Not taking "no" to a extreme

[Racket_Man]

Because as we all know companies don't want your to buy their products that why they will only give you access after you've spoken to at least 4 people. It's part of the masonic-Illuminati conspiracy.

and you must answer these questions
1. what is youir favorite color?
2. what is your quest??
3. what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Uhhh...I don't know that...WAAAAHAHHH!!!! *sploosh*

I don't know what's worse with backordered/out of stock stuff...in Jewelry if an item was OOS that's all we knew...we just told the customers to keep checking back. They'd still ask if we could conjure it up somehow but at least we could say no, we have no info at all. With High End Home Store things are often backordered, and sometimes the customer doesn't know when they place the order (website is not up to date, store doesn't tell them, they can't read, etc.) and our b/o dates are not guaranteed, so they can slip further (that used to be REALLY bad but we've reigned it in quite a bit) or the items can come in early, which is usually good except if the customer is going out of town and counted on the stuff not coming till October. They ALWAYS want to know exactly when stock is coming in, though, and we can't tell them with certainty. Sorry, the whole supply/demand thing is just iffy.

And yes, that customer was absolutely chock full of suck (and stupid).

It would have been funny had your DM got on the PA and announced all over to the store, "Attention all store staff, passers by, and especially to the customer wanting <item> we do not have <item> in stock yet. It will be in our warehouse in a few days. That is all." This way the customer gets the hint, and if he went up to another worker the worker could say, "didn't you hear it over the P.A. system???"

Oh looks like he's onto you - he knows about that secret room every store has where they intentionally hide the best merchandise for the employees. They hide it there and lie about its existence so they can keep the items all for themselves. Because, you know, a store isn't in business to sell things to customers or anything.

Some people are just dumb and don't realize what 'out of stock' means. Sure, give them a "Get Out Of Dumb FREE" card if they ask once, but any more times after that, they're fucktards who deserve zero understanding.

If any of the managers or co-workers who dealt with the guy were female, I am amazed the moron didn't pull the gender card too. "Can I speak to a MAN about this?"

There is absolutely NO reason to be nice to these people. Being nice still means they're going to go and badmouth you to the one friend who idolizes them like a sycophant so you might as well be mean and insult them, ensuring that they'll never return to your business. At least this way when they say they received terrible service, it'll at least be truthful.

If you wrestle with pigs, you both get dirty, but the pig likes it. There's no reason to stoop to their level. That way, they've won.

Pretty much how it did go isn't it?

V: Ollivander! I need the Elder Wand.

O: Sorry, out of stock.

V: Dig one up for me! Never mind, I'll get it myself....
