Today was full of idiots, compounded by the fact that I worked for 90% of the time the store was open today, but even my boss agreed they were coming out of the woodworks today. Best example is below.
....Yes....really....I'm fairly confident...
Had a group of three people come in and wander around the store, occasionally bringing stuff up to the register to ask about it. Apparently I missed the 20 minute long conversation about the fact that he had a card....that said.... he worked.... at......uh...........................Best.......bu y..................for a year....? All conversations had these weirdly long pauses where they'd appear to shut off. The two most memorable moments from the group, both the two 20-30 year olds and the one grandparent age man.
Me:
OG: Old guy
OG:"Do... you have... Luigi's mansion.... for... the ds?"
Me: "Not for the regular DS, and we have just the download codes for the 3ds right now, I'm afraid we're out of solid copies."
OG:"Huh... well... I like mario, and gorsh durng it (direct phrasing, from an old man. apparently this happens) if I had that system that'd be the GAME I'D BUY. *sage nod, savagely taps our display of Luigi's mansion* "WHO YOU GONNA CALL?"
Me: "Ghostbusters?"
OG: *Broad grin*
the other two bring up a ds game. It is titled "WORLD POOL CHAMPIONSHIPS" it has a picture of a pool(or billiard if you like) table on the front, with the balls on the table and crossed cue sticks behind the title. The back talks about pool. There's an 8 ball on the spine.
Guy: "....Is this game about...... pool?"
Me: *stares at case for a moment as brain tries to think of ANYTHING else a game with that cover could be about.* "Yes.... I'm reasonably confident that's a game about pool"
Girl: "So, like the game on the green table, right?"
Me: "the one that's on the cover.... yes."
Guy: "Is it online?! We had a darts game that could only be played online!!"
Me *thought*-not on the ds you didn't "No, this one can be played on just your ds"
Guy: "And...................it's about pool right?"
Not anytime soon
A guy came in from another store to pick up the Sonic Sega Genesis Collection for XB360
Man:
Man: "Man, I'm so happy to get this" *pauses, and then with complete seriousness* "So when do you think the SNES collection is going to come out for the XB360?"
Me: *record scratch noise* "When.... do I think the Nintendo exclusive system games are going to come out on a microsoft platform?"
Man: "Yup?"
Me: "I don't think Nintendo would ever give anyone else the rights to do such a thing."
Man: "But Sega did it."
Me: "Sega is, for good or bad, no longer making systems though...."
The door.
Dear people of our outdoor mall. I have a question to ask. When our gate is DOWN. We are past the mall's closing time for retail stores, our light is off, what is it that compels you to yank hard or knock on our door? Assuming we did open up, what exactly would you do? If you're not assuming we're going to open, why yank on the door? Are you hoping to find it open to steal/vandalize? Seriously though. Why?!
