Funny Work Stories

I’m starting this thread in celebration of my first day of work… in a comic shop!

Enjoy these (hopefully) funny stories, and please share any funny work stories you have :3

Customre n. 1: Dad looking for manga recs to read with son

Dad: I’m lookin for something to read with my son, something similar to Dragon Ball, but not One Piece

Me: Maybe he’ll like Naruto…

Dad: Is it suitable for a kid his age? (points at 5 year old)

My brain remembering what episode of Naruto i’ve just watched

Me: (stutters) yeah… it should be fine

Dad: You don’t seem so sure (worried)

Me: (shrugs) I watched it as a kid

Customer n. 2: Girl in crutches

Girl: (has Girls Last Tour vol. 6 in hand) Do you have the first 5 volumes of this?

Me: I’ll check, lemme see who publishes it, i’m new … it’s your lucky day, we got all af ’em

Girl: Thanks (tries to manuver around crutches to carry manga)

Me: I can help carry them if you wanna look around somemore

Girl: No it’s ok, i’ll just put them in my backpack

Me: No, it’s fine, i’ll help (DO YOU TAKE ME FOR AN IDIOT?!!)

Customer n. 3: I’m looking for lgbt manga recs

My total BL experience:
Nakamura-kun
Given
No.6
One crappy 90s OVA

Me: (Tries to sound knowledgeble) Do you prefere something more comedic or romantic? (please say comedic, please say comedic)

C3: I like finny stuff

Me: (i’m saved) How about Nakamura-kun?

Customer n. 4: That is not for kids!

What’s better than a nice trip to the comic shop with your kids? These nice parents who actually let their kids buy something (seriously the amount of a-hole parents who dragged their kids there buying stacks of manga for themselves and not even letting their kids get a miserly pack of pokemon cards) might think otherwise after this trip

Kid: Mommy daddy, can i get this one?

Holds up a manga that’s:
Plastic wrapped
Has big volumptious anime tiddies on cover
And character wearing lengerie 5 sizes too small

That my dear Watson, is a Hentai

Mom: (rippes the manga out of kid’s hands in a panic) N-no darling, this one is not for kids

The dreadded look on the parents face as they await the inevitable “Whyyyyyy?”

All in all i’d say it was a good first day of work, and i did manage to sell some shit :D
