What's the Difference?

One day as I was filing TV shows that we had just got in stock; a customer approached me and asked me for some help with something. Obviously, I went over to try to help him. Basically, the guy was looking for something to watch and wanted my opinion. He was in the ‘A’ section looking at Alias and Alien Nation, which were right beside each other.

I smiled and asked what he needed help with. He responded by telling me that he needed help figuring out what the difference was between Alias and Alien Nation. First of all, they are not even remotely similar shows. NOT EVEN CLOSE. But this man just could not process why they were different TV shows. I tried to explain to him that they were about completely different subjects… set in completely different places (seeing as Alien Nation was set on another planet). He just kept asking over and over again why they were different.

The encounter ended with me walking away completely baffled that anyone could be that slow. He didn’t appear to be stupid or anything, but I guess looks can be deceiving.

Haha ya I think something was very wrong with him, but I still tried to put up with him for as long as possible! :)
