Dumb Customers

Last week (as mentioned in a previous post) we had a ‘10% off everything’ sale, so naturally it was busy, now, a postal worker asked me if we had a film in stock, some guy standing behind him (who looked like he had no concept of ’selflessness’) starts making a noise about how the postal worker was taking up more than 30 seconds of my time, so the postal worker wanders off feeling rather dejected…

This loud-mouth steps up, he’s in bicycle pants with a bright blue shell-suit top and bright blue goggles, he asks me if we carry a book, I check our computer and it’s not there, I run out to the stock-room and the woman in charge of the books has already gone home, so I’m told to tell him we don’t have a copy, as I deliver the bad news to him his brow creases and he virtually shouts ‘well, I’m the author, this book came out last week, it is meant to be in EVERY store.’

Now upon this news I decide ’screw this, I’ll get the manager’ I interrupt the managers important phone call with another branch and the guy (who wasn’t even intending to buy anything) starts giving the manager shit, total time wasted with this loser? nearly 30 minutes combined…
