'I call the department manager, who is equally confused': Manager shows customers dictionary definition to convince them he's not trying to fool them

This department store employee spent a lot of time working with this couple, who just don't understand what they're asking for.

Before online shopping was everyone's go-to, people used to go to department stores in the mall to do certain types of shopping. One thing these department stores were great for was large electronics. If you needed a stove or a laundry machine or a refrigerator, you could head to the mall and look at a nice selection of machines. You could check out the latest models and talk to sales staff about the specifics you need for your house. It definitely helps to know what you're actually looking for, though, unlike this couple who came into u/Rhewin's store.

It seems like the couple misunderstood a deal that was going on. Instead of listening to the OP's explanation, they immediately started accusing the OP of trying to bait them into buying a higher-priced machine. OP tried to instead tell them they really weren't trying to make them pay more, but this couple thought that if they raised their voices, it would get them what they wanted. They pushed the issue way too hard, and the OP was forced to shut them down.

Next up, these people shared the silliest solutions they know to solve common problems.
