Of memory lapses and hidden objects

WRITE IT DOWN!

Seriously, just... just write it down. I don't watch TV for the ADVERTS. I watch Mythbusters at 9 at night, not Salut Bonjour at 4 in the morning.

Several instances:

SC: Do you have (genre of music CD) that they showed on TV?

Me: Possibly? What's it called, so I can check?

SC: Oh, I don't know the name.

Me: The singer?

SC: He passed on *popular show I don't watch*

Me: okay... was that recently? Or the year before, so I can wiki it?

SC: The CD just came out!

Me: (Oy vhey) yes but with no clue, I can't begin to look for it.

SC: It just passed on TV (this morning-last week-two weeks ago)!

Me: But I didn't see it, I watch very little tv, you didn't write it down?

SC: IT PASSED AT SALUT BONJOUR!

Me: MA'AM, Salut bonjour runs from 4:30 AM to 6:30 AM! I'm asleep then!

Or!

SC: They showed it on TV!

Me: And you didn't write it down?

SC: THEY SHOWED IT ON TV!!!!

Lather-rinse-repeat, all the customers can remember ofthat super special important must have CD is that it said "Available at Mart of Hells". Not the genre, not the artist, not the name, no, it's available at "Store I'm obviously NOT"!

Oi.

"How come the CD I put aside is no longer here?"

Me: Because we called you every week for a month and you never picked it up, then we even gave you an extra 2 months grace period and you never picked it up. So we sold it.

SC: Can I get my deposit back?

Me: 3 months. With constant calling.

SC: So it's a no, huh.

Me:

I ordered it eons ago! Why don't you remember?

Playboy, Millionnaire, Philantropist. Oops, sorry, wrong alter-ego.

Because it was eons ago, I'm on my lunch break and I pass 100+ customers daily.

Stop giving me those "I'm passing a watermelon whole" eyes. Once the order is passed, I have no control on when it shows up and you showed up on the weekend when their offices are closed, I can't call them.

Also you're not that important since I've never seen you you before you ordered the game and never after until today.


This one is all me

Because I like to tease nice customers.

NC: Excuse me, do you have hidden objects games?

ME: Yes I do!

NC: Where are they?

Me: They're hidden objects. You have to find them.

NC: ... Oh!

I did end up pointing her to them, I'm mischievious, not (completely) evil.

Might have more later, the day is young.

I'm not surprised you feel indifferent to their suffering.Passing a watermelon whole is fairly impressive...but 100+ customers a day... Ouch!

*quietly starts humming Ring of Fire*.....

They do not know true butthurt.

I get the commercial thing at least once a day. Or people with questions from a newspaper/magazine. Very few bring in the pages needed for said product. I don't read magazines unless its a rock or metal one, nor do I pick up the fish wrap they call news. And fewer describe the product in some detail.

I had one person say that there was a new hair product out and a girl from Glee was promoting it. I said I don't watch Glee nor do I have cable to watch TV. I watch Netflix. This was before I started watching Hulu. She was absolutely shocked I don't watch TV (what kind of person in the gay community doesn't watch the glorious Glee? ). I found the product anyways cause it was the only new hair product we had at the time.

Heh! I shocked a customer like that who asked me if we had any fabric with Duck Dynasty characters. I had no idea what that was. She couldn't believe I didn't watch TV!

[Kazim]

My parents practically worship that show. If I wanna see scary guys in giant beards so bad, I'll Skype uncle Ron.

If I wanna see scary guys with giant beards, I watch WWE for the Wyatt Family.

I have people in the same sentence marvel at how much sewing I get done and wonder why on earth I don't watch TV.

[Aethian]

Loved the last one.

Dear God, they're everywhere.

/watched Duck Dynasty a couple times, thought it was all right, but not appointment TV
/works in a store that carries Duck Dynasty merchandise of every race and religion. Like we need 2,749 red plastic party cups with Si on them.
/has a sister who once sold a Kindle Fire to Si

I don't get that as much working at the Bullseye, but I used to get it in spades working at the Aid of Rite. Specifically it was in regards to the prepaid credit cards. When I was living in Vermont we couldn't sell them because of tax laws or whatever reason, which lead to the, "But the commercial said all Aid of Rites sold them". Someone who watches TV that closely could have at least read the fine print at the bottom of the commercial.

I liked that last one. My favorite customers are the ones who can appreciate a good natured bit of teasing every now and again.

Duck Dynasty characters? Would that be Donald and Daisy Carrington?

Like we need 2,749 red plastic party cups with Si on them.

Do they also have No on them (most likely on the bottom), so that you can leave a "standing order" for when the waiter comes around with more cerveza?

It's amazing how many of us don't watch tv/ have cable / rely on Netflix.

I haven't had cable in about a decade. If someone mentions a show that's on Netflix, I'll check it out, but otherwise... Pbtttth. I don't seek out new shows often.

We haven't had cable or dish in about 2 yrs now. We got the Roku boxes. I even got one for the bedroom tv for my birthday. I watch things on Netflix and on Amazon. We do get a few channels on local tv. Watch the news and some network shows but that's it.
