Well, this is my first official SG Rant. If any of you have ever seen my myspace page you may know what to expect, though I doubt it. In any event: I figured since I'm paying to be here I might as well take advantage of the situation and utilize all of my resources. So, here goes:
If you've ever had to pleasure of working in retail you know how busy it is around the Holidays. Now, I love my job, and I love working the Holidays. Plenty of hours, plenty of things to keep you busy, and as a Manager, I have the option of delegating crap I don't want to do to anyone with a light blue shirt. I get paid well, and thanks to company policy, I work a pretty sweet shift, I'm rarely there past 5pm EST, and usually off on the weekends. Can't complain right?
Except. People are stupid. No, that's an understatement. People are so mind-bogglingly retarded that if stupidity actually caused pain (like taking a shotgun blast to the genitalia) these special education drop outs would be curled fetal in their beds with clenched teeth, grasping their crotches,from the moment they woke up until they passed out from the pain sometime later. The PERSON on the other hand is pretty cool. Persons are okay in my book, but I digress...
It never fails I get some amazing questions every day. Here's a few of my favs and their answers:
Where do you guys keep the paper? This genius has a 2 foot x 6 foot sign hanging behind him proclaiming "PAPER SHOP" In large, 3-D letters. My answer: Oh, in an interest to help save the environment we no longer carry paper you're supposed to be doing everything electronically now.
Where do you guys keep the ink? This brainiac, like the genius before, has a huge sign with large 3-D letters with the wods "INK SHOP" emblazoned behind him (or in front of him in some cases). My answer: What type of printer do you have? ...Oh, they don't make ink for that printer anymore, you have to buy a new one.
I've never been into this store before, can you get these items for me? Okay this one just pisses me off. I really doubt this same douchebag walks into wherever he/ she buys clothes and says to the staff, "Hey, I'm a <insert size here> can you find bring me some pants?" A little tip for retail shoppers: We are there to HELP you, not do the shit for you!
And a parting shot:
I keep getting spam pop-ups on my computer after my son used it; you have any idea what he did and how to fix it?
How do you tell a parent their computer is screwed up because little Timmy downloaded spyware or a virus whilst looking for porn?
MORAL: Stupid people should be in crippling pain, all day, every day.
