At Walmart
A teenager began his first day at a large department store. His trainer offered to handle the first two customers and let the new employee serve the third.
The first customer wanted a garden hose. The trainer asked whether she needed ten, twenty, or thirty feet. After selecting the longest hose, he suggested a lawn mower.
‘Why would I need that?’ she asked.
‘You will water the grass, the grass will grow, and eventually you will need to cut it.’
The customer agreed and purchased both items. The trainee was impressed.
The second customer requested fertilizer. Again, the trainer asked the quantity and then recommended a mower.
‘Once the fertilizer works, your lawn will grow quickly,’ he explained.
The second customer also bought a mower. By now, the new employee believed he understood advanced selling.
His first customer asked for a large box of indoor craft supplies because rain was forecast for the entire weekend. The boy helped her choose paints, brushes, paper, glue, and enough materials to occupy the family for two days.
Then he said, ‘When you are finished, may I interest you in a lawn mower?’
She stared at him. ‘What could a lawn mower possibly have to do with indoor crafts?’
The boy answered confidently, ‘If the rain ruins your weekend plans, you may as well spend Monday cutting the grass.’
The situation was awkward enough already, but everyone decided to hear the explanation to the end. That small decision gave the confusion plenty of room to become even more ridiculous.
The trainer placed a hand on his shoulder. ‘The logic is terrible, but the mower department is hiring.’
