Retail

By Michael Kurz

Allow me to clear up, for all you fine consumers, what it is like for the person in the department store when you come in to buy something.

c=customer r=retailer c: Excuse me do you work here?
r: (wearing bright red apron or blue vest or something of that nature) Yes.
c: I'd like to put a lightbulb in this light and try it out to see what kind of light it puts out.
r: ................ (thinks inwardly: It'll put out as much light as the bulb you choose you fucking dolt.)
r: there's an electrical socket over there. (go stick your finger in it>)

That was just one example of the assenine things people do in department stores.
Here's another one.....

c: I'd like to buy this futon, a computer desk, and an armoire.
r: Sure thing, hold one one second and I'll get a flatbed to put it on.
(retailer goes to get a flat for the customer)
(retailer loads up the furniture and takes it to the front of the store so the customer can get rung up.)
(customer is in line)
c: You'll give me a hand getting all this into my car, right?
r: Sure, no problem
(customer pays and the two walk out together.)
r: What kind of car do you have?
c: oh... a new bug... by volkswagon... do you think I should have brought the truck?

Need I say more?
So, I hope you all learned something from this, or at least got a laugh at the misfortune of others. For the sake of all those people who just wanna help you find what you want and go home, think before you shop.
