    Just hit em with the old “CEE 7/7 on one end and C14 C13 on the other end please”. If their eyes glaze over, do the Ron Swanson and get the right one yourself.

      If their eyes glaze over, do the Ron Swanson and get the right one yourself.

      I was at a computer hardware store once (back when those existed) and asked for something specific. The kid working there insisted they don’t exist. I told him that I’m confident they do exist because I own one. He went on rambling about how smart and knowledgeable he was, and how he’s certain they don’t exist. While he was talking I noticed there was one sitting on the shelf right behind him. I grabbed it and said “well, for not existing you guys certainly have a good supply of them!”. Then I told his boss that his employees should not tell customers that things don’t exist, just because they’ve never heard of them. What kind of idiot does that?
