And yet, today is a day that will live in (the opposite of infamy):
Guh?
Due to nobody being scheduled for carryouts and the one salesfloor person in hardlines taking a break, I had the following outside call inflicted upon me:
Me: Hello, Health and beauty aids, how can I help you.
Caller: What is your price on dehumidifiers? I need one for my kid's room.
Me: Did you mean a humidifier?
Caller: What's the difference?
Me:
Umm, let's see: One adds moisture to the air and is very handy to have in the winter. The other is a big oxy thing that removes moisture from the air and isn't too useful currently.
They ain't making them any smarter around here.
Sit on it
We are running a buy one-get one free special on barstools. The first barstool is regular price.
Got called to carryout 4 barstools for a customer--they turned out to be backless, stationary wooden stools in an espresso finish. Got them loaded up and delivered to the customer--who declared they were the wrong ones.
I brought up the ones that matched the tags she brought up. She insisted the ones she wanted were different, so I schlepped back to furniture with her to check things out after she got her money back.
The barstools I brought out are $39.99 apiece. In the space for the display of that stool, there was a different one.
This one was in an oak finish, had a fabric seat and a back, and swivels. It sells for $119.99. So what happened was somebody took that barstool off the shelf to take an up-close and personal look at it, and then either they put it back in the wrong spot or left it and a salesfloor warm body put it back in the wrong spot.
So I had to tell her if she wanted 4 of those stools, she would be paying $160 more than she originally planned. It may surprise you to learn she didn't like that.
No, I am going to give her the $119.99 stools for $39.99, or else we will be guilty of false advertising. And she'd like to speak to a manager.
Sorry, you stupid bimbo, people misplacing things is not false advertising. It is people being lazy pigs. I ended up calling the store manager, who nicely told her to go screw and she left without buying anything.
Show me a store which prides itself on being "customer-friendly" and "interactive" and displays merchandise in such a way as to "allow customers to easily examine the merchandise and imagine how it will look in their home or on their body", and I'll show you a store that is always hopelessly trashed. If it were up to me, those barstool displays would be secured to the wall or shelf so they can't be picked up or moved.
