| THE 18 STUPIDEST RECORD SHOP QUESTIONS OF THE 2000 HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON
When you work in a retail establishment, you come to expect certain
stupid questions on at least a semi-regular basis. But at Christmas/New
Years, the skies open up and rain a multitude of just plain moronic
questions upon your unsuspecting head. Here are some of my favorites
from this year. Oh, and by the way, I work in an independent record
store, in case that wasn't made clear.

"Where do you guys keep the pianos?"
"Do you have any current CDs?"
"Do you have any Dave Matthews Band? I looked under ‘D’ and couldn’t
find any."
"Do you carry hubcaps for a 1969 Ford Pinto?"
"Do you have the new one by that girl who sings that song, y’know?"
"Wow, this is the hippest Radio Shack ever. Where are the phone cords?"
"Would you happen to have any cardboard cut-outs of the Marx Brothers?"
"Do you have any Britney Spears flags?"
"Does Metallica have a Christmas album?"
"This can be returned if it's been opened, right?"
"Can I get three gift boxes with this?"
(About to order something on December 22) "Can you guarantee this for
Christmas?"
"What would you listen to if you were a 13 year old girl?"
"Does Kriss Kross have a greatest hits album?"
"Do you have a box set?"
"Where do you keep Dusty Springfield? He’s really good."
"Can your gift certificates be used at Best Buy too?"
"Do you have the one by that guy? You know, the one who never wears a
shirt?"

Think you're some sort of clever boots? Why not send us your damn list? Come up with a creative topic and make certain to include artist, title, and label information. If we use your list, we'll send you some sort of prize...most likely a Splendid t-shirt. Or not, if you'd rather we don't.
