Sucky + stupid = entertainment!

An encounter that initially made me weep for humanity before giving me hope for the future.

The scene - a generic shoe shop. Has a sign saying Buy 1 get 1 half price

The players - Stupid and Sucky Customer, SSC's friends, Harrassed Worker, Cool Manager.

SSC - (to his mates) Watch this. (to HW) Hey! If you buy one shoe, I get this one half off.
HW - No sir. ( explains offer)
SSC - complains endlessly
HW - calls CM
CM listens for a while, argues for a bit and then gives in. He goes over to the register, scans the shoes *twice* and rings out the customer. SSC leaves with his mates laughing.
I went up to the CM and said "Did he just pay 150% for one pair of shoes?"
CM (with a smirk) - Yup.

I looove it!!!!!

[Food Lady]

The SC didn't notice the total was too high??

[draco664]

Quoth Food Lady

The SC didn't notice the total was too high??

Nope. He just laughed with his mates about getting his way by arguing. I would however, love to be a fly on the wall when he does realise...

Epic. Freaking. Win. Seriously, there is no other way to sum that up. I should tell my coworker-who-doesn't-seem-to-care-if-he-gets-fired (great guy though, and he both knows the shoe department like the back of his hand and gets along really well with most customers) to try that if anyone tries to pull that trick on him.

Of course, you can't really sell one shoe at half price, because one shoe doesn't have a set price. But that would be applying logic to an SC situation.

I hope that Sucktomer enjoys the nice, tall glass of PWNADE(tm) he got served.

[Merriweather]

I'd love to see him come back to complain.

"yadda, yadda, yadda"

"Sir, did you ask, in fact, insist, on being charged in a special way"

"yes...but.."

"And did you get exactly what you asked for?"

"yes...but..."

"Wonderful, you got exactly the special treatment you asked for, exactly as you asked, glad you had such wonderful service, after all, The customer is Always Right".

Oh, the humanity!
