: So it'll cost me 27 cents and my family over ther 27 cents.
*Key note: At this point my co-worker has her jaw dropped*
Me: No no, YOU are getting charged the 27 cents when you call TO the Phillipines at their house......

(Same customer)
Me: You have a past due balance of 257.52. You need to pay that off so we can proceed. System won't let me do anything unless it's paid.
Her: Okay, I give you 150 then.
Me: Um... the total past due is 257.52 though...
Her: I have until July 6th to pay the rest off.
Me: I know you do, that's when the next bill is due. But this is the current PAST due that has to be paid......
Her: But they told me until the 6th.
Me: Yes for the next bill....
Her: You guys just want my money......
(In my head, OMG SHOOT ME)

This is a great day for this thread to come to the top too, because i've got something that happened today that I must add.
Guy comes in with a '97 cobra svt, it has gauges on the inside, BBS wheels (that look sexy I must say) and some other random things. Well, he says its making a belt noise and he wants us to put a belt on for it, and check the rear diffy fluid.
No biggie right? Well, the customer has the belt in hand that he purchased at a local auto parts store, hands it to me, and says I quote 'I hope this is the damn right one, the idiots over at autozone kept saying they couldnt find supercharged cobra on the list' he proceeds to laugh. And I just stare at him. I calmly say, "Cobras didnt come factory supercharged until 2003". He stopped laughing and looks at me, I said "Unless you supercharged it, this car is not supercharged, its just a cobra DOHC." He proceeds to proclaim that it is, and I pop the hood and ask him to point it out to me, and he proceeds to point out the upper intake.
At this point I give up on trying to tell him differently, and hop in the car and pull it into the bay, and order the correct belt.

The guy behind the register asks me "credit or debit" *pauses for a second* Then says ohh yea our debit is broke then asks me again "so credit or debit" ...... Huh? credit..... The guy was a clueless.

People can be sooooo stupid! Especially when they have no clue what they're talking about, but they will ****** argue all day about you're wrong and they're right. I work at Radioshack in a very small town so I get my share of jack***es, but the ones I love the most are the ppl who come in looking to pick a fight over something by asking questions about something they have a PhD in, and if you don't have the most technical answer they wanna ***** all day about how we should be trained better. I just wanna look at one of em and say,"When I was hired here I received no formal training whatsoever...none. I try to answer questions to the best of my ability, but since I am just in high school I apologize if my knowledge of the subject isn't quite as expansive as yours, since you a doctrine."

I'll just quote, this one doesn't need any explanation:
"I want to get my daughter a cell phone, but I don't want her to be able to receive or make any calls with it. What do you have?"
*Side note: No, I didn't make the sale............*
