  • I can haz more unnecessary work

    Should you read anything in the newspaper or on the Internets about somebody in a store in Wisconsin going all Conan The Librarian on somebody and slicing them in half, it's probably me. Bail money will be most appreciated.

    We have a video rocker on clearance for $9.99. These are basically cheap, crappy, uncomfortable, narrow chairs designed to watch TV or play video games in. We've got about 15 of them left and they're on pull tag.

    So instead of taking a tag to the cashier and having a video rocker personally delivered to his car, guess what this dry-pool diving team member did today? He took the display off the salesfloor and dropped it in his cart.

    Along with the sign and pull tags for it.

    After he checked out, he chucked the sign and pull tags, still in the plastic signholder, into the garbage can outside the doors.

    So whenever I get a chance, I will have to replace the display on the floor. This won't be so hard: all I have to do is take the chair out of its protective bag and unfold.

    However, I also have to have new signs made for the display.
    And I have to replace the pull tags.
    Also I have to print up red clearance stickers for each tag and attach them to the tags, because company standards mandate that when we make pull tags for clearance furniture items, we have to put a red clearance sticker on them with the original price, so that customers can see what a fantastic deal they're getting.

    And all because of some nimrod who confused our pull tags for complimentary scratch-offs or something.

      He just thinks that everything is pre-marked by third-world children and all you have to do is push a button and a new display will magically appear. Because God knows that retail employees don't ever have do any actual work. So really it was no problem!

        There was a UPC barcode on the bottom of the chair.

          Chant the mantra...

          Numbnuts almost gone, Numbnuts almost gone, Numbnuts almost gone... (not the same thread at all, but perhaps it eases the sting of stupidity?)

          I haven't lost my brain - but you get another shot of Tequila tomorrow (vicariously of course).
          No... Just No! And I mean it this time!
