Or is it "Nickle?" I can't remember.
I work at "Aid of Rite".
Rebate/Clearance Bumfuckery
Rrr, people do not realize that "Clearance: Stickered Items ONLY" and "Mail in Rebate of $X off!" signs mean that the sticker DOES NOT apply to every item on that damn shelf.
1. Lady comes up with a box of Feria hairdye. "50% off!" </snap>
Me:"Ok. Color number is 40...be right back."
I find the sign and I'm right, it says "Clearance" on several of the other hairdyes on the shelf tag and said hairdyes have round Clearance stickers on them and the sign says "STICKERED ITEMS ONLY".
Me: "Ok. That hairdye is not 50% off because it's not a clearance item."
L: "The SIGN says it is!"
Me: "The sign also says "STICKERED ITEMS ONLY". Anything that has a round sticker on it is part of the sale."
L: "Well why didn't it SAY that?"
Me: "It does if you look closely, ma'am."
L: HUFF!!!!!!
2. Lady. "Excuse me! Those bath toys should be only $1!"
Said bath toys are Spongebob Squarepants squirt toys, at least 6 to a bag and $8 and NOT clearance. "Ok..."
L: "Lemme show you!" *we wander around the store aimlessly because she had forgotten where she picked them up from and if she had LISTENED to me they were literally 20 feet up the aisle from my register* "See! Here they are!"
Me: "No they're not, that's $1 mail in rebate we have."
L. "*blink* Oh. Ok. Sorry."
At least she wasn't much of an SC, but honestly...there's been too many people after her who don't have that happy ending and who go "Well that's FALSE ADVERTISING!!!!!!eleventybillion!11~!" and who huff off when I dig my heels in.
YES! WIN!
Yes, I'm short. Yes, I'm very short. And yes I have an attitude. Having gotten sick of hearing "I didn't see you!" especially from 6 foot tall men, my semi snarky comeback is now, "If I had a nickel for everytime I heard that, I would be rich." Shuts them up or makes them backpedal and embarrasses them slightly.
Which is ultimately what I want, to make them reconsider that their comment, although not hurtful, is irksome.
867?
I've been getting text messages about my ATM card being disconnected from a "credit union" based in Moncton, New Brunswick. Reason why I say "Credit union" is that they claim my account with them has expired and to call them back at that number. I only know it's in Moncton because I googled the number. It's HIGHLY unlikely that some lonely credit union in a city in Canada I've never been to or heard of until Friday suddenly deactivated my account with "loads of cash" in it and would text me with that message because it's "emergency and urgent".
I wish I could scam the scammers but I'm not brave enough to. Oh well. >_> Anybody have suggestions? I won't do them but it's fun to speculate.
