That store is full of STUPID....

Ordinarily this rantspace would have been put up last night, but I was too ill to make a proper rant of it then.

Lastnight, as it's become our weekly tradition is the night mom and I now have bonding time. We go out to eat and talk about things such as clothing, social lives and food. Afterwards we usually run errands together. Mom had to stop at the mall to return items and buy new things and I decided to jog down to the office supply store they had to see if they carried a type of marker I wanted to try out. Opaque paint markers. I had little luck finding it so I deciding to ask one of the clerks.. Who proceeded to sy.. "Pink markers?" ... "No..O-paque markers." "She's looking for pink markers.. " ... "No OPAQUE" ... "What color is Opaque?"

yes. you heard me, they asked what color opaque was. I went through two clerks before the copy lady came over and I said as you would find in ANY fourth grade science book.. "Your windows are transparent, your frosted mug is translucent.. and your counter if OPAQUE." The copy lady was the one who got it right.they didn't carry the markers but I left with a headache anyways. That store suffers from SEVERE INBREEDING.

You don't wanna know how many people ask me if a chicken is a mammal when I tell them I don't eat mammals.

The only reasonable explanation I can think of was that this person is used to hearing extraordinarily strong accents and took "paque" as "pink". If that's not the case, then there's significant stupidity involved here.
