"Have you tried reinstalling windows?"

"It's in 17 pieces because you smashed it against some windows. I was just trying to be nice and asked if you called the window repair man."

Maybe she just had to cut Windows into 17 pieces and install them by hand?

If you've ever had to reinstall Windows, you'll realize that's a perfectly acceptable reason for the computer to now be in 17 pieces.

#79: AMEN.

Try to play it cooler next time to avoid the forced awkwardness.

Yeah. "Okay; I'm required to ask you this set of questions; even though some of them are crazy in light of your laptop's condition. Sorry about that. Now, first required question: Have you tried turning it off and on?" Get the customer laughing with you. :)

It's okay OP, you were only doing your job. Props to you for sticking to it, even if it was humiliating. I'm sure if she knew she'd have understood, at least she bore through it with you!

Maybe it's against policy to mention the policy to customers, 54.

The first rule of store policy is not to tell anyone that it is store policy.

I would add my own disclaimer to any stupid questions I had to ask.

Deeeeeefinitely. I find that there's nothing better that builds rapport between customer and employee than talking shit about the higher ups and their policies, when they're not around of course.

31- Well would you rather sound like a total idiot to the customer and possibly drive him away from returning?

If the boss of the store is that incompetent, yes. I'd drive customers to a store where the employees are well-trained enough that their boss trusts them to actually know their jobs. Rather than an incompetent boss and possibly incompetent employees....

55- just because the boss is incompetent, doesn't mean the employees are. I've heard plenty of stories (from friends and FML alike) about bosses that are idiots and seem to want to put their stamp on everything, whilst the employees are reasonable human beings that are quite competent

Except in this case the employee isn't even being allowed to be competent. Yep, I'd not shed a tear if a customer went elsewhere. Bad business = no customers.

Today, my laptop is smashed beyond repair, so I went into a store to get my files recovered. The man did nothing but smile and ask stupid questions like, "Did you try turning it on and off?" FML

"It's store policy for me to ask you these questions even though they may sound completely ridiculous."
There you go it wasn't that difficult.
