What part of 'it's state law' Do you NOT Understand?

[Jay 2K Winger]

I get that shit with happy hour. "My watch says it's four o'clock!" That's great. Our computers don't.

Always the correct response to these types of Sucktomers.

SC: "My watch says it's <x> o'clock!"
J2K: "Okay. Our clocks say it's <y>."

And sometimes you might get this followup:

SC: "Well, what does YOUR watch say?"
J2K: "It doesn't matter what my watch says. The store's clock says it's <y>, and those are the clocks we go by."

Honestly, it rarely matters what you say to them regarding the time, most of them will still argue with you.

"Okay, but can you still give me happy hour prices anyway?"

No.

And I'm not talking about when it's 3:58 or 3:59, mind you. (Though if they're assholes about it, I WILL wait till it's PRECISELY 4:00.) I have people sometimes asking me this shit at 3:45, 3:30, even 3:00 or earlier.

Hell, the Idiot of the Week last week, Mitch, actually showed up at 2:53 (I remember glancing at the computer), asked for happy hour prices, and when told it was over an hour until happy hour, actually said, "Well, can you give me a discount? I'm on a ship!"

I didn't even bother trying to be funny.

"No."

Sadly, that was the high point of my dealings with Mitch.


Another thing I get a lot of is, "Well it's 4:00 somewhere."

My response: "Yes...but not HERE."

True dat.

Another possible response: "Then go there if you want happy hour prices."

Another possible response: "Then go there if you want happy hour prices."

I actually have used a variation of that:

"And I'm sure there you could get happy hour prices!"

Surprised I am not.
