Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops
Well this was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. There are some pretty weird... and dumb people out there and it is only natural they find their way into bookshops one way or another. Some for the silliest reasons.“CUSTOMER: If I were to, say... meet the love of my life in this bookshop, what section do you think they would be standing in?”
So I take it's a pretty interesting life being a bookseller. Maybe it's annoying when they all come in and put stupid questions, but at the end of the day, it's pretty hilarious for those you tell about it... and later for you too.
I'm really happy some effort was put into creating this collection of bookshopping weirdness. :)
“CUSTOMER: Oh, look, these books are all signed. (Pause) I wonder who signed them ?”
