*Customer approaches an employee holding a green lanyard.*

Customer:  Excuse me.  Do you have any other lanyards?
Employee:  Well we keep them in a few places around the store, I'm not sure where you looked.
Customer:  ...
Employee:  Okay well we have some up front-
Customer:  Oh... those are all of them??
Employee:  ...If you already saw those, like I said we have them in a few places. There are also some in the back by the poster display.

*Customer stares blankly at the employee until he physically leads her down down the aisle to the poster display that was clearly visible from where they were originally standing.*

Customer:  Oh...do you have any team ones?
Employee:  We don't have any sports team lanyards in stock right now if that's what you mean.
Customer:  Oh...so you don't carry them?
Employee:  No, we just don't have them in stock.  We'll get some eventually but I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly when.
Customer:  Oh...so...you don't know when?
Employee:  No, we don't.  It could be next week or it could be months.
Customer:  Oh...

*The employee excuses himself from the customer to return to what he was working on originally.  After a few minutes pass, the customer again approaches the employee.*

Customer:  So... so you don't have any team ones?
Employee:  We don't have any in stock right now, no.
Customer:  Oh...so...do you know when you will be getting them in? Cause you used to have them.
Employee:  No we do not.
Customer:  Oh...
