The joys of retail...

Rant


AHH, retail... There is nothing like it. For those you who don't know much about it let me define some words for you so that one day when we're sitting around talking that we will understand each other...(These many only connection to OfficeMax, but maybe not).


Q-Tip - A customer who is tall and all white on top.

senility - What an old man who shouldn't have a computer convinces his wife to buy one and then brings it back w/o a power cord to have us show him how it works.

Ad on - What you didn't think you needed when you come in, but are glad you got after you left.

Cashier - Last person in the building who has the chance to sell you something else.

Greeter - "How can I help you (spend your money) today?"

A quick change artist - Some one who gets a little more change that what they deserve.

A slow change artist - The woman who takes ten minutes to search through her purse because she is sure that she has correct change!

Customer Service - I'm sick of returns!

Just a few. Please add to the list!

Hey I forgot to ask you the other day did you invite Indian River Baptist to Sno Camp? Mrs. Brazier asked me a while back to see if you would send her the info.
