I demand you control...

[mikoyan29]

..the weather.

SC: Well, you MUST call them ant demand they must stop those storms!

Wow...VRS' customers are multiplying.

[BrenDAnn]

Yeah, sure, lady, we'll just send the guys out there to form a human barrier to keep the storms from hitting us. Whatever you say. Oh, those guys in the white coats? They're friendly, really. They want to take you somewhere and have a nice talk with you.

The refrigerated truck thing? Obviously not someone who has been around trucks at ALL. It would blow her mind to know that the truck that delivers to my c-store has a freezer unit, a refrigerated unit, and the rest of the trailer is just warm.

[Kristev]

Personally, I'd rather create storms than banish them.

[wolfie]

Control the weather
SC: *stomps up to me as we begin to restock the open cases* Excuseeee meeeeee!
M: Can I help you?
SC: Yes! It seem you have lost power several times recently.
M; Yes, we have.
SC: It is a inconvenience for me. (and a bigger one for us, dumb ass)
M: Ok.
SC: Why don't you call <power company> and tel them to fix it!?
M: Well, the recent outages were caused by sever storms that brought down trees on to wires. Their is only so much that can be do to prevent that.*

Would you eat it?
I was taking some product to a display across store, wen I see a SC arguing with one of the dept. managers. I catch part of the conversation.

SC: But you lost power!
M: Yes, we lost power, however we covered all the cases to keep the product cold, and transferred it to a refrigerated truck.
SC: Trucks aren't cold!
M: There are refrigerated, they have a refrigeration unit on them to keep them cold.
SC: suuuree. Whatever. Let me ask you this, would you eat that food?
M: Yes.
SC: You! *looks at me* Would you eat that food that you had when you lost power?
ME: Yes. It is safe, I along with M have worked power outages and we keep it cold one way or another.
SC: I don't buy it. It's not safe!

The SC stomps off, they are later seen buying our supposedly unsafe food.

Preventing storm damage: I'd like to see someone tell the SC that he should arrange for a squadron of Messerschmits to be brought in to protect the area from Hurricanes.

Keeping the food cold during power outage: How the heck does the SC think the food gets to the store without warming up and going bad? All those trailers have noisemakers on the nose (brand usually either Carrier or ThermoKing) for a reason. Of course, he probably doesn't believe in the existence of any Reefer other than the kind he's been smoking.

+ historical joke points for you good Sir

My dog thinks I'm a super-being and that I should be able to control the weather so it doesn't rain when I take him for a walk. He always whines at me like he wants me to do something about it. But, you know, he's a dog, he doesn't get it, so I'll let it pass.

If it sounds like I'm implying your SC's had the intelligence of a dog, then that's probably what I'm implying.

[BamaBabe]

Hahaha, bhskk! My dog hates thunder and barks loudly toward the back door when it hits. She then looks over at me with a look that seemingly says, "DO SOMETHING!"

[TonyDonuts]

How the heck does the SC think the food gets to the store without warming up and going bad?.

"'Gets to to store?' It doesn't 'get to the store', they make it all in the Back Room, Sillyboots! <snort> I mean, I thought everybody knows that, am I right?"

That conversation never gets old.

I've tried, unsuccessfully, to explain to people, grown people, that Replicators only exist on Star Trek, and aren't actually really, like totally, real. And to people who don't know how we do it, they just know, "for a fact," that we make everything in the Back Room, and therefore it's impossible for us to be out of their favoritest whatever.

That was the message I got.

I'm dog sitting Goldie; took her out to do her businesses and it was all I could do to get her to step onto the grass because it was wet (it rained last night). Priss.

[Mytical]

Only, sad to say ... that is kinda insulting...to dogs. Dogs are much smarter then that.

[MoonCat]

Look, people are just really stupid. Here's a quote from a book I read years ago about farming.

"I don't care about the farmers. I'll just go to the supermarket."

That was a from a young woman who was asked for her opinion on an issue that was affecting farmers (I think in California, which probably explains her, too, sad to say).

Same here with Prince, my big ol' siberian husky with the Frank Sinatra eyes. He's terrified of thunder, and will often hesitate to go out and do his thing even AFTER the rain stops, cuz he doesn't wanna get his paws muddy, apparently x.x

Then again, he is a wuss around the cats, too, despite the significant size differential. At the very least, he knows where his place is in the household's quadrupedal pecking order. Dead last ~_~

[underemployeed]

I think I would ask the SC to call on the store's behalf, there is no reason that only the people at your store and here need laugh at his stupidity. Really, I think if I could control the weather, I would probably be evil and invest in generators and plywood and unleash a wave of destruction and record profits for myself rather than, allow SCs to not live in fear

[Teysa]

If the power company controls the weather, I really wish mine would stop slacking and generate some rain.

[Plague*Star]

Recently we got hit with several severe storms.
SC: Well, you MUST call them and demand they must stop those storms!
M: I don't think they can do that!
SC: Yes they can! It's a simple concept! *stomps off*

"Everyone always talks about the weather, but only SCs demand somebody *do* something about it!"

P*S
