Thank You, Come Again
Today when I went to work I had to deal with the usual employees and idiotic customers. Here is one example
Woman: *leaning over the counter to stare at computer screen* $9.99?! The man back in Audio told me installation was free.
Me: Installation is free; the components that are installed usually aren't. Did he tell you these were free also?
Woman: No, but he didn't say they weren't either. Since he didn't say anything I should get them for free i-
Me: They might be free but I won't know until I push the "total" button, at this point the computer registers all scanned items at regular price without sales or specials factored in. *pushes total but the price for the cable remains $9.99* Sorry that deal only applies for labor.
Woman: But he said the installation was free!
Me: YES. Installation is free. As in the act of installing won't cost anything. The actual equipment to be installed still has a price.
Woman: *mutters* Boy someone's snippy today. *Turns to her husband* Don't you think that was rude?
Man: *flipping through the Sports Illustrated on the counter* Well, I... *shrugs*
He was probably thinking "Damn bitch just buy the CD player and lets go. If you don't want them to install it, give it to me and I'll do it after the game today
Woman: Well I thought it was rude. Look, Sam isn't that the boy who sold us the CD player. *points at Scott*
Man: Yeah, that's the guy.
Scott:?
Me: If it says installation is free at the bottom of the C form does that mean component's needed to install it are free too?
Scott: No just the service, they still have to pay for the harness and this cable.
Me: That's what I said.
Woman: Yeah, well HE didn't say that *points at Scott*
Me: I think it's pretty obvious. If you had a plumber install a toilet in your bathroom and the plumber did it for free because...I don't know, you gave him a BJ. You'd still have to pay for the toilet even if he didn't charge you for the work.
Woman: *goes wide eyed* Omigosh. That is SO rude.
Scott: *chuckles nervously and goes back over to the audio section*
Since this woman obviously wasn't going to take our word for it, I decided it was a good time to call my manager over. If after this she still did not want to buy then someone needed to haul her fat ass to the curb.
Me: *picks up the phone and pages Jen*
Jen: Yes?
Woman: They're telling me I have to pay for this stuff even though it says installation is free.
Jen: *Looks baffled for a moment as if the question is too stupid to comprehend, then looks annoyed because she was called away for this* Yes, the installation is free but these parts are not. *goes back over to register 5 to help the new person run a transaction.
Woman: *shakes head* That's it, I'm leaving.
Me: Fine you wrinkly old cunt, get out of here.
Woman: I'm going to Hyper Mart. That guy in the radio department lied to me, you manager treated me like I wasn't even there-
Me: She was busy!
Woman: YOU kept cutting me off when I was trying to explain things.
Me: Explain things? You didn't even know what you were talking about?
Man: Okay, lets go *sets the stuff on the counter and walks out with his wife still babbling on behind him*
Me: *apologizes to the customers behind them and scan their CDs*
New Customer: Did she say Hyper Mart?
Me: Yeah, I think she means Wal Mart.
New Customer: I was about to say didn't they change store names about 7 years ago?
believe it or not this is actually a common mistake, my Dad says Hyper on many occasions. Anyway, that a sample of the crap I deal with at work. Maybe I'm a little impatient, but it does become annoying when you have to put up with people who think they know the store and the cash register better than you despite the fact that you were hired and trained their and not the other way around. For 6 or 7 hours straight, in one place. You'd be annoyed too. Though I'm very grateful for what few times I get scheduled. I need the money. Bad. If women actually enjoyed sex the way men do I would probably whore myself out for a few bucks. Luckily I didn't have to stay after work for the inventory chaos that results every year around this time, but I wouldn't be surprised if I've got some stocking duty ahead of me.
