The other day a customer was brought to me by one of my deaf coworkers. She indicated that the customer was looking for a mirror and asked me to help (my ASL isn’t great, but I agreed and thanked her). The customer just had a picture of a price tag on a mirror, both of which were definitely not from my store, so I pointed her toward the aisle that has mirrors and continued what I had already been doing. I assumed she knew what store she was in. A minute later she comes back and we have this exchange:
Customer: Okay. Maybe you can help me with this.
Me: Sure!
C: I’m looking for this mirror but I didn’t see it over there. holds up photo of price tag again
Me: That’s not my tag.
C: shows me a photo of the full mirror Yes it is! I took this picture right around the corner over there.
Me: Umm. That’s not my mirror or packaging. That’s from name redacted.
She’s now clearly very confused and starts to walk away while mumbling, “I took this picture.”
Like, yeah. I can see your full body in the reflection. But I assure you that you did not take that picture here. There are two or three discount overstock type stores in our same shopping plaza, but this was a first for me.
