I don't have much to say lately because my schedule only allows me 5 hours a week on the till, on S's dinner hour, and whenever she needs change or a quick break.
I don't mind actually, I consider that hour MY break from work. I do a lot of calling when I'm in the back, but that's a borderline fratching other rant.
I might accidentally post repeats and for that I'm sorry.
Me: The short, plump chick with a sarcastic streak.
SC: All adults. WHY???
Wii want a lower price.
We've had a shortage of wiis since January. It's now June and the wiis are trickling in. During that shortage, people have been calling everyday for wiis but refusing to reserve one (when they do arrive, it's first come first served with reserves on top of the list, of course).
Now we had 9, including 2 black ones, and they stopped calling. Worse, they attempted to haggle!
SC: How much is that wii?
Me: 229.99$ sir.
SC: With tax?
Me: 256,19$, sir.
SC: What if I give you 240$ for it?
Me: You'll be short 16,59$ sir.
SC: WHAT? (oh god no, I'm asking you to pay the price in the system, noooooo.) I can get it online at A store for 239$ and get it in 3 days with free shipping!
Me: Okay, and?
SC: Give it to me for 240$! Where's your manager? He'll do it for me!
Just then S came back and told him in no uncertain terms to STFU because there was no bargaining a console price, period.
Boohoo dude, if you don't buy it, somebody else will. We don't make money on consoles.
Paul Brunelle
Not his real name, it's a country singer's but I'm going somewhere with this.
At first he showed up looking for Paul Brunelle cds. Wasn't satisfied with our selection.
Then he started talking about his love of Paul Brunelle. and how he has a camp in the woods. with a lil radio. He's been looking for a new radio. We don't have lil radios like he wants. For his camp in the woods. His lil radio could pick up stations from Halifax, but he's been talking to a woman, and ever since she told him, that was in Spring 2009, ever since she told him she was from Halifax, he stopped picking up their stations. Because THEY go into his camp to do things to his lil radio. and his hair. His hair stopped growing because he got an operation in the nose for a fractured cheek. He used to not have wrinkles and lots of hair but the doctors messed with his face.
AND HIS SHOES PEEL BECAUSE HIS MOTEL ROOM IS TOO EXPENSIVE.
I'll spare you his years in the army and when he used to work in a chocolate factory.
I get the PLEASURE of having to stand there for this guy everyday.
I'll add more later, trust me, I got more.

Nice job on the managers part here. Wouldn't it make more sense for him to just order it online because it's cheaper than both the normal price for the wii, and also lower than the one he wanted?
