Sundamned of the day
Wow. weeks of mild irritations culminating into today from hell. It's all kinds of little tidbits of various forum themes, but better to clusterflack them here than write them all seperated.
HULK SMASH
Little girl rips off entire shelf of PS3 games.
Not "little girl leans on shelf and everything came tumbling down"
Not "Little girl tries to climb on shelves and one let go."
Little girl deliberately, with all her strength, RIPPED the shelf off the wall (hook shelf, easy to remove, but still) and threw it and its contents on the ground.
At least her mom had the sense to be embarrassed and helped me pick up the games. Her little brother did his best to help too, but he was a wee toddler with his wee hands encased in too big for him mittens. Kudos for the effort tho, lil guy gets A+.
Of course the little girl didn't help.
HULK DEMANDS DISCOUNT
Two different things, one big happy family.
Little girl in second family had no concept of an indoor voice. I mean LOUD. I mean the tone and projection I use to stop kids from stealing toys kinda loud. ALL THE TIME. FOR EVERYTHING. WITH NO PATIENCE.
And her father? one of our newer techs, demanding his employee discount for every item his son points at.
Now we don't have a discount on any consoles. Ever.
No.
No.
NO.
NO.
Yes, I'm sure.
NO.
NO!
We do on games and I will give it to you if you buy a game, but no, not on the Pikachu 3DS!
*his wife buys it, with a game*
YES I GAVE YOU THE DISCOUNT ON THE GAME!!!!
And speaking of...
PET PEEVES
- It's 3DS, not DS3. You are not all suddenly dyslexic, people.
- Since they split it into Modern Warfare and Black Ops, no, telling me Call of Duty 4 will not net you the game you're thinking of.
- No. It's called Left 4 Dead because you have 4 characters. It's not Left for Dead 4. There's not even a 3 yet.
- No, GTA V is not out yet. YES I know when it comes out, don't assume I don't know and dismiss me as I try to answer you! I'm not here cuz I got pretty eyes!
- The Kinect is an accessory. The Xbox is not called Kinect. Yes you need an Xbox.
- No. WiiU Games do not work on the Wii. Yes, I'm sure. Yes, they got the same name. Have you tried sticking a SNES cart in a NES? But they got the same name!
Exactly.
- No, New Super Mario Bros U will never be on the Wii.
- Seriously kid, the store is as big as my bum. You do not need to scream at the tippy top of your lungs to alert your dad that you found the skylanders.
- I'm sorry. I asked for a phone number, but it's not a timed contest. You get no prize for rattling it off at Mach 1.
Also, area code. Yes, I need it. it's not automatically XXX, we have numbers in the XXY and YYY regions too.
- Ma'am, when I tell you the phone skins are in the phone department and point you at the in-store phone department and you look at my finger as I point...
Why then did you leave the store to go in the out-of-store video game department and accused me of sending you there?
- Yes, I SWEAR the different sizes of Xbox will work the exact same... the Gs means the MEMORY, NOT the PERFORMANCE.
- I just told you not to touch the XBox when a game was in it!!! WHY did you lift it to dust under it while your kid was playing???
BUT I THOUGHT...
Okay, this one I can give him some leeway. Most custom controllers fit all games. I understand that. You buy a Tomb Raider controller, it's just applique paint on the controller. It will work the same in Rayman. Console dun care.
HOWEVER....
Don't tell me that you thought the controller was made especially for war games when you bring it back and it says "SPECIAL FERRARI EDITION", is painted in the Ferrari colors, sports the Ferrari logo and boasts "enhanced controls for racing games".
SRSLY.
Then I find out the electronics clerk that replaced Jo for his break not only filled this customer with bullshit about the controller, but had also given him a discount.
Weeeeee are not supposed to do that. They can in the electronics dept, they are even encouraged, but when we do it, we get yelled at.
You'd think with the amount of stories I tell my co-workers about people demanding discounts that I refuse would sink in but no.
Now we gonna get shit for it AGAIN.
I'm so tired.
