and you're nowhere close, sugar.
Lately we've been running some new-ish special on some of our living room furniture from time to time: A certain couch, a matching chair, a certain coffee table, and two matching end tables for one set price. We had one of those specials going last week.
So some woman comes in and buys the entire set--couch, chair, coffee table, matching end tables. Plus Zip delivery on the whole shebang. Ginormous sale! Wheee! Cue the angelical choir!
Last Friday the Zip guy picked up all the furniture to deliver it to the customer. Later that afternoon, after I had left for the weekend, he brought it all back.
It seems there was a bit of a problem trying to get all the furniture in the house. Specifically, the couch. According to the manager on duty, the woman's house is such that after you enter the front door, you have to immediately turn to get into the living room unless you'd like to just faceplant into the wall. Apparently, they couldn't make the turn with the sofa, so the derpa derp just decided, fuck it, I'm returning the sofa."
And then she figured, hells bells, what good are the chair and tables if I don't have the sofa to go with them, I'll just return everything for a refund. So back it all came, and it was left to sit in the backroom over the weekend, until I came in this morning and had to schlep it all back to the proper places in backstock.
Seriously woman? This is a couch. A long, large, bulky piece of furniture designed for sitting or lying on. You know, a couch. A couch that is on display in the store, so you know how big it is. And still you couldn't figure out there might be a problem getting it in the house?
I swear if it weren't for stupid customers, I'd have no customers at all.
