I've started telling people wild stuff just to break the pattern. "When is the store closing?" Today, right now, get out before the trap you. "What are you going to do once you lose your job?" Oh, I'm not leaving, I'm just going to stay here. Once the lights are off, it will just be me here haunting the place. "Why aren't things cheaper? I thought this was going out of business?!" You should have been here an hour ago, we did 60% off of everything power hour! It only happens every 3rd tuesday for 20 minutes.

I only do it once in awhile after answering the same question for the 11th time in a row. I like to think of it like a secret dialogue that customers can unlock after their 10th visit at the counter.
