  • Comb Guy: The Reprise

    This happened at Mr. Dips coin shop yesterday. As many of you know they get some really odd customers. The original mention of Comb Guy can be found here. I'm posting this here because Comb Guy isn't really an SC, just weird...

    So Laura got an envelope with an order in it and opened it. It was from Comb Guy but did not contain a comb or any other weird items (he once enclosed a random driver's license he found on the street).

    Instead he was ordering a 35 cent coin and wanted it shipped. Shipping costs $5.00. Not smart, but it's his money to waste.

    Luckily he had enclosed $20 in cash () so there was enough to cover everything. He requested his $16.65 in change be sent back in cash. I wouldn't do that myself as there's nothing that can be done if cash goes missing in the mail or the customer decides to say it went missing. There's just too much potential for a situation to get ugly. The owner OK'd it, though, so that's what happened.
    The best karma is letting a jerk bash himself senseless on the wall of your polite indifference.

    The stupid is strong with this one.

    Btw I hope you really meant $14.65 back, otherwise he just gave him shipping for $3

      Yeah. That was a typo.

      Glad you enjoyed the story.

        I always do! You're one of my faves! sorry if I sounded dry on my response I also specially liek your hubbies stories since A) I'm a big fan of coins, I've not gotten into pro numismatics yet but I'm a huge coin lover (I have my rules though), and B) Either your hubby's personality or his line of work seem to pull the real oddies out of the woodworks, he has almost as many "please get me out of here now" clients as GK has on the phone...

          It's the store he works at. They really do seem to attract some weird people. Not all of them are of post-worthy caliber like the Money Sniffer or the Crying Man but Mr. Dips says about a third of their regulars are not quite...regular.
