You sold my son porn!
Whilst I was away on my break, a customer whom I'd just sold a PS2 memory card to called my manager, and got angry.
Call went something like a-dis:
"That girl told me there were no new PS2 memory cards! There's pornographic material on this card! Why didn't you erase the card before selling it to my son!"
M: "Ma'am, she did NOT tell you there were no new cards, she said she knew there were used cards, but didn't know about new. We do roughly $300 in trade daily, ma'am, there's no way we can go into each and every memory card we get in trade and erase all the games. Not to mention, I heard her tell you how to erase save games while you were standing there waiting for the transaction to go through. Plus, unless you have the game physically, you can't access the information on the save card. She's new at that."
"Well, why are you putting new people out on the floor?"
M: "I'll do whatever I want, it's my store currently. I'll staff it with monkeys, and not even monkeys that are trained, oh no, I'll use the feces throwing ones, if I so desire."
Woman came in after manager had gone home, I pawned her off on one of my GA's, cause I had the feeling she wouldn't like anything I had to say during the transaction. She seemed nice as pie to the GA.
I want to rob you!
Guy comes up to me about an hour before close.
G: "Hey, where do you put your real Wii's?"
M: *blink, blink* "Nowhere you can get to them."
G: "Well, where would you put them so I can just drive by and check without getting out of the car?"
M: *trying hard not to laugh at the moron* "Yes, sir, we'll just leave our high-ticket, high-theft risk items out on the sales floor so you don't have to get out of your car to ask us if we have any in stock. Use the phone, call us."
I have no idea what my DS has on it!
Phone: *bring*
M: *usual spiel*
W(oman on phone): Yes, my kid has a DS Lite, and it's breaking down constantly, particularly the button on the flip part."
M: *blink, blink* "Button on the flip part?"
W: "Yes, the button on the back of the screen?"
M: "Ma'am, I have a DS Lite, and there is no button on the back of the screen. I have no idea what you're talking about."
W: "No need to be smart! *click*"
M: *to myself* Durrr!"
I'm a guitar freak!
These two ladies came up to me, looking for a Flying Vee guitar for Guitar Hero (thanks to my GA for figuring out the style's name). We had none.We don't sell guitars separately from the game to my knowledge.
I point out when they make a purchase that we are reserving for GH 3, which comes with a Le' Paul guitar for the PS3 version, and something else for the PS2.
L1: "It's Les Paul."
M: "I'm not really into guitars, thanks for the knowledge."
Seriously, I had no clue. And that wasn't what made me angry at her. I do that sort of thing to customers all the time, so why should I be angry at getting it back at me?
What pissed me off was when she asked me to call another store to see if they had any of the guitars. I got the GA there on the phone, and started to ask him if he had any, and pointed out to the lady that I didn't think we sold the guitars separately. "Well, can you ask anyway?"
Yes... I ask, no luck. They give up and head out.
I turn to my GA and say, "Well, can you ask anyway? It's Les Paul!"
