what a jerk face
It’s not just one person. It’s almost seventy percent of the customers I deal with.
Someone today asked if we carried air purifiers.
Air purifiers.
They were in Radio Shack.
And when I said no, they demanded to speak to my manager.
And when he said no, they thanked him for being understanding and left.

Another work conversation.
Me: Thank you for calling, this is Jimmy, how can I help you?
Sir: Yeah, sir, I just had a question, I was wondering if you knew of any way I could save on my television bill?
Me: Wait, I... What? Sir, this is Radio Shack....
Sir: Yeah, do you have any way to help me?
Me: Well, no, we don't do that...
Sir: My friend said he hooked up his computer to his TV and watches TV that way, do you know anything about that?
Me: Well, yes, we have cables to hook up your laptop or computer to your TV, but in order to watch TV, you need to be using Hulu or Netflix or the like.
Sir: So I can watch television through the Internet? How many channels would I get?
Me: Wait, no... You don't get channels, you just watch whatever TV shows that you like that Netflix happens to offer.
Sir: So how many channels is that?
Me: Thirty. You get about thirty channels.
Sir: I had one last question...
My inner monologue: Oh sweet lord, I'm gonna be on this phone forever...
Me: What's that?
Sir: If I just cancel my cable and get an antenna and hook up that antenna to an amplifier, would all my TVs get the local channels?
Me: ...what? I... No, that... No, a signal amplifier just boosts the antenna's ability to pick up signal. You use it if you live in an area where the signal is weak and fuzzy, like in the woods or near the highway or on a farm... You need to get an antenna for each TV.
Sir: So my amplifier will be able to power all of my TVs and let them get the local channels, right?
Me: Okay, sir, how about you just bring your amplifier in to me and I'll be able to fix you up?
Sir: Oh, I actually don't live anywhere near you, I'll just bring it to the Radio Shack across the street from me. *hangs up*
Me: ...I... What...? *turning to coworker* Okay, take this phone and beat the last fifteen minutes out of my life please.
Work pet peeve:
When I tell a customer we don’t carry what they’re asking for, and they immediately ask for the manager in the rudest way possible, with a tone that just says “Holy fuck, they’ll hire any idiot, won’t they”. And my manager comes out and tells them the exact same thing I did, and they’re perfectly pleasant to him, like “Oh, well, do you know anyone...

I'm bored. People. Post your faces. I wish to do...
Unpopular opinion time.
I don’t want a relationship like Ron and Hermione.
I don’t want Finn and Rachel. Or Barney and Robin.
I want Jim and Pam.
Seriously.
That is my ideal relationship.

When I get home...
More work pet peeves will be posted.
Holy fuck today.
Yesterday, complain on Facebook about customers who insist on giving you their life story.
Today, karma sees fit to give you five in a row who spend fifteen minutes each doing that exact thing.
For those who don’t know, those of us in retail care about two things: what your issue is and what we can do to fix it.
We don’t need the entire back story of how your parents got married...
I said to my girlfriend, "I bet you can't piss me...
most-awkward-moments:
She replied, “Your cock’s bigger than your brother’s.”
I made this blog to cheer you sad people up. You deserve to smile.
