What should i do about this Jokester friend?

Its the BROWNIE lady! Long time no see! Where ya been? Anything good in your shop for a lady on a diet? I do like jokes, but I do understand that this guy is making a pest of himself. He isn't buying anything and he could be interfering with a sale. But it is a funny joke.

That's a good joke :) I don't know about the customer coming in like that when you are with another customer. Maybe you can politely ask him to wait to tell you the joke when he sees you with another customer :)

String could of said it was yarn. lol Jokes are ok long as I'm not telling them. As many jokes that I've heard over the years, I can't remember a single one. Even if I did, I always mess them up.

Oh my goodness, that was just beyond funny. That made me laugh which was the cure I needed after the day I have been through. To me jokes are the best way to brighten anyones day. I love jokes, I am all the time looking for jokes. I got one for you: Why does the blonde put TGIF's in her shoes? So that she knows that toes goes in first. I got that one from a friend of mine that sent it to me online through myyearbook. Do you know any other jokes? Happy Mylotting

HaHa! Very humorous Dear. I needed that laugh! Usually, Yes, I do like jokes. But only funny ones.

Just do what I do and everytime you see that person coming just be busy, pack something on a shelf, jus try keeping busy.

well, my dad was like that. always telling corny joke but because i loved him, i put up with it. some of the jokes were actually sort of funny! my dad passed away in early february and i miss talking to him. even hearing his silly jokes.

I have a customer that does that too. He's an older guy. I just listen to him and laugh. Most of his jokes are actually pretty funny and he is considerate not to hold up the line for other customers. I actually enjoy listening to him. I wish I could remember some of the jokes to tell later but I'm not a good joke teller

Joke can bring happiness, There is an old Chinese saying:Decade laugh liee, laugh a day is conducive to good health.

I love jokes!! Even the old ones are good to laugh at! I haven't heard from you for a long time, have you been busy or is myLot messing up my notifications again? Jokester customers are such a pleasure yet if they don't realize how important your business is, they can be a detriment. I home your Joker realizes he takes a back seat to the cash register!

You're funny! ..................................and sexy! [i] A drunk walks into a bar and notices a banner that says "win $10,000; ask bartender for details". He asks and the bartender says "well, you see that man at the end of the bar?". The drunk looks over and sees a huge, burley dude. The bartender says "if you can knock him out with one punch, you go to the second step... The door right behind that big guy opens into a room containing an alligator with a sore tooth. If you can pull his tooth and come out alive, you move on to step three... Those stairs next to the door go up to an eighty year old hooker's apartment. She has never been satisfied by any man. If you can satisfy her, you win the money!" The drunk says ok and orders a double shot of whiskey. He belts that down, walks to the end of the bar and POW!, knocks the big dude out. He orders another double, belts it down, walks to the door, steps inside and closes the door. BAM, CRASH, GROWL is all the bartender and patrons can hear for a few minutes and then total silence. Five minutes later, the drunk walks out of the room bloody, clothes shredded. He orders another double, drinks it and says "o.k., where's the hooker with the sore tooth?".[/i]

I think jokes are ok with customers around. As long as they are not dirty and are not bothering the customers. You can tell by body language if he is making someone uncomfortable. So if you notice he is then politely say, "can you wait till I have a second please". He will should understand. I like jokes, that one I haven't heard. It was funny.

I love jokes. I think they help relieve tension and stress. Besides people shouldn't be too serious all the time. A good joke once in awhile is good for the soul. However, about your dilemma, i think the customer has good intentions. He may just want to brighten up your day with a joke or two. That's awfully nice of him. But if you're with a customer, i understand that it can be a little distracting and irritating. So i think the best thing to do is just politely talk to him and remind him that you are busy and it's not really the time for a joke. Hopefully he gets the hint and well,leave you alone, :)
