    ...it's just here to make our shop look pretty....

    I swear the dingbats all flock to me...

    M-Me
    S-Shopgirl who I have christened Kim-Nice-But-Dim

    M-enters store bearing large sign-Mighty Blob's Bedroom Furniture (note this well)...
    M-My old bedroom furniture is getting rather worn out and I'd like to replace it for Christmas.
    S-We don't sell bedroom furniture I'm afraid
    M-(glances at wardrobes,cupboards,drawers etc.not five foot away)
    S-Oh those are for display purposes only.You can try Store XYZ
    M-So you don't sell bedroom furniture,even though you have it on your shop sign.
    S-Oh we have it in the store,you just can't buy it.

    I think I've detected the flaw in the Mighty Blob's Bedroom Furniture's sales method..

    Oh and have a second one from the pharmacy.

    Staff Member:Mrs Thingy has been waiting for her prescription
    Pharmacist:I called her name,there was no reply.
    Staff Member:That's because she's deaf

    Mrs.Thingy goes to collect her prescription not 30 seconds later....

    Pharmacist:And what address is on it?
    *Mrs.Thingy looks at him and smiles cheerfully,attempts to get bag
    Pharmacist:No,you need to confirm your address first.
    *Mrs.Thingy still smiles her happy smile*
    Staff Member gets bag,shows Mrs.Thingy the address on it.
    Mrs.Thingy confirms 'Yes,that's my address dear.*Collects her bag,goes home.Much rolling of eyes...

    Sadly, I have spent far too much time on this site, and, previously, far too much time in retail, to doubt this. Did they offer any sort of explanation? Were they just a pickup site for online ordering, or a showroom with (inexplicably) no sales capability? Or was the Staffer just full of shit and being lazy?

      I think you answered your own question there. This is CS, where employees are lazy and customers are entitled, rude, and, at best, annoying.
      The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people.

      You would have to be incredibly dense for the world to revolve around you.

          What about the other fonts? Or, are you referring to middle-aged women who live in Queens and are married to bigots? Cookies for reference.

              It's like Monty Pythons Cheese shop sketch.

              Do you in fact have any cheese at all?

              Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

                Wrong Archie - Mr. Bunker referred to Edith as "Dingbat".

                I'm surprised you knew about the roach and the cat - I'd heard about them from my parents, and had to go digging at the public library to find it. If I hadn't been specifically looking for it, I never would have found it.
