A guy came in the other day and asked if I would post a sign for him. We don't have a notice board, but my boss will sometimes post a flyer advertising a benefit or community function. I told the man that my manager has final say on anything like that, but if he wanted to leave a copy we would look at it. He went out to his vehicle, which was held together with duct tape. Grabbing a sign from the front seat, he pulled a strip of tape off the hood of his car and affixed it to the sign. He brought it in and handed it to me. It was sloppily printed with multicolored markers, and it advertised "BARGINS" at a yard sale.
Yard Sale Guy: I advise you to put this in your window right now. The sale is tomorrow.
Me: Is this sale for a benefit or a charity?
YSG: Yeah, it's to benefit me.
Me: I'm sorry, but you might as well take it with you. I know my manager won't post this.
YSG: Yeah, well, you just have a good time in hell, then!
There was one customer in the store at the time. YSG pointed at him and said, "You have a good time in hell too, sir!"
