Yes, it's been a while. On one hand, I can be glad that I haven't had any postworthy SC's, on the other, it because no one is buying anything!!! 
A BIT OF LANGUAGE LIKE I ALWAYS DO.
Top o' the mornin', asshole!
I did remedial counter for the first half of yesterday. That sucks in and of itself.
This is a tale of Me, D, and SC. Wheeee!!
SC was our first customer of the day, at about 8:01. He was actually friendly and cordial for a bit. He needed a tail light socket. These can be expensive, but if you don't want it, a "No, thank you." will suffice. Not for this guy I'm afraid. D told him how much it was, and the guy went from nice to naughty in about .05 second. He flipped out, called D a cock-suckin' crook, and stormed out. As he got to the door, I shouted "Thanks for coming in!!" He turned and said "FUCK YOU!!", to which I replied "You too, pal!!" I thought my boss was going to piss himself, he was laughing so hard. Start calling us names and inferring we have a penchant for the man-gina, and we will make fun of you.
It was worn out when you bought it!
I was back where I belong today, on the service counter, AKA The Land of Milk and Honey. One of the HVAC techs brings me a repair order for an S10 pickup. I saw this truck pull in, and it was obviously a former fleet vehicle, as the remnants of a company logo were still visible on the door. It needed an AC compressor as well as a few other pieces to make the innards cool again. In all it was about $650 in parts. Customer proceeds to flip out. Apparently he has had nothing but "trouble" with this "piece of shit" since he bought it. He bought it 6 months ago at an auction. It currently has............................
wait for it.......................................
wait............................
330,000+ miles on it!!!!
Holy retirement home, Batman!!!!
Dude! You bought a worn out fleet truck! It's bound to need a bit of sprucing up! Put on your big-girl panties and deal with it!!
Free parts!! Get your free parts here!! OR The Chronicles of Dude
This is where it gets long and wordy.....
I had a guy wander into The Land of Milk and Honey who was not supposed to be there. Normally, I will direct people like this to the remedial counter, but since I was doing nothing but playing Zuma at the moment, I felt charitable. This is the last time that will happen.
I will refer to this guy as "Dude", since he used that word like punctuation.
Me:
Dude:
Dude: Dude, I uhhh dude like, need some parts for my truck, dude.
Me: <shitshit> What kind of truck is it and what parts do you need?
Dude: Dude, uhhhh '89 S15, dude. It's like, dude, a little white wheel in the door, dude. Dude, it like uhhhh, keeps the window like, uhhhh, lined up or whatever, dude.
Dude was asking for a regulator roller. it is indeed a "little white wheel" that allows the rotating motion of the crank handle to be transfered to linear motion to move the window up and down. When it goes ##@&FAIL!! the window does indeed go off-track. Bravo for the mental lucidity of Dude!!
Of course, if his mental clarity was a normal occurrence, I would not mention him here. I normally keep these window rollers in stock. As luck would have it, I was out. I informed Dude of this, and he responded with many forlorn "dude's" and a "shit". I told him I would order it for him, and that since it was a stocking part, I wouldn't make him prepay for it. Normally, anything I order must be prepaid if it is an over-the-counter part. By this, I meant he could pay when it came in, since if he never came back I could simply put it in stock. The more clever readers here are already seeing where this is going.
That's right, Dude assumed that I meant "not pay" when I said "not prepay". I ordered the roller, it arrived and required me to call Dude and inform him of this. Dude comes in to pick up his part, and invokes three demons and a succubus when he is handed an invoice and directed to the cashier. BTW, this is a $5 part. Parts guy J comes back to The Land of Milk and Honey looking like someone stabbed his kitten and says "Jaded, we need you on this one!!" Oh bloody hell.....
Dude shouts through most of this......
Me: Hi <Dude>, what's up?
Dude: Dude, you fucking liar!!!! You told me you weren't charging me, dude!!!! He says I have to pay, dude!!!!
Me: When did I say I wasn't charging you?
Dude: When I ordered it, dude!!! Dude, you said since you didn't have it in stock I didn't have to pay, dude!!!!
Me: Uh, no. I told you that I wasn't making you prepay for it since I usually stock it. Most parts that I order need to be paid in advance. I waived that for you since I was simply out of stock on this, and it wasn't a special order. You still have to pay today.
Dude: Dude, that's false advertising!! This is bullshit, dude!!
Me: I don't think you really know what that means. You want parts, you pay. Good day!
At this point, I let the bosses handle it. They explained to him what I meant when I said "not prepay", and he was still pissed and belligerent. Dude had to pay. So sad.
Hopefully no more remedial counter for a bit.
