  • Shut your festering gob, you tit

    Why, oh why must I always end up dealing with these jerks?

    Was counting furniture and checking pull tags as I always do Mondays when somebody shouted at me "HEY! YOU GOT THIS?"

    Turn to see some guy behind me, waving a copy of this week's ad at me. Seems he wants a TV stand from one of our new furniture collections.

    Except....it just so happens the TV stand is one of two pieces from that collection we don't carry.

    Me: I'm sorry, we don't carry that TV stand here.

    Guy: RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE (I dunno, a bunch of BS about false advertising, why do we picture items we do not actually carry at the store, blah blah blah bling bling bling blah. If he would've shut his trap, I could've pointed out the disclaimer reading "Not all furniture carried at all stores, please call your store to confirm." Nor did he give me a chance to offer to call other stores to locate the TV stand for him)

    I HAD TO WAIT 2 DAMN WEEKS FOR A GPS SYSTEM AND RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE...( We had offered this particular GPS system on our Lowest Prices of the Season Sale a few weeks ago, sold out of them, and wrote rainchecks--only to find the manufacturer had discontinued that particular model. We had to have some sent in from a store in Idaho, meaning it had to cross at least 4 states and pass through 2 distribution centers to get here. We had 8 rainchecks and could only get 4; this asshat had to be one of the lucky 4.. I would not have known this had the guy not told me and I talked to our electronics specialist about it)

    RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME HERE AGAIN!!

    Me: Great. Bye now.

    Bonus:

    Had another couple come into the store and want the exact same TV stand we do not carry! I again explained that TV stand was not available in our store.

    The husband was only slightly more understanding than the screaming assbag I dealt with earlier: "I gotta wonder why you picture things you don't have in the store." The wife, however, was really nice and calmed him down and said she'd go up to the service desk to have them call another store.

      First order of business: Irv, you sure know how to get me to read a thread.

      Second order of business: What a couple of assmunches. Perhaps they were cloned from the same douchebag cell? One would imagine worse tragedies in life than the inability to locate a stand for one's Brain Dulling Device.

      Third order of business: Hang in there.

                    I understand those advertisements are put out by corporate, and there ususally is some type of disclaimer stating the sale is subject to availability, but it is frustrating when you live in a smaller city where there may only be one store.

                    It isn't like I can run across town to another store to see if they have the item there. I would have to go to KC or Omaha, not nice, not nice.

                    I wouldn't be sucky about it, just wanted to comment, that it is frustrating for the customer.

                    I think alot people don't realize the really 'great' sale prices are teasers to entice the customer into the store. There are only x amount of items available at the sale price, once those items are gone, its over. I try to always call and check availability. If the store only has one or two items left, it isn't worth my time, because the sale item will likely be gone before I have the opportunity to make it to the store.

                        man, if they'd only truly READ flyers/coupons/contracts/signs, etc., our world would be a better place.

                        wait, there i go, trying to live in the real world; i really have to get that urge under control.
