"Stealth splinter"--not a TMNT reference!

Mar 06, 2011 00:38

A customer I had today tried to return a DVD of Knight and Day that he bought back in December. I said we couldn't, because it's way outside our return policy window, and it's not something we even stock. He insisted that we do, and showed me a stack of. . .The Other Guys.



WHICH ONE IS TOM CRUISE?!

I get that they have similar covers but. . .geez. As he was stalking towards the door he was so busy raving about how he was going to do all his shopping on Amazon from now on, and that we were going to close just like the B&N at Lincoln Center closed, that he almost didn't hear me call out to him that he hadn't taken Knight and Day with him.

And I think I managed to convince a customer that I wrote a Masters Thesis on stealth splinters. Look, at around 15 minutes to close I am tired and want to go home, and I might start saying wacky shit about how a stealth splinter is caused by stealth wood, and soaking it in water might help but to remove it you really need stealth tweezers. IF YOU BELIEVE ME IT IS NO ONE'S FAULT BUT YOUR OWN.

crazy people, weird customers, work, movies, evil customers, retail
