Measure This

I had a customer come up to me today asking if we had a Tape Measure of some sort.

Probably because he wanted to measure the size of a tank or a crate or an igloo or something.
Or maybe the inside of his car.

As that's usually why people ask to measure things.
Because they want to make sure the thing they're planning to buy will fit into their transportation to either stay in the vehicle or else at least make the journey home.

lol but when I pulled out a Tape Measure for this customer.

He was like O.o Why do you even have a tape measure?! 

....
Because occasionally we have to measure things here too in the store?
Like my department uses a tape measure when we need to measure out aquarium backgrounds that people want cut to a specific size/length. 

I think other uses we have for them is to measure the shelves. Like the heights of them when we have to move them around when we rearrange our endcaps to hold different products.

But yah...we use them here.
Not often but we do.

*shakes head*

But like....if you weren't expecting us to have a tape measure, dearest customer.....why did you ask for one in the first place??
