Customer always right?

I came across this excellent site, and I especially like this story

I’m working in a garden center.)

Customer: “Hey, lady! Do you know something about plants?”

(I have a diploma in gardening, and been working here for five years.)

Me: “Yes, a lot actually.”

Customer: “I’m looking for a very specific plant. It’s very unique and it has flowers! And you have to feed it with water also!”

Me: “Okay… can you—”

Customer: “It’s kind of big also!”

Me: “Can you gave me a little bit more specification on that plant?”

Customer: “It has green leaves!”

You've gotta laugh...

    I once worked for a nursery in the Midlands and we used to go to flower shows. I was talking to a lady at the Southport Flower Show when another lady cut in...

    "Excuse me. Do you have syphilis?"

    My customer and I stood in a state of surprise. The lady looked at me...

    "Oh, I mean Physalis. I always call it syphilis..."

    *facepalm*
