  • 'funtastic' day for taking calls in the shop

    I work in a small town electronics store and we always get people asking for stuff we don't stock (mainly due to the size of our shop and the cheapness of our average customer).

    Today topped it off, two seperate calls for two different things, both of which we couldn't help.

    FIRST CALL

    SC= elderly gentleman who knew exactly what he wanted

    SC: Do you sell vibrators at all?
    Boss: No sir I'm sorry we don't stock vibrators, we sell the usual consumer electronics and 'fidgety' components.
    SC: Oh ok, you see the sex shop in town is closed and I need one...
    Boss: Sorry again ,but we don't stock them, you'll have to wait til monday when they open again.
    SC: (hangs up)
    Boss: (shudders)

    At this point I was already looking in our 'fidget area' for components so I could MAKE one just for giggles). By the by - I actually did manage to make one using a vibrating motor from an old nokia and a battery...

    SECOND CALL

    SC= random lady
    Me= ME!

    ME: Good afternoon Blah blah electronics, Zeeko speaking.
    SC:Hi
    ME:Hello, how can I help you?
    SC: Are you the RSPCA?
    ME: No, we are an electronics store. We don't usually deal with animals, but on occasion...
    SC: Oh ok, I was given this number
    (At this time I just HAD to crack a funny)
    ME: As I said we don't usually deal with animals but we do have 2 hairy monkeys behind the counter (my offsider immediately starting hopping around making monkey noises)>
    SC: (Laughs for a bit)
    ME: well have a look in the yellow pages, their number should be in there. And when you get through to them tell them theres two monkeys in the electronics store.
    SC: (hangs up)

    ME & offsider continue jumping around infront of the bosses and customers.

    Just another 'hangover saturday' for me in the store.
    SC:What makes you think you can tell me how to do this?
    ME:Because I finished Pre-school, Elementary School, High School
    and College first time. Now: Red wire is positive.
