    One year, right around Black Friday, I was working registers and we had a line of people out the door… we were all just trying to get people rung up as quickly as possible.

    I’m in the middle of helping someone when this woman jumps the line, interrupts me while I helping another customer, and goes “Excuse me, I just have a question?”

    So I turn to my first customer, “Do you mind? She just has a question?”

    Ok, fine, what’s the question?

    “Where are your etiquette books?”

    ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

    “They… they’re on the reference wall. Right hand side, about 1/2 way down.”

    That night, cleaning up the store, I found a pile of 20 etiquette books just sitting on the floor.
