EVERY. SINGLE. CUSTOMER.
I work the paper wall at an art store, and the ENTIRE length of one side of the store a metric fuck-ton of slots where I hand-number and stock thousands of individual sheets of very high-quality paper (like, $20+ per sheet pure cotton rag from Italy or some shit).
Unfortunately, we get a ton of upper-class rich people who don't seem to understand the high value of such paper....and apparently never passed Kindergarten, because they NEVER seem to understand the concept of length vs width...
Also, they never watch their damn kids. Their toddlers are always picking up the most highly toxic items and shoving them into their mouths.

I am so glad I only buy polymer clay from my friendly neighborhood Wallack`s 8I
Unless one has to stack that properly too...? But srs, customers are morons. They`re much more comfortable risking hundreds of dollars worth of product by putting it wherever, however they want instead of simply asking a sales rep. So much fish wasted because they changed their minds and just dumped it in the bakery department...*single tear*

Uuuuggghhhh, inorite?? And in the case of this crazy fancy paper... After they've thoroughly wrinkled it by trying to force it into the wrong shaped slot, they just drop it on the dirty floor. THANKS! Now it's even MORE un-sell-able! *flails* I have a hell of a time keeping up with these customers too, since I'm the only person who works the paper wall. =\
You know who sucks? Those customers that come in and just sit at the cash registers and taaaalk and taaaaalk and taaaaalk. Good GOD do those people have lives.
Also, I know how you feel - Every now and then we get to play a gig at a super fancy hoity toity place, and the rich people there just... are very special. Little girls wearing jeweled metal crowns and fur coats, and adults that won't even look at you because you're so far beneath them type thing. I feel better knowing that none of them can tell the difference between length and width, though!

OH man, they don't understand ANYTHING. I'm convinced they can't even read, because they'll stare at a price tag and ask how much the product is. Or they'll hold up two entirely different objects...like, a box of pencils and a lamp...and ask you what they are and what the difference is. Um...one's a lamp?
One woman could NOT wrap her head around the idea of cutting paper with scissors. She kept going on and on and on about how her sister told her to get this certain size of paper that wasn't standard (say, 10 by 15) and she had no idea what to do. I showed her a paper that was larger (20x15 for example) and told her to cut it in half, then she could have two sheets.
She staaaaared at me for a long time with this flabberghasted look, "But why would I do that? I only need one!"
Me: "Well, you'll have a backup sheet, just in case you mess up."
Her: "But...but...HOW can I get it in half?"
Me: "Um....just cut it?"
Her: "I DON'T UNDERSTAND! HOW??"
Me: "With scissors???"
She just stared at the paper for a long time looking more and more flustered before she finally just threw her hands up and said, "THIS IS RIDICULOUS! Why did she tell me to get a paper that doesn't exist! WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO COMPLICATED! Forget it! I'll look elsewhere!!!"
