The DaVinci code dimwit

[Crow The Robot]

A woman comes into the WM where I work and asks what price the DaVinci code will be tomorrow. (?) The associate told her $19.98, and she goes nuts:
HER: But, I was just in there and it was $15.98!!!! You all are screwing me over!!!! I wanna manager!!!!!!
Manager: Yes ma'am?
HER: Why is The Da Vinci Code $19.98 to morrow I just came in and it was $15.98!!!!
Manager: The sale is from 11-14 til 11/20.
HER: I didn't se any godd-mn sale.
Manager< shows her sale flyer with bold lettering which reads price good until 11/20, and the 15.98 price which says price good 'til 11-20. >
HER: I want it for 15.98, tomorrow. You have to give it to me for $15.98 it's the law.
Manager: No, we don't actually.
HER: So I just got screwed over!!!!! Give ut to me for 15.98 tomorrow!!!!
Manager: Ma'am the sale ends today.
HER: So, I don't give a sh-t , Give it to me for $15.98 tomorrow!!!! !%.98 tomorrow!!!!!!

Sometimes the medication just doesn't take, I guess.

Ooooh, a -a-thon.

That woman has a great many issues, not least of which include her lack of logic.

Although...maybe she didn't have the money for it right away?

It wasn't THAT good of a movie...... yeesh.

That she asked the question as to what its price would be tomorrow tells you she already KNEW about the sale ending today. (I know you caught that, but I too often state the obvious anyway.)

The woman probably thought she could be clever by throwing a fit like that to get the manager to agree to hold it for her at that price just to get her to shut up and leave. Any bets that she had no intention of returning until her pay day and then demanding the DVD be sold to her at the sale price because the manager promised it to her?

I can't wait to hear what happens when she comes back in!

[tintaglia]

We ALL know what will happen! She will come in, find some poor unsuspecting staff member (if she can, it'll be a newbie) and tell them she was promised the sale price and she 'won't leave without it!'
The chances are she will actually speak to the same people who will politely tell her she was told nothing of the sort, and to buy it full price, or leave

When I was much younger and in retail, it was known as pre-pay-day raincheck phenomenon. People essentially wanted sales extended till they had money in hand because they didn't have it now.

One place I worked tried out rainchecks for sales where you could get a guarantee of being charged the sale price on the day you redeemed it but you were charged a non-refundable upfront fee equivalent to the difference between the regular price and the sale price.

No one ever caught on and the head cashier would just roll her eyes and shake her head every time as people paid $10 to not save $10 as they thought they would three days from now.

Ah, the short sightedness of the harpies of avarice and greed...

If it was so all-fired important, why the hell didn't she just buy it today?

If it was so all-fired important, why the hell didn't she just buy it today?

The answer's simple: If it walks like a jerkoff, shops like a jerkoff and acts like a jerkoff, well then it sure as hell aint The Pope!

[PorkChop]

What a clown! I have heard that the DaVinci Code wasn't a good movie anyways.

[BlakeMP]

I'd say it wasn't a good movie or book... but that's neither here nor there.

[kerrisan]

Ow . . . my brain a splode!

Maybe she coldn't afford it then? I dunno . . . I'd like to think that people aren't that stupid . . .

unfortunately, a lot are.

What a clown! I have heard that the DaVinci Code wasn't a good movie anyways.

I liked it.... You have your characters you love, your characters you hate.... And that one poor sap so abused and brainwashed you just wanted to hold him and show him the light....

::boggle:: How's she figure she got screwed over if she hasn't actually paid anything yet?
