Haha, I feel your pain, I worked at a restaurant before the job I have now (Petco) and I have seen people make the waitresses cry before.
It's even worse working at a petstore, though, because not only are there the usual a**holes, but you get questions like this - "I just found out my son hasn't been feeding our gecko, so I think it's been about four months since it last ate, what should I feed it?"
"My turtle's head is falling off, what should I do?"
"Do you carry baby savannah monitors?" -- "No ma'am, we don't." -- "Then what are those?" *woman points to baby leopard geckos with very obviously marked sign saying "leopard geckos" in front of them*
"If I keep this snake in a small cage, it'll stay small, right? I just want it to stay a baby forever!"
"I just got this lizard at a swap meet, can you tell me what it is?" (nine times out of ten it's a baby iguana that looks like it's about to have a heart attack)
My personal favorite -
"Can't you just give the bearded dragons salads and they'll become vegetarian?"
I can't even imagine what Walmart or Sam's club must be like!
