  • I demand you control...

    ..the weather.

    Recently we got hit with several sever storms. As most people understand, sever thunderstorms, wind and rain cause power outages. We had several outages due to the weather over the last few months, from 20-30 minutes to almost two days due to a tornado. This last outage was about 6 hours, and power was restored just after the store opened.

    Of course, SCs complain that perishable foods were not available fore sale, due the fact that the frozen foods were covered with dry ice and the open refrigerated case were cleared out and stored on refrigerated trailers that were brought in.

    Control the weather
    SC: *stomps up to me as we begin to restock the open cases* Excuseeee meeeeee!
    M: Can I help you?
    SC: Yes! It seem you have lost power several times recently.
    M; Yes, we have.
    SC: It is a inconvenience for me. (and a bigger one for us, dumb ass)
    M: Ok.
    SC: Why don't you call <power company> and tel them to fix it!?
    M: Well, the recent outages were caused by sever storms that brought down trees on to wires. Their is only so much that can be do to prevent that.
    SC: Well, you MUST call them ant demand they must stop those storms!
    M: I don't think they can do that!
    SC: Yes the can! It's a simple concept! *stomps off*

    Would you eat it?

    I was taking some product to a display across store, wen I see a SC arguing with one of the dept. managers. I catch part of the conversation.

    SC: But you lost power!
    M: Yes, we lost power, however we covered all the cases to keep the product cold, and transferred it to a refrigerated truck.
    SC: Trucks aren't cold!
    M: There are refrigerated, they have a refrigeration unit on them to keep them cold.
    SC: suuuree. Whatever. Let me ask you this, would you eat that food?
    M: Yes.
    SC: You! *looks at me* Would you eat that food that you had when you lost power?
    ME: Yes. It is safe, I along with M have worked power outages and we keep it cold one way or another.
    SC: I don't buy it. It's not safe!

    The SC stomps off, they are later seen buying our supposedly unsafe food.

        I'm guessing the one from the 2nd story was looking for a 'price break' on the food, right?

          Do they think it magically appears in the store?

            Kinda how when I was working at Staples I had a customer claim it was racist that we didn't sell individual file folders. I asked him how and he just stomped off and out of the store...

            Score one for me for absolutely giving him back his race card.. it was rejected due to lack of funding.

                I wonder how she thinks the food gets here in the first place. Even with no storms/power outages....the food is shipped in refrigerated trucks. The very same trucks now being used for storage till the power comes back on.

                  Nice invocation of Rule 63 (expanded version). However, if one is not born with weather-controlling powers, there is another way to cause or banish storms: be worthy enough to lift Mjolnir.

                  Seriously, though, if one were to ask the customer how they can stop the storms, they wouldn't give a real answer. They would most likely say something like "They have ways!" or "I'm not an expert, but they should have a way to do it!"

                          that's how everyone was... they didn't know why he would claim it was racist.

                            It has been my experience -- especially after reading some related stories on here -- that people who habitually play the race card simply *assume* that it is always valid for play, even when there's obviously no good reason for it. 'Tis easier to assume than to actually LOOK for evidence.

                              It comes over the internet, silly!

                              I love the "they need to stop the storms" one. I'm sure if asked HOW that can be done, they would say something like "You're the professional, you're supposed to know this stuff!"
