I Won't Remember

I walk into Jessops today to get some old photos developed. I hand over my film and the woman behind the counter takes my details (for the purpose of getting my film developed and returned you understand). Asking what size I want, I reply 'oh, just the standard size'. She then says 'do you mean small?'
'umm possibly? you know, the regular size prints.'
'you can get them in small, standard or a variety of larger sizes.'
'I just want the normal size you know, like the standard photo size.'
'Our standard size is larger than the standard size, I think you mean our small size.'
'So the traditional standard size is your small size?'
'Yes.'
'Oh. I see.'
'So what size would you like your prints?'
'The small one?'
'So that's the traditional standard size one then?'
'Erm... You haven't got an example I can point at?'

so, so many customer service people suck. Which make me wonder why on earth companies turn me down when I'm obviously such a nice, knowledgable guy. And now I have a summer job that will probably feature no contact with the outside world, lol
