Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

I work retail. People walk up to me like I'm a robot.

"Duck tape??" They just... Bark at me. I have gotten to the point that I refuse to tell them where something is until they treat me like a human being and ask a very simple question, "where's duck tape?"

You're gonna hate me for this but since it's your job you might want to learn it's "duct" tape.

There is such a thing as duck tape though, It's a brand of duct tape

[โ€“] BlackRing@midwest.social 14 points 4 months ago

Not what they asked for. Duck tape is a brand, and is in my department. Duct tape is in plumbing which also does HVAC products, and is actual foil tape with a peel off backing, actually used for ductwork.

But that's not what the customer asked for.
