Thank you *bows*...I got like a ton more...man I am bored.. lol
 
*applause* I need to write a list like this someday...

People wonder why companies put stupid warning labels on their products...
 
Ones I have also had:
1, 2, 3 (phrased "y'all got dem maddens?"), 4, 6, 9 (usually for Zelda though), 14, 15 & 16 (guy wanted to buy a PS3 for a 4-year-old), 20, 22, 23, 24, 25 (once had to demo it with a PSP), 42-44, and 48 (only with a PSP).

Why is Super Mario All-Stars a dumb question? I know it's uncommon to find, but asking for it isn't really dumb.

Things people have called the Wii:
W-2
Wii-2
Why
W I I (pronouncing each letter)
and most commonly, "the Wii-game." As in, people will come in and say "Do you have the Wii-game?" At first I would just show them the games, then when they figured out I had no clue they wanted the SYSTEM (because they didn't ASK for the system) they would ask for the player. Now when I am asked for "the Wii-game" I tell them if they want the system then no (because we almost never do) or if they want GAMES for the Wii.
 
Super Mario All-Stars? because everytime it's asked, it's never there..but as soon as it arrives..NOBODY ask for it..it stays in the store for 2-3 days maybe...and some stranger will buy it...then on the 4th day that person who asked for it RETURNS....it's Haunted I tell ya! lol
 
I have some good ones... if I can remember them. :lol

I do remember one time, this kid brought up two PSPs. One worked, one was broken. The problem was that the one that worked had a messed up screen and the broken one had a good screen, and so he wanted me to switch the screens. I was like, "Uh...we don't do that here."

Customer: "Do you have any games for girls?"
Me: *points to Nintendo games like Nintendogs, Luigi's Mansion, Zelda (you know, games that people of any age/gender might enjoy*
Customer: "What about that Barbie game? I think I'll take that."
Me: :sick

Me too. UGH. Why ask what I'd reccommend if you are going to buy whatever is in a pink box? Barbie Island Princess and Cheetah Girls and Bratz The Movie: The Game, I hate you so much. If they are going to be horribly stereotypical, though, at least Cooking Mama is fun.
 
I walked into a Game Stop and asked where the Neo Geo games were just to see the look on their faces. It was priceless. One guy didn't even know what I was talking about. They knew after that it was a joke. But still. I should have brought a camera...

@ Mega, there's dumb questions everywhere. Ever hang out in the eletronics department at Wally World just to hear the stupidest questions known to man?

Well, in my line of work, some people think Michigan is a tire and not a state. And others think Yamaha makes tires.

I almost feel like I'm getting run over by one of them... Especially since there's thunderstorms and tornado warnings in the middle of January...
