Wherein Irv nearly commits seppuku (Very very long)

[Becks]

So in summation: Cookies, now. And booze. Lots and lots of booze.

Got the car loaded and should be on my way.




But it's dark and there's wolves after me.

[Evil Queen]

Irv, I'd like to know were you work so I can people watch at your store.

*gives Irv cookies*

Why would you eat starving orphaned children? They don't have any meat on them.

Aaaaaaand it looks like my co-workers followed my directive for---5 days!

After we finished the truck today we went through furniture and straightened everything (how sad is it we have to do this after every single truck?). I founds some apparel signing backers dumped on the shelves, and also the buckets of sign clips found their way back over there as well.

Bet if I wrote 'Free Beer!" "Boobs!" or "Hot shirtless guy at the end of this message!" on the signs, they'd be read and followed.

[Chanlin]

I just have to say wow, I'm sorry you had to deal with such stupidity.

And because no one else has:

Vote SplotchTheWonderSeagullForPresident!!!!!!

Is it bad that every time Irv replaces his Calvin avatar, I don't recognize his posts?

Sorry, but shirtless won't cut it for me.

However, had the sign read: Naked men in stockroom . . . then I'd have to investigate the matter.

They had me carry a big bulky feather bed topper around the store as they kept looking at other items and commenting on how expensive they were. Then they finally had me check the price of the bed topper.

"Okay...it is $52.99." (Which is a pretty good price for a featherbed. It was on clearance anyway."

Wow, you hauled that topper then they asked the price. I hope their tv goes on the fritz when Matlock comes.

A new record!

In fact, had you engaged your eyes and your brain before opening up your festering gob, you would have noticed the print on the sign reading "Must buy one at regular price to get the second free."

Of course all they see is "Must buy one at regular price to get the second free."

Is it really so hard to wait until the transaction is completed before arguing further? If the cashier assures you it will come out correct in the end, then wait until you get your receipt, or at least until your total comes up. If it seems wrong, then argue (nicely). As for the speculation that maybe the one customer was trying to make the cashier screw up, there's probably as much chance that s/he will screw it up in the store's favor as in the customer's.

Here you go...enjoy...

Or you could always write SEX! Now that I've got your attention...FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS DAMMIT!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Funny thing is, I no longer have to worry about co-irkers putting their signing crap over by my furniture. Why, you ask?

Because some time ago, we took apart the sign storage unit that had been over by the furniture, and moved it to the other end of the backroom.

That was but one of several things we're planning to move back there when we find the time.

My signs are still up though, just in case.

[fireheart]

OK so now that's over....we can party woohoo!

anyone want a lap dance?

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

You like giving them, and I like getting them.
