Dumb Work Questions

[Dead2009]

What are some dumb questions that you have been asked at work, either by a co-worker, a customer or someone else. My favorite question is when I'm walking through the store, with my name tag on my shirt, pushing a giant red cart with a walkie in my hand and someone will come up to me and go "excuse me, do you work here?" Like no, I'm researching what it's like to work in retail for a movie role.

I used to work at Starbucks. Someone asked me how much a bag of the prepackaged coffee beans weighed. I responded, "One pound." He asked me how much the bag weighed after grinding the beans. I smiled at him, because I thought he was just messing around. He asked me again what the beans weighed after grinding. I said, "One pound." He looked at me in disbelief. It was a surreal moment as I was standing in a drive thru window trying to explain the difference between weight, mass and volume.
