What did I do wrong?

[repsac]

Someone, please tell me. I'm not sure what I did wrong here.

(trust me, this will be funny)

I spent most of today cleaning up round the house before heading into town. While there I stopped in a store I used to frequent more (when I had money) than some of the employees. While there, I had the following conversation happen, and I'm still at a loss as to what went wrong here.

SC walks into the store, passes all the employees and walks right up to me where I was looking at few books I thought about buying.

SC: Excuse me!
Me: (Looking over) Yeah?
SC: (Blank stare and then silence)
Me: Ohkay...(turns back to the books)
SC: (Pokes me in the side) Well?
Me: Well?
SC: D*** it. Are you going to get it for me or what?
Me: (blink blink) Get what?
SC: What I asked for.
Me: Uh....(thinking to myself. I know my hearing is shot, but it's not that bad is it?)
SC: I ASKED you to get me (blah blah).
Me: You did?
SC: I DID. What you didn't hear me?
Me: (blink blink) Uh...you never said anything.
SC: I DID TOOO!

By this time, an employee swung by, saving me from the confusion. After several minutes, the customer came by as I stood there still confused.

SC: I'll set you straight tomarrow when I talk to your boss. That OTHER guy was nice enough to help me, but YOU didn't even try. I'm a secret shopper. What's your name?
Me: Repsac. Spelled like Casper, but backwards. It's french.
SC: (writes the name down) I hope they fire you.
Me: Can't.
SC: (Still writing) Yes they can. I'll see to it.
Me: Can't. Gotta work here first.

I can only wait to see what R says tomarrow when she calls. IF she calls. Still it begs to question, did she think I was a mind reader or something? I mean, if you want help fine, but at least make sure you ASK the question before you get ticked at me for not answering it.

Again a SC tries the whole "I'm a secret shopper" routine.

If I ever have someone threaten to get me fired from a place I don't work at, I'd go into Brer Rabbit mode....."O PLEASE SUH, DON'T GET ME FIRED FROM YONDER STORE, PLEEEEEEEASE SUH!"

[iradney]

Walter Tango Foxtrot? She POKED YOU??
If a complete stranger poked me, she'd have received the tongue lashing of a lifetime. I can't believe you didn't lose it at her...wow...

[Rapscallion]

Wow - two secret shoppers blowing their own cover in a matter of days? Must be an outbreak!

Rapscallion, awaiting his

I'd love to see that secret shopper report. Failing the store because an employee refused service..............but management will roll their eyes and hold back laughter when supposed "employee" is not an employee at all.

LOL.

Idiots.

[Boozy]

Is it possible they mistook you for someone else? I'm wondering if they had asked for something from an employee that looked like you, and the employee had gone to get it when the SC spotted you and assumed you were that employee.
Of course, that's still no excuse for the moronic comments that ensued.
Please update if you find out what happened after you were "reported".

Ran back into town today, mostly to reserve my Deathly Hallows copy, and opted to swing by the store. Call it morbid curiosity.

R gave me this really ODD look when I came in the store. All he would say to me at first was "What did you do yesterday?" Me, being the mischievous type I am, I smilled at him. "Nothing. Why?"

R shook his head, though he was fighting laughter as he explained to me what had happened. Supposedly, he'd already had a conference call that morning with his District Manager and her supervisor. They had chewed him up one side and down the other about an employee, which they had recieved a complaint about.
They went on to tell him that if he didn't fire the employee, that he would be fired. This employee happened to be a tall gangly fellow, who said his name was Repsac.

To his credit, R didn't laugh in their faces, or on the phone. You know what I mean. He did politely inform them that he would love to do what they said, but couldn't since Repsac wasn't an employee in the first place. He was a customer.

You know, he said they actually hung up on him at that point? He did get a call back several minutes later from his DM, who sounded rather sheepish at the point. She told him to just ignore the earlier call, and said he could handle the lady (who was supposedly coming in later to check on things) however he wanted to.

From the grin he had, I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when that went down.


Note: Yes, I actually did tell her my name was Repsac. I was tempted to say it was "Repsec Eht Yldneirf Tsohg" but that wouldn't have sounded French. *G* Polish, maybe.

More like Lovecraftian.

One time one of my friend was goofing around and tried to repeat the C'tulu chant while drunk... came out as 'Ia Ia Ichiban C'Tulu'.

[myswtghst]

And me, everytime I hear C'thulu, I think of Eternal Darkness. I actually went and bought the Lovecraft SS book just to read the story after playing ED.

[Bright_Star]

Had it been me, I'd have started laughing...LOL

[CaroPhoenix]

So, did the lady actually come back and what did he say/do to her?

[Andara Bledin]

I love the whole "it's French" bit. Classic.

^-.-^

[Ackee]
