I've been wanting to do this topic for a while, so I figured I might as well do it now.
Because I have all the exercise equipment in my department, as well as being located by Furniture, Electronics, and Layaway (not much longer), I end up doing a lot of the carryouts for my store. While they are nice to do when bored or with nothing important immediately needing to be done, they can still suck. And take in mind, with me working at Wal-Mart, all the furniture is in boxes and is not assembled
Most carryouts go off without a hitch, but a few memorable ones, both good and bad, stick out in my mind.
Good ones (There's enough negativity in my posts as it is, so I'll start with the good stuff)
- A guy who bought an entire furniture collection (about three pieces of a particular set) and pulled up in a U-Haul truck, I couldn't have been happier
- They guy who bought 20 folding canopies (total came out to almost $2000, he worked for a city) and pulled up in a flatbed truck.
- The 20 minute break the furniture guy and I got to have after someone's wife picked up their layaway, realized it wouldn't fit, and we got to sit outside until someone with a Suburban drove up
- And finally, the guy that bought furniture out of all it's folding chairs, required two pallet jacks to take them all, and had us load it all into his Yukon
Now for the bad
- The dresser I took out for this girl who had to be close to my age. She pulled up in a yellow Mustang. That's not the bad part, the car was a convertible with the top down. What was bad was the huge pit bull she had sitting in the passenger seat that probably would have ripped my hand off had I tried to pet it
- The guy who called ahead to get FOUR armoire sets that were on clearance, and pulled up in a 2007 Camry. It took us two associates 20 minutes to load all those armoires into the car, to which the guy said, "I guess I should have just got two instead)
-The guy who wanted me to put a 27-inch TV into the back of a Geo Metro
-The guy who was PISSED because we couldn't fit a 52-inch TV into his Impala. When asked if he had a truck, he said hew did, but he didn't feel like driving down the street to get it
- And finally, my friends parents, people who I have known since I was 8, picking up an entertainment center they put on Layaway. Knowing perfectly well they had an F-150, I had hopes. They pulled in their Camry, explained they were half-way there when they realized they should have brought the truck. It fit no problem, but I can't help bu think that I was only not mad at them because I knew them.
There's more, but this post is long enough. I'll post the rest later
