Most Common Rhetorically Asked Questions

These are true commonly asked questions from customers who
have shopped in our store (Ark-La Outdoors) before...

1	Scenario: Crickets chirping loudly in the store somebody walks in and asks… Question: “Do ya’ll have any crickets?”
2	Scenario: Same as above but the person looks over into the cricket box obviously seeing the crickets and asks… Question: “Do ya’ll have any crickets?” or “Is that all the crickets ya'll have?”
3	Scenario: Person walks in and wants minnows and we tell them we sell minnows at 75¢ per dozen, the person asks… Question: “How many’s in a dozen?”
4	Scenario: Person walks in and wants minnows, looks in both fish tanks and asks… Question: “Is that all the minnows you have?”
5	Scenario: Business hours have been the same for 12 years, the same people come in every other day and very seriously ask… Question: “What time do ya’ll open and close every day?”
6	Scenario: Same person drives by the store every day in the morning going to work for a few years then finally walks in the store and asks… Question: “How long has this store been here because I’ve never seen it here before?”
7	Scenario: There's a deer corn price sign on the front door and when you open the door 10 steps is the deer corn stacked with a price sign for $3.99. Person walks in looking at the corn and asks… Question: “How much are you selling your deer corn for?”
8	Scenario: Deer corn stacked 10 steps from the front door. Stores totally visible from wall to wall (meaning if there was more corn you would see it), person walks in and asks… Question: “Is that all the deer corn ya got?”
9	Scenario: Person walks in with a stereo, VCR, lawn mower, etc. and asks… Question: “Is this the Pawn Shop?” Or “How much can a pawn this for?”
10	Scenario: I’m sitting in the back of the store on the internet chatting or checking email etc. while the store owner/worker sits at the front next to the cash register. Customer comes in, shops about a min or two and walks to the back of the store toward me on the computer and asks… Question: “Where do I pay for this?” “Do I pay for this back here?”
11	Scenario: When the customer tells you you don't have a product but then asks if you do. Mom and I get tickled at this. This is an everyday question, just replace "shiners" with any product. Ironically we have found that everyday at least 10 or more times this type of question is always being asked. Question: “You don't have any shiners, do ya?”
