While working at a doughnut shop, I was standing at the front cash register - literally 2 feet in front of the doughnut case. Now, bear in mind that this is an open case, displaying dozens of yummy delights to the customers. Had a man come up and ask if we had any more doughnuts. I turned around, looked at the 50+ doughnuts sitting there, then turned back to him and said I'd have to check out back. I left, came back a minute later, and he was still waiting for an answer.
Idiot.
