So today, I went and visited my friend's local gaming/comic book store. To note, next door to the store is a salon that, well, a lot of husbands get dragged to.
Well, as I'm browsing through the paints, this guy comes up and pokes his head in the door. "Yall have wifi? Can I use it? Its locked and all."
Friend: "Yes....we have wifi, for our customers."
Guy: "Yeah well, I need the password so I can go back and buy some Magic cards online."
Dead silence in the store, everyone turns and stares at him.
Friend: "Well, we can look up the cards for you if you want, we have a big selection of them."
Guy: "Well, uh, I need some black cards...you know..."
Friend: "We have a lot of those, too."
Guy, becoming very anxious: "Well, uh, I mean I need to look them up online and then tell you which ones I need."
Friend: "Alright, well, you can use the computer right here in the back to look them up...we have a database..."
Guy: "Nope nevermind, uhhh yeaaah uhmmmm I'll be back."
He turns and runs back down the sidewalk, in the salon's direction. I commented offhand that you had to admit the guy had chutzpah to try and bluff like that, and that I was wondering if I should've gotten the pitchfork.
I mean, really, who walks into a store and states flat out that they need to leech said store's resources so they can buy from their competitor?! (rhetorical!)
