Night Sam

 

[chocktaw2]

Good nite Sam.

 

[jdmack79]

I should probably be in bed, but I'm just thinking about work.

 

[RedneckReject]

I have to put this damned bouncy horse together at some point

 

[chocktaw2]

Yeah....I would LOVE to right now. I hate unfaithfulness with a passion.

The list of things that **** me off it getting shorter, as I get older. People are gonna be people. I don't want to burden myself with outside interference.

 

[GregD]

JD, what all are you thinking about?

Great, now we a tired guy at GM.

Oh, just thinking about all of the customers that abuse us. I "ruined a child's Christmas" according to an angry woman today.

 

[GregD]

I don't know how you put up with some people.

 

[chocktaw2]

I think I would try to find a job at a LGS. Separates the campers from the shooters, but what do I know?

The woman spent ~20 minutes looking at at a 10/22 and asking me all kinds of questions about the gun. She was going to buy it as a gift for her kid. She was horribly rude and condescending the entire conversation. She declared that she "would think about it while she bought some other stuff" and walked off. Five minutes after she left a guy came in looking for a .22 as a gift. I recommended the exact gun she was looking at earlier. He bought it. She came back in another 10-20 minutes and got very upset when she learned that I sold the gun. Apparently I was supposed to hold the gun indefinitely while she weighed her options.

After telling me that I ruined Christmas she stormed off.

Really sounds like a good idea CT2. Have no idea how pay compairs.

I don't plan on selling guns forever. As soon as I get a job in the field that my degree is in, I'm out of there.

Some people have such unrealistic expectations... I'm willing to bet she's one of those, 'The customer is always right - I'm your god and I pay your salary - you should do what I think you should do whether or not I say it while worshiping the ground I walk on all the while anything I do that is bad is automatically your fault,' types.

I'm willing to bet if you told her, as she said she would think about it, "This is the only one we have left and it's a popular model. It may not be here by the time you get done thinking," she would still find some way to blame you for selling it to somebody else.

What's your degree?

If I talked to people that way I would feel much better, but I'd also be unemployed.

I don't know. the LGS may pay on commission? But it would be a better work place.

I know, sad, but true. Hope you can work this out.

Now, wouldn't that be a hoot if the guy that bought it as a gift was her husband? Dad 1, Mom 0
