    Being rude = great service?

    Hwa?

    C : Customer
    Me : How the hell do I get away with this?

    C : Do you have any Sonic games?
    Me : Which console?
    C : SONIC games!
    Me : *unimpressed* WHICH. CONSOLE.
    C : Oh! Xbox.
    Me : Oooooh, I can look, but I can't promise anything... *quick overview, got nothing. Checks liquidation rack. Hey, Genesis collection! that can work!*
    I have Genesis Collection left, there's a Sonic in the--
    C : THAT'S ALL YOU GOT?!?
    Me : *okay, gloves off.* Well sir, I can try shitting you one but I can't garantee the quality of the game. *does this face >_O, grunts, leans over a little and fakes forcing*
    C :

    He laughed so hard he ended up buying the collector's edition of Batman Arkham City with the figurine, which is easily worth A LOT MORE than Genesis collection.

    How-what-huh? So when I'm a rude smart-ass I make great sales but when I'm polite I'm a horrible child-eating monster? What?

    Oh how many times I've wanted to use that line when confronted by a dis-believing customer saying "what do you mean you don't have the part", but I've never had the guts.

    I guess this is kind of the birds of a feather thing for you. The guy sounded like kind of a dick, so when you were rude back he was like "hey, you're one of us brother".

      Don't know that I'd use that exact same line but I'd definitely want to come back with something snarky ... "Hang on, I'll check in my multiverse storage room and see what I can find for you" ...

      However, you obviously hit the right note with him. You're probably going to be the centrepiece of his conversations for the next month.

        He probably has wanted to say that to someone in his job many times, so when you did it to him, it hit 2 switches. the 'dam I was being a douche' and the 'wish I could do that. so it tickled his funny bone.

          Maybe it's the surprise effect: I'm a tiny pudgy girl that looks like a teenager (I'm 30, oooooh!) but with a mouth better suited for the GIANT that works in the other department.

          I had a father ask me what was the difference between getting Black ops in french or english and the different servers.

          I told him it was between "Vas te faire foutre, connard!" and "Go f*ck yourself, idiot!" Either way, his son was gonna get cussed at online.

          That helped his decision and he bought the english version, laughing.

            an even better line would be "OK I will look in the back of Tardis for you. OPPPPSSSS the Doctor is out right now."

              New one from yesterday!

              Customer: Yeah, I had ordered Dirty Dancing?

              Me: I'd like to sir, but I'm working right now.

              Customer: *orders another movie*

                Please don't.

                Last time someone tried that, they ended up with a lovely copy of Sonic 2006.

                        I wonder if they have a Dick's Last Resort restaurant anywhere near you?

                        At that place, the servers are PAID to be rude to the customers
