So we're having a 20% of Everything, which for some reason includes postcards...(they're 25 cents...and 205 off. Bloody ridiculous), and the store is COVERED in signs that indicate as much, yet we still have people coming to the register going "is this on sale?" or "or really, that was 20% off?" or "Can you give me another discount?" For heaven's sake...it's already on sale. Pay up or go somewhere else and pay more. Seriously. Sale shoppers irritate me to no end, it seems they always have to be on the lookout for a better deal, and when you don't give it to them, they get angry and put out. Shouldn't they be happy that they're getting a discount at all on their purchase? And how is it possible NOT to know that there is a massive sale going on when there are around 50 neon signs of assorted sizes telling them that?? We don't decorate with neon signs.
They're either illiterate, blind, or colorblind. I'll forgive the foreign tourists, but no one else. And for some reason the older they get the more annoying they are. Especially older female tourists. This isn't the era of "I follow you silently through the store while you hand your items to me to cart off to the register". Not so much. Or should have to listen to "Well the sign said it was this price..." The sign did not say that, the sign said something else, and quite clearly. Who has to have her retinas burned by neon pink signs 40 hours a week? Yeah. Or, "$19.99...what does that come to?" Do I look like i have a calculator in my head? DO I??? Do the math yourself. I'll give lessons next time. "Well, ma'am, ten percent of $20.00 is...yes, 2 dollars...so twenty percent is twice that...so that's 4 dollars off, now multiply 16 by 6.9 to get the tax...and add that on." *scowl*
And the people who take sale stickers from one item and stick them on another? Then end is near. So help me... It's already 20% off!!! I want to clobber shoplifters, but we don't sell anything with enough weight to do damage. Except for those giant windchimes...
So my snowboots are somewhere in North Carolina...along with my sweaters. But it's difficult to have people ship things to you when you can't remember exactly where they are packed. And I can't figure out a quick way to get out there and back to bring stuff myself. September is becoming a chilly month quite rapidly; it would be nice to have something other than summer clothing to wear.
