Pushy Questions & Books on "Learnin"
First post here so I thought I'd make it 2 quick ones! These happened a little while ago but don't those sucky customers just stick to your brain and refuse to let you believe that people are good?
SC= Man dragging his son along
Me= Sweet bookstore employee
SC pulls son up to counter
Me: Hi, how can I help you?
SC: Yeah I need some books for my son so he can learn things.
Me: Um... Like a textbook for school? Or a book of general knowledge?
SC: YOU KNOW! Books! Books for LEARNIN"
Of course... THOSE books...
PB = Pushy B****
Me= Still me
PB pushes in front of all the customers in my line at the register
PB: Excuse me I just have a quick question
Me: I'm really sorry, but you'll have to wait in line because I'm serving
PB: But it's just a QUESTION
Me: Okay... But you'll still have to wait in line...
PB: Can't you just point me in the direction of the travel books?
Me: Well it's towards the back of the store, so if you'll just wait I can show you
(our store is very very big...)
PB: JUST point it out to me
Me (giving up): Okay then, it's there (points at the back of the store)
PB: ... Oh... I'll wait...

Some credit is due to Dad at least, as most parents would just take thier kid to the video game store and have them pick one out (like GTA IV)
oh.. and welcome!

And then be livid that the game was violent, even though the store clerk probably warned them about it.
Good first post.

Daisychain, you have to tell us what you did with this one.
Did you point out where the 'Learnin Section' was located in your store?

and I agree with the first replier. If you buy a game, book, or video, you should be reading the WARNINGs on the LABEL.

Bonus points if the SC has only 3 teeth, or looks like Jed Clampett

I can see this same father dragging his kid into a dealership when the boy's sixteen.
Car dealer: Can I help you?"
SC: I need a car for my son to drive.
Car Dealer: Okay, what kind of car were you looking for?
SC (getting irate): Cars! You know, cars for drivin!!

I did end up taking him down to the kids educational section and stood there with him for a really long time going through every type of book (math, science, english, nature etc.) trying to work out what he wanted. He seemed quite confused.
Thanks for the welcomes everyone
