I've served my fair time in retail. Once you get out, it only gets worse.

"You said this would be built by Tuesday!" Yes, it's Thursday and you still haven't delivered the materials. "Well, why isn't it built?" Because we don't have the materials. "Well why is that??" Because you haven't delivered them. "Oh yeah, and why is that???" Because you haven't delivered them. "Well what do you want ME to do? ....get them delivered. "Oh, and that's MY fault?" Are you in charge of material delivery? "Yes!" Then yeah, it is.

Another one I love is when the shop rushes to get pieces out the door that aren't fabricated properly and have to get sent back. "Why isn't that steel installed??" Because you sent it out the door fucked up. "Well that's no excuse!" Actually boss, it is.

If anything, don't encourage them. Just give them that awkward silence so it gives them a moment to reflect on their failure of making a tiring joke.

I usually just chuckle because I don't want to be rude to someone who's just trying to be nice, but at the same time....just get some new material lol.

Everyone who has ever worked retail has heard these jokes at least a couple dozen times.

But then they'll be like "Noooo? Haha, whaaaat". Ignoring sometimes is more effective than acknowledging.

There's probably a better word, but a lot of older people have like programmed responses to stuff. An example from this topic would be saying the topic title when something doesn't scan practically 100% of the time. It happens with a lot of stuff and each individual has their own. I don't understand how you can't be self aware enough to realize it. Especially when the same people hear you every time.

Or maybe it just amuses them I dunno

I worked retail for 6 years and just chuckled when people said most of this stuff. It's not hard, and it's not like it's that annoying. Which you rather just have no talking and complete silence and awkwardness?

I don't get people.

And 'can you look in the back?' is bad? What? From my experience there's a lot of times when we had stuff in the back, and I would go back and get it and they'd be super excited. I couldn't imagine being upset because somebody wanted something and asked you.(the person trained and perfectly capable of checking in-stock and getting said item)

Seriously, it's part of your job. (At least it was for me)

Depends. If the person looks obnoxious in looks and the way the said it, yes. If it's a cute girl whom you wouldn't exactly expect it from, I'd say "No worries, m'lady. I'll make it scan one or way or another".
