It's always funny (or annoying) when patients from a different country come into the pharmacy looking for help. I really don't mind as long as they're good hearted and open to the Canadian concept of a pharmacy.
Seven young Chinese students, all in their early twenties came to the pharmacy and asked about omega fish oils. I took them to the natural health food aisle and showed them what they needed. As I was leaving, one of them asked...
Student 1: What about for buns
Me: buns?
Student 2: yeah buns (points to his knee)
Me: I'm sorry, what?
Student 1: you know, b-o-n-e-s
Me: Oh! Bones!
All 7 students: BONES! (clapping)
I swear when they realized it was pronounced "bones" they clapped and cheered like they were on a Japanese game show.

Since I work for a grocery chain, I get to interact with the front store staff; this means I get to overhear their conversations in the break room. Here's a particularly odd one:
Staff: "wait, did I call you, or did you call me?... what?... no, I swear I didn't call you!"
LOL

Here's one to show that I'm not the only one who gets the strange ones:
Technician: hello, how can I help you?
Customer: where's the "vagi-sal"?
Technician: Vagisil? it's down aisle 8
Customer: ok, thanks (goes to aisle 8)
Technician: Wait is it down aisle 8?
Me: I think it's in 10
Technician: oh (searches for patient)
Technician: (comes back) oh dear
Me: what?
Technician: she was looking for "veggie-salt"
Me: lol, what the heck is that?
