I work in a very customer service oriented job that requires me to be subservient to do a good job. I am good at it, but REALLY love it when I am not at work and get to vent on SC’s that are not MY customers.
I was in my local game store looking for Wii games when some Wal-mart reject mom comes up to the counter with a copy of Rockband in her grubby dirty hands. She says to the clerk “I got my kid this game, but he can’t play it without other people. Do you have a one player version?”
I chimed in: Yeah, it is called Guitar hero.
Lady: Ok (looks at clerk) I want that.
Clerk: Well, Guitar hero is a different game entirely. You have already opened this so I can’t return it, but right behind you are the Guitar Hero games for sale.
Lady: JEAZSUS These are $80 FKING DOLLARS! I already bought this game. You can’t charge me for another game just like it. (points at me) He told me that I can have the one person game.
Me: Maam, do you see my really nice (game store) uniform I have on? (holding up hands like Vana White)
Lady: No (with a confused / deer in headlights look)
Me: That is because I don’t work here. You know another great way to tell that I don’t work here? I think you are mentally challenged on some level because you thought that I did work here. Guitar hero is a single or multi player game. Rockband is a group game. How many Rock Bands do you know of that only have one member? None, otherwise it would be called a “Rock Person” (I make little quote marks in the air with my fingers sometimes when insulting someone). A band implies more than one person. I would suggest either buying Guitar hero for your kid or having him make some friends.
Lady: (not quite sure how to respond to all the words that just smacked her in the face) well….How is he supposed to make friends?
Me: (eye her top to well rounded) I would suggest adoption.
The lady looked at me gruffly and walked out silently.
As soon as the door touched closed the clerk busted up laughing, and I had to stand there while he recanted the story to his co-worker.
Before it even starts, yes I was a complete jerk to her, but I believe in fight fire with fire.
