This is a common story: "I went into the store and asked for ______. The sales guy just laughed." Has it ever actually happened to anyone? That's not how retail employees work at all.

The sales guy didn't laugh at my friend's dad, just at the concept. It also doesn't mean he was rolling around on the floor like in a cartoon. It's really not that far-fetched a story.

I pity your local retail employees if they're never able to express amusement at something funny.
