You Can't Have It Both Ways, Lady!
Today I helped a woman who wanted me to open a box for her so she could see the actual product. I did so, and she liked it.
Then she said: "I want to get that, but I'm going to go get an un-opened box."
My jaw literally dropped.
I understand that some people sometimes want to see the actual product.
I understand that other people want fresh, un-opened boxes.
But you can't have it both ways! If you insist on buying un-fondled products, then you can't fondle them yourself!!

You insisted she take the opened box, I take it?
Alas, no. I was literally speechless for a good thirty seconds (and she walked away right after she said it, so I stood there, by myself, with my mouth hanging open). Imagine me -- ME! -- being speechless.
Even after regaining the powers of speech, I couldn't think of a way to say it that was even remotely polite. Instead, I went into the back room, took some deep breaths, and let my co-worker deal with her.
I didn't come out until she left.
