Stupidity at Work

Overheard at 'Barnes & Noble' -

Customer is 30-ish male in 3-piece suit, briefcase, Blackberry, ect.
C: Excuse me miss, I want to order this book, but all the computer says is 'OOP'!
E: Let me take a look at that for you. Hmm.... Seems that this book is out of print. That's why it said 'OOP'.
C: I don't care what the computer says! I want this book!
E: Well, sir, I'm sorry, but it isn't in our system. Therefore, we can't order it.
C: Don't lie to me! I have a credit card! Order the book!
E: Sir, the book is out of print. It cannot be ordered.
C: FINE!!! You people don't know what you're doing! B. Dalton will order it for me!
Customer stomps out of store, on verge of tears.

I guess having a credit card makes everything possible.
