Last Thursday we recieved our first shipment of Christmas catalogues and the in store radio started to play adverts about the coming Christmas range. This has produced two groups of low level SCs.
The first are the ' I heard your radio say...' These listen to everything to radio ad says about the various Christmas gifts but miss the starting and ending lines of 'See our new 2007 catalogue for ....' and 'Coming soon to this store from November' The ads are just to drum up interest in the catalogue. So all day I get:
Customer: Can you show me where < insert christmas gift > is?
Me: I'm sorry we don't start selling the Christmas range until November. We have our gift guide here which lists all the gifts.
Customer: but your radio just said coming soon to this store
Me: Yes ma'am in November
The second group are only annoying because of how many times you hear it, it's actually quite funny more than sucky.
Customers in groups hearing the radio ad: Oh!! christmas so sooon? It's coming earlier and earlier every year. They'll be selling christmas good all year round soon. It's getting stupid ~various other ways of saying too early~
Then after moaning and moaning ~
Customer: Have you got < gift> in yet?
Me: No not till November
Customer: oh what a shame I could have brought that for ____.
0_o It's too early and you spent 5 mintues moaning about it being too early yet now you're wanting to BUY the stuff.
