  • Learning how to read...

    A new job...less stress...I sell sandals in a kiosk. Compared to selling computers, this is a frickin breeze. That & I make just a bit less than before *giggle*

    Still, I have people that can't read a sign....

    On each of the corners we have little signs that say, "100% Canadian owned"

    Pretty straight forward huh?......Think again.

    C: *Looks at sandals* These are made in China!!
    Me: Yup.
    C: Your sign says made in Canada.
    Me: Umm...What sign would that be?
    C: The little ones.
    Me: Ooh? Let's read one shall we?
    C:
    Me: Yeah...I was wondering where you read that.

    3 simple words...Makes me laugh each time. People just HAVE to be nitpicky about minor shit...They're fargin' SANDALS...Buy em or shaddap.

    Customers have selective reading. We have had a Buy One Get One Half Price deal for months! I can't say how many times I have had people expect to get one free...not half price.

    Just today, I was at the till and three teenage girls come in. They spot the promo end with some books on it and the HUGE ASS SIGN that says Buy One Get One Half Price and they squeal "OOOHHHH...buy one get one free"!!!! I quickly go up to them and tell them that it is not free, but half price. They look disappointed and say "oh" and leave. This happens all the damn time and people get so mad whe you point out that they did not read it correctly.

    It is just a waste of breath with people like this, but it feels soooo damn good to tell them they are wrong and see the look on their faces when they realize you are right!

        If they are what I think they are, I agree with how comfortable they are.

          Are the sandals called "Crocs"???

          http://www.crocs.com/home.jsp

          I have 3 pairs of these... (two pairs of Pearl White, and one pair of Purple) absolutely love em...my dad has 5 pairs and he wears them to work (he's a nurse) He says they're great because if they get dirty he can stick them in a sink and wash them with anti-bacterial soap that the hospital has.

          If I manage to find a job soon, hopefully they'll let me wear my Crocs.

            Y'know, I've seen those in the stores. I figured they were for at the beach or river, where you want to wear something on your feet in the water. Not everyday normal use.

              I wear mine more often than I wear my sneakers. About the only time I dont wear them is if it's raining, or if there is deep snow on the ground. I wore them last winter as long as there wasnt any snow on the ground and I wasnt going to be outside for very long. (I wear socks with mine)

              They're probably some of the most comfy shoes I've had in a long time. They are kind of ugly tho. My dad wears bright yellow ones and sometimes bright orange ones at work. The little kids that come into surgery (dad's a nurse anesthetist) call them clown shoes.

              I'm a little worried that they dont offer enough protection for his feet if something gets dropped on his foot.

                My mom is a nurse too, and she loves her crocs. They make some now that dont have as many vent holes, and reinforced toes. I think its funny because she washes hers in the dishwasher.
                The only words you said that I understood were "His", "Phone" and "Ya'll". The other 2 paragraphs worth was about as intelligible as a drunken Teletubby barkin' come on's at a Hooter's waitress.

                    Man, Crocs are awesome, they feel great, but my right croc has a huge hole worn into the sole. If I wear socks in them, I wear a hole in the sock on a quick 30 minute walk with Mom (nightly thing for us and the dog so Mom can sleep through the night without the dog waking her up)
                    If I don't wear socks, I tend to get blisters... and I get a black circle on the bottom of my foot, thanks to the hole in the shoe.

                      SC: I'd like some paper towel and window cleaner; the automatic shut-off didn't work at the gas pump.

                      ME: I'm sorry, here you go.

                      SC: I'd also like a refund for the half-gallon of gas that got spilled because your pumps don't work.

                      ME: I'm sorry sir but that isn't possible. There is a sign that clearly states that the auto shut off doesn't always work. You shouldn't have left your pump unattended.

                      SC: *smugly* Is that so??

                      ME: *smiling sweetly* Yes.

                      SC: (after coming back in) You're right, my apologies.

                      At least he had the balls to admit his error!
