Oi Gevalt!
I'm not from here!
Starting light (and dumb)
We have a life size cardboard cutout of Bella, Edward and Jacob at the entrance of the store. Says TWILIGHT in the middle. Below it is a tagline that says, pretty much, "Comes out in XX days!" And we change the days everyday.
LIFESIZED CARDBOARD CUTOUT OF THE TWILIGHT CAST.
SC: Hello! Do you sell the new Twilight movie?
Me: No ma'am, in 8 days!
SC: *look of utter disbelief*
Me: It's written on the cutout *points*
SC: Well I'm not from this town!
NO. *slap* You say "I'm sorry, I didn't see it." You do not blame the local geography for your own oversight. You FAIL.
Let me waste your time!
Customer comes in, leans on the counter and stares. This is gonna be fun.
SC: "I put a game here."
Me: "...yes?" (waiting for either the name of the customer or the name of the game)
SC: "Do you still have it?"
Me: "Which game was it?"
SC: "A DS game."
*slap* NO! You specify it right now and name it! You FAIL!
Me: *looking in our two reservation drawers* "Well under what name was it?"
SC: *name*
Me: "Hmmm... I can't seem to find it."
SC: "Well did you put it back on sale? It was awhile ago! Nobody called me!"
I open up the lady's (?) order, and lo and behold, a note saying "Customer was told game arrived" With the date and my initials. Then another one under it dated a month later with my manager's initials "game put back on shelf, taking depot as penalty". Well hello there, part where it gets fun!
Me: "seems we did call you ma'am, look." *point*
SC: Nobody called me!
Me: "Ma'am look, right here, customer was told game arrived.
SC: "Nobody called me!!"
Me: "Ma'am, we reached SOMEBODY at this account."
SC: *looks* Oh, that's right, I never gave my phone number and this isn't my name, but NOBODY CALLED ME!!!!"
Me: *gives her the LOOK*
SC: "Well, anyway, I came to tell you I'm not taking the game anymore."
*slap* We noticed after 2 months of no-show, dumbass. You make me go through all this searching only to tell me you dun wan it no mo? You FAIL!
Might have more to come, depends how they behave. I did have one guy two days ago describe in detail all his various ills and aches along with visual aids I did not need.
NEW: Just got a customer who considered Bejeweled too complicated for his grandfather.
I am questioning the amount of mobility that poor grandfather has.
NEW 2: Customer holds the box for the pink wiimote, STARES at said pink wiimote, then asks me if the wiimote is pink.
Considering bourbon after work.
I don't drink.
I'm not from here!
