Quote of the day (yesterday)
In the break room obvs
John: Hey, you guys see how the fire truck hit that minivan in the paper? I see they took that 18 year old girl to great falls, I hope shes ok.
Clayton: (Not really paying attention) What? WHAT? That 18 year old died?!?!?
Me: No, it just said she was injured. Why? Did you know her?
Clayton: No, but I don't like it when people in my age bracket die, especially girls. The more hot ones there are around, the better chance I have at dating one. | | Friday, July 4th, 2008 | | 7:35 pm |

How to avoid making employees mad in retail
Story 1:
So yesterday this guy came in looking for a chain saw. He wanted one that was on sale but we only wanted the display model left. So I showed him the one that was the exact same price, exact same chain length, ect. The only thing that was different was the power very slightly (6 ccs apart). He said no, he wanted the one that was on display. So I said I'd go grab the things that came in the box (the manual, the oil and the chain) and give him a discount because it is a display item. I found everything but the manual and I told him he could still have the the one that was slightly less powerful but he was wanted the other one. So I pulled the manual out of a different box but same brand of saw and wrote down the number he would have to call to get a replacement manual since that is important. I thought I had him all squared away after spending 30 mins with him when he just went, you know I think I will take the one with the manual because it hasnt been sitting out.
Point 1: Just so everyone knows, unless a fountain is on display, we don't touch or use, the display items. It's not like we can fire up the chain saw/lawn mower/grill whatever in the first place. Most of them need fuel and why would we in the first place? At worst, those things are dusty, which won't matter when you actually use them. And also, just don't buy those little fountains for your decks. They leak like crazy.
Point 2: If you have any doubts on buying something, voice them as soon as you can. I don't mind helping anyone get anything, no matter how heavy or awkward the thing may be. But I do get kinda mad when the customer "just lets me keep working" and lets me finish before they tell me they want something different.
Story 2:
This guy bought a fence and it was missing a part. So he called and we said we'd just rob a part from another fence and get him squared away (we just send the other fence back to the vendor). The part was sandwiched between two fence sections and they were banded together with wire. I couldn't undo the wire so I invited the guy to try and he didn't think he could get it either. So I told him I'd go look for some pliers. I couldn't find any pliers so I went back to the fencing area to let him know I was going to look one more place and he said he'd wait. I find some pliers and I come back. Guess what he had magically done? Untied the wire with his bare hands rather easily.
Point 1: If you can do something and I can't (lifting something, grabbing something, undoing wire), just go ahead and do it if you don't mind and are pressed for time. I won't get mad, I promise. Especially if I INVITE you to do it and it isn't dangerous (like scaling the racks).
Point 2: Don't play off that you cant do something because it's "my job" to do it. Yes, it is my job, but only if it works for you as well. Obviously, the guy didn't like that I had to wander around for 20 mins to get a tool and I really didn't like doing it either, so had he just undid the wire by hand in the first place, we could have all save ourselves some time.
Now you all know and I expect that you wont be doing any of this. | | Sunday, June 29th, 2008 | | 10:07 pm |
Warped Notes
1. So Alan has a nice apartment with tall, hot roomies. I figure it all works out because they get the girls before Alan has to let them down and tell them he is taken and they get the things on the top shelf for him, while he can get cold beers for them without stooping.
2. I have a sunburn but it isnt nearly as bad as last year.
3. Almost died at We The Kings. It was tight and some idiots decided to try to cut and it ended up everyone lost their balance. People fell and I stepped on a few smaller people. It was pretty sucky.
4. I didn't get dragged into any mosh pits but 2 surfers were dropped on me. I lost my o-ring and had to take my earrings out for the rest of the day :(
5. Circle pits are neat.
6. A guy brought his preschooler to Reel Big Fish and he showed him how the circle pit worked. So adorable, I hope I'm that awesome as a parent.
7. Reel Big Fish was beyond epic and Say Anything was fucking amazing.
8. J. Star was very pretty and had a huge crowd. But I had the feeling no one came for his songs, because I sure didn't.
9. I was deleting pictures of Cisco Adlers balls off my phone before Forever The Sickest Kids and ten mins later, I saw him walking around. I couldn't help but stare at his pants...
10. I've never heard girls scream like they did when William Beckett jumped in the crowd.
11. The emoest bands (ex The Maine and Say Anything) had the highest number of guys in the crowd. They didn't even mosh or heckle, they wanted to see the band. It was straaaaange. | | Thursday, June 26th, 2008 | | 11:39 pm |
After spending 4 days of being the only one in 2 large departments, taking heat from crabby customers who cant understand why there is only me to help them, taking heat from associates in other departments who were constantly having to help people in my area because I was helping someone else, and not really being helped by any of my managers, who knew I was overwhelmed, I think I deserve an Attaboy. Or a raise.
And for the quotes:
From one of the super hot night receiving guys: You're the only one I've seen working this week.
Me: Yeah, everyones called out, like 4 out of the 9 every day this week, and the others have just been working mornings.
Hottie: Why havent they been fired?
Me: Hahahahahahaha, yeah right.
Hot paint guy: Hey how come you work outside all day and your legs are just...white.
Me: Because I wear sunscreen because I'd hate to have a strange sock tan.
Hottie: Weeeeeeeird. | | Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 | | 6:49 pm |
So *I bought a car.
I think I win for the week.
* I meaning me and Kate. | | Friday, June 20th, 2008 | | 9:12 pm |

Quotes of the day
Department Manager: I like Obamas ideas but I just can't go with the guy. After spending a year in Iraq, I can't support a guy with the name Hussein.
Head Cashier: Yeah and he has direct ties to South Africa. I can't trust a man like that. | | Sunday, June 1st, 2008 | | 10:13 pm |
1. Clinton is a good speaker.
2. Standing for long periods sucks.

Important lesson for the day If you have cruise control on and you are doing 70 mph and there is water on the road (aka hardcore raining), you will hydroplane and spin out into the ditch and you will spill your dads pop in the back.
That is all. | | Friday, May 30th, 2008 | | 6:58 pm |
Things to remember in retail
1. Don't get mad at the cashier if they don't know where stuff is. There job isn't to walk around the store and find you stuff. They are chained to the register and can only give you a general idea of where most things are.
2. Just because something is heavy and I have boobs doesn't mean I can't lift heavy things. But hey, it's your call. You can stand around and wait for a good 5-10 mins for me to track down a guy to lift that huge ceramic pot that I put up on that shelf a few days ago or you can just shut up and let me get up there and bring it down.
3. Okay, we sell a lot of flowers. We also rotate stock a lot. I can't possibly know where ever single plant we carry is. Even if I do, it likely got moved. So don't get bitchy if I can't provide exact directions to the wave petunias. You're lucky I even know what those look like. | | Thursday, May 29th, 2008 | | 11:10 pm |
