Quoth Irving Patrick Freleigh View PostNobody had any clue this toy was going to be so popular. I certainly didn't.
Customers also don't know what our on-hands are. Just because it says "in stock" on our website doesn't mean it actually is, and I remind people of that if they ask.
As to why we were holding one-- I don't know but it's possible it's because somebody on the floor screwed up. He highly discourage telling people when trucks are coming, because no matter how much we weasel-word it, the customer interprets "There's a truck tomorrow night but we don't know if the thing you want is coming; call us the morning after to see if it came in" as "It's coming on tomorrow's truck. No doubt about it."
And as for things coming in, same thing. Yes, when items are en route, it shows in inventory, but.....just beacuse shipment comes on monday, does not mean we will be able to get it then. Shipment has to be checked in, every box opened, which can be 25+, and every article of clothing removed from plastic and either hung or folded. I used to tell people, its probably coming in our next shipment, which is Monday, but maybe wait a day or two, to make sure its all unpacked.Last edited by Catwoman2965; 11-10-2015, 05:51 PM.

Quoth AngloSaxonViking View PostCongratulations! You are now permittted to take your car to your local paint shop, and have them paint in, just below the driver window, 2 of the "I ruined Christmas" symbols. You know, like fighter pilots have for confirmed kills.
When you get up to 6, you can start calling yourself "Ace".Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

In looking up this toy, it seems other stores have it too, but we have an unusually good price--five to ten dollars lower than anyplace else.
Yeah, think we dropped the ball here. Ah well, more Christmases for me to ruin!Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

Quoth Slave to the Phone View PostI've already ruined several Thanksgivings by telling people that they couldn't use food stamps for pet food.Quoth taxguykarl View PostYou can buy tuna, the cat won't mind.
That's the spirit
Other "animal/food" stereotypes: Carrots in large quantities are bad for rabbits (high sugar content - Warner Brothers left out the scenes where Bugs got out his glucometer and insulin), and cheese is bad for mice.Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

However for dogs you can get rice, ground meat, and frozen veggies. Mix into stew and dish out as needed
