Most people that I had come in yesterday weren't extremely balls-to-the-walls sucky, but at least tude or annoying.
Your Mom Will Kill You
A kid, around ten comes in with his mom and are looking at the Xbox 360s. I explain to them the difference between new and used, the prices of hard drives, anything they would need to know getting the system. Mom immediately targetted the used one, which is much cheaper but doesn't come with a hard drive, and, after buying the only hard drive we had in stock, would come out more expensive than just getting a new one. I explained this. She yanked the kid over by the door and they began conversing. Oh, okay, well. I started back to my morning work, looking for the mis-scanned cases that were in the wrong spot, which just happened to be the bin by the mom and the kid. I hear:
Mom: I'm not paying 349 dollars for an Xbox!
Kid: It's okay mom, I can just save up more money I didn't know they cost that much, I--
M: -grabs his arm rather roughly- I said I'm not paying that much, you can get something else!
K: I know mom I can just--
M: I'm not doing it! What do you want from me?
K: Ow mom, that hurts, I don't want it anymore, really--
M: -turns to me- We'll go ahead and get the new one.
WTF?! Who the hell was she having a conversation with? Is it Crazy Day? Did I miss the memo?
You're Not Man Enough
A group of college age guys come in and I greet them as I'm supposed to. Immediately one says, "OooOo, welcome to us, oh yeah!"
(Great. Idiots. Worse, idiots who don't know they're idiots.)
I1: Idiot 1
I2: Idiot 2
Me: le sigh.
I1: Do you guys have any used Xbox 360 controllers?
Me: Only wired ones.
I2: GOD! Only wired? We want wireless, do you have any wireless ones?
Me: No, only wired.
I1: If you had them where would they be?
Me: -pointing to the display behind me, which is in clear view- Right there with the other controllers. I can call the other store if you want and see if they have any wireless.
I2: Yeah, you do that, call the other store for me. (I almost rilled my eyes at this. The strain of NOT doing it hurt.)
I call and is told that all they had were pink ones. It was suggested that I question their manhood if they didn't want pink. At that point they had wandered away, but eventually came back.
I2: Do they have any?
Me: If you like pink, they do.
I1: Aw man, we can't use pink. God!
Me: You could always paint it a more 'manly' color. (whoops!)
I2: Nah we're good.
Meanwhile, the third guy was staring at me intensely like he either wanted me to be his best friend or was trying to make my head explode. (It already has, friend of idiots, it already has..)
Drawing the Wrong Conclusion
We closed. We finally closed. When we close and are doing the closing work, we pull gates over the windows and halfway down the door. There's also a Closed sign. But did that stop eleven (I counted, by god, I counted) people from trying to pull the door open? No. Of course it didn't. Because closed gates and a closed sign blazing like the freaking sun aren't an indication that the doors will be locked. Nngh.
