Oh, Walmart...

I'm at Wal-Mart (not a fan) waiting for my prescription to be filled, and there was a page on the overhead system:

"Customer needs assistance in little boys pants."

BLINK.
BLINK.BLINK.

"I repeat, customer needs assistance in little boys' pants."


Yes, I heard that right.

Sometimes there are ways of wording things to avoid sounding absolutely, ridiculously awful. And most of us have made the mistake of poor phrasing before, but hopefully it wasn't over a PA system, causing the customers to glance at each other to see if they heard what they thought they heard :)
