Blots and spills

9.25.2009

- Man and woman come in with 6 year old computer, expecting trade-in of $200 dollars, informed them we're not taking trade-in's on that old of a computer, got verbally accused of running a bait and switch operation. Stormed out spouting slanders against the company, headed to Best Buy for sure.

- Man in kilt and plaid one-size too small shirt insists on talking my ear off, won't take social cues that I have other things to attend to, ignoring all writing on the wall insists on trapping me in conversation, obviously because others in more ideal situations could simply walk away.

- Man in business suit walks in with girl young enough to be his daughter, girl is approached by coworker and offered sales pitch, several minutes later, man exclaims to salesman working with girl "I see the woman gets the first service". Man then approaches me at the counter, me trying as hard as I can not to deal out a hefty punch across his face greets him, man asks about our trade-in program. After enquiring what computer he's interested in trading in, it being a computer we normally do not accept but it has a few valuable add-ons, I offer $100 dollars, he laughs, looks offended, and walks out scorning our company.

- Man in his late 70's comes in to have me address questions on his computer, including mouse not responding, screen not being aligned, firefox not searching, all with a very sharp and obtrusive stench to his heavy breathing voice.

All in one day? Does fate hold such a grudge as to cast such a heavy shadow over what could be a quite lovely day? On the good side, MMS was a great surprise!
