this story needs som background, i have been injured a lot in my live. have the scars to prove it. and working in retail gives me more than a few stories to tale and this is one.

while at work today, as i was helping a customer, another gentleman approaches, and asks me to help after i finish with my first customer. so after i finish with the first , i talk to him. he proceeds to tell me and i swear i am not joking. "i am doctor from Europe and i know medicine that can clear this right up ," at this time he is pointing to his elbow.( my elbows are very scared). he then walks away, and hands me a paper with a medicine name written on it. he then took the paper back and wrote his name and number down for me. it was an interesting experience to say the least.

That is a little weird - I mean he has no idea what the actual cause is without a proper examination, so claiming he can clear something right up is a little silly.  Strikes me as snake oil, but that's just me.

A friend of mine works for Target [it's a retail chain that sells a variety of products - from hardware to electronics and clothing] and had a guy try to return a 10 year old product the other day, he still had the reciept and everything.  Not really related, but I found it funny.
