Air Flow

Ph Call: My dog is having an allergic reaction, do you have anything for that?
(the dog apparently broke out in hives)
Employee: We don't have any medicines for allergies, but we do have some topical treatments that might work ....
Ph Call: The only thing that is different is the choke collar ... could that have done it?

Um, no. But lack of oxygen might ....

Timing is Everything!

O how I love the customers who ask what time we close and I say "Seven," and its 6:58 .. . so they order 10 drinks

Mondays

Bleh.

How Dumb Do I Look to You?

I am quite certain that you did NOT buy these pants with the tags attached in the wrong places with rolled up scotch tape. Our goal is to be a little more professional than a garage sale.
And  when something is 15% off for a sale, the signage is there to bring that sale to your attention - not to give you an additional 15% off the original 15% off sale. You're over thinking it. Keep it Simple, honey.

Basic Math

As the Holiday Shopping Season approaches, I would like to take this moment to remind the general public that Shoes are arranged numerically - in ascending order, size 7, size 8, 8 1/2 ~then~ 9 ... and so on. Its not hard. Jeans are folded in 3rds. Not in half, nor in 4ths ... and certainly not 5ths! You're doing it the hard way!

And, really ... put it back where you found it. It'll be greatly appreciated.

That's Not What I Meant

Today I was talking to an older gentleman on the phone about his request for a certain coat. I was not able to get him the exact coat he requested, but could get one that was close  - the color would be different. I tried to describe the color "mushroom"...
Me: It's kind of like a dirty...
Him: Starts to giggle like a little boy.
Me: ... tan color.
Him: Still giggling, "Don't use that word."


 Eewww!

If at First You Don't Succeed ...

A customer showed up after closing and tried the door. It's locked. 
Confused look - glances at sign, it says closed. 
Read the posted hours. It says we close at 7pm. 
They look at their watch. Hmmm... 7:08pm. 
Then they try the door again, two more times. 
Nope, still closed.

Thanks for Driving in!

Question of the day:
Elderly woman: Is this 2012?

Yep! For 9 whole months now.

She just forgot.
She still drives.

Delayed Reaction

You bought a pair of jeans 6 years ago and you want to return them?? Really?? Who saves jeans .... for SIX YEARS ....  then decides that ~now~ would be a good time to return them?

Dominate

When a statuesque woman with tattoos and tight clothing, wearing leather boots clearly not suited for horse riding, purchases a riding crop and leaves the store testing the sting of it on her hand ... it makes you wonder...

Thinking Ahead.

Hello? Yes, my wife bought some flea drops yesterday.... for a Big Dog. I need to return them. Our dog isn't big yet, he's still a puppy.
