Not all of these are from retail but they are all pretty funny.  Not sure who decided to give away Coke during a diabetes campaign, but you’d think they would have least selected Diet Coke instead.   And having worked at Staples, I can tell you that we often did run out of staples.  When we had them, we always had customers who were upset that they were a pack of 3 and they couldn’t just get one.  Same with envelopes–“Don’t you have a box with like just 10 in it?”   Yes, because offices only need 10 envelopes at a time…
