Holiday Rush part 2

The day before Christmas, that's right, CHRISTMAS EVE.

Did desperate people come in? YES
Did they spend whatever just to get a gift? YES
Were they particularly picky about items? YES

LMAO about the last one XD

So yeah, it was pretty slow today, but considering that it is Christmas eve and you may think people want to shop last minute, many people have already left town to go somewhere else.

Although that may be the case, there were MANY generous contributions to our store by people, by spending at least $50 on each purchase.

No real stories today. Though, some lady did buy our $140 boom box (and btw, that boom box is FREAKIN AWESOME!!). She lied about it to her children and told them to keep it a secret. Saying that it was one thing, but it was actually a boom box, and told them not to tell anyone LOL




Actually no, i have a story.
These 2 guys came in looking for charms to buy (for themselves). One of them ended up buying a $12 and asked me if i thought the character was a dog or a bunny. I said it looks like a dog, even though its supposed to be a bunny and he claimed it was a burned character

Holiday Rush

The weekend before Christmas, and it's time for all the last minute shoppers to stop by.
The malls are crowded, the parking is full and so are ALL the stores.

So busy that, our store and several others in our section ran out of SMALL change. No dollars, no quarters, and running low on pennies, nickels and dimes. How sad is that? lol.

WHERE ARE ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO BUY CANDY AND GUM ALL THE TIME?!!
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY WE HAVE SO MUCH CHANGE!!

Saturday Fun~

It's been awhile since i've worked a holiday Saturday and boy was it fun fun FUN >_<

I would start listing out stuff that happened, but there was just too many to write down. I'm not even going to bother writing in one, since whatever i pick wont be as good as the next story, or the next.


Let's just say the REAL holiday hours started and my feet are killing me.

Friday During Holiday Season

I hope you're not getting tired of my Friday stories XD

1) Two of my coworkers told me about this really rude lady that came in earlier today. She had come in again later that night, and my coworkers warned me that it was her. Unfortunately for me, i was the one who got stuck helping her and boy was she RUDE -_-

Lady: MISS~!! Scuse me, can you come here for a second?

*i walk over to where she was*

Lady: How much is this christmas card?
Me: I believe it's about $1--
Lady: I don't want an ABOUT alright, i want to know EXACTLY.HOW.MUCH.IT.IS...
Me: O_____O Alright, let me go ring it up.

*walks over to counter with wide eyes that scream WTF*
*walks back over to the lady*
Me: It's on sale for $1.69.
Lady: Then how much was it originally?
Me: $2
Lady: Ok.. so this is good enough for a 5 year old, now what about for a 10 year old.
Me: How about one of the pop up cards?
Lady: NO~! I wouldn't want that. This one *picks up a really plain card* is good for a 10 year old.

*I walk away leaving her there without saying anything..*

SHE FREAKING CUT ME OFF BEFORE I COULD FINISH MY SENTENCE. And she gets mad at me for picking out a card she doesn't like, that the little girl might.
From what one of my coworkers said, she got mad at her for not telling her what's better. Art supplies or writing supplies... What the hell?!


2) This lady came up to me and i could barely hear her, and she asks me if we have any other calculators besides the one she saw. I tell her we do, and i'm about to leave to go get them and she goes and asks my coworker if we have a section alone for calculators.
I turn around and tell her we dont, that they're pretty much scattered around. She turns to me and says she wasn't asking me, b/c I was starting to walk off without telling her anything.
And i didn't realize it at that time, but I know I did, i said with real attitude to her "WELL, I WAS GOING TO SHOW THEM TO YOU.."
She hecka brushed it off and was like, whatever.

She got hella mad at me for a stupid calculator.


3) This lady who spent about $140+ in oiur store took so much time at the register b/c she couldnt decide which plush she wanted. She kept changing it, not to mention that a line was forming right behind her. She finally made up her mind, and ended up buying extra stuff ( the promotion items) as extra gifts. She apologized to me, but i didnt mind since she spent that much money XD At least she was nice LOL


4) This story was from my coworker b/c i went out for my break.
Apparently this one lady, who i did see earlier before i left, got angry at her b/c one of the notebooks she was purchasing was 50 CENTS MORE then the other notebooks she was getting. She tells her that she was giving bad service and getting angry for no reason at her.

Then all of a sudden, one of her daughters spats back "SHUT UP MOM" over and over again throughout the whole fiasco, cuz her mom was going crazy. Then the mom storms off outside, and her daughters were just like "ohh, sorry about my mom, she's crazy.." and they laughed about stuff. When their mom came back, she was still angry and all. One of the 2 daughters said something in Japanese and her mom grabbed her by the mouth and was telling her never to speak like that.. and then slapped her. They paid for the stuff and the mom just stormed out of the store and again and all the girls could do is just laugh about it.

DUDE, HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!!!
And earlier when i saw them, they were seriously OK. They were really cheerful and everything O__O


5) This guy came in to buy this blanket (without actually saying the name, i'm going to label it XO -- if you know where i work, and if you know the codes, then you'll know what i'm talking about) and decided to put it on hold for a week. I tell him alright and put it on hold for him. An hour later he comes in to the store with a credit card in his extended arm and goes:
"OK.. JUST DO IT.. PLEASE *covers eyes*"

I laughed and asked if he was sure and he's like.. ITS NOW OR NEVER

HAHAHA, HE WAS SO COOL

A New Friday~

Yes, another Friday story. Really now, Friday's bring in the *best* customers ever.

Today's customer happened to be 4 guys, all in college, Asian might i add, and one of the guys in particular was looking for a *HK* pen, that was cute, girly, immature, doesnt have a dangling charm, but still has a charm at top, which screams "CAN I HAVE YOUR NUMBER?"

So I was frantically running around the store picking out random pens for this guy. He was REALLY picky about which one he gets, but then again this is supposed to be his "pick up" pen for chicks at clubs, or whatever.

So i finally show him this light up pen and hes all super chipper about it. He was ready to pay so i let my coworker handle it. She goes and rings him up, but this guy really wants to try out his skills already.

Guy: Can i show you a magic trick?
Coworker: Sure I guess
Guy: Can i see your hand please?

*shows him her hand*
*Guy starts drawing on her wrist*

Guy: There are 3 mouses. Ones normal, ones speedy and ones deaf (or whatever the hell he said)... Tell me when to stop for each of them.

So he goes and draw lines until she says stop and when it came to the deaf mouse, he kept drawing up her arm and hes like "HES A DEAF MOUSE!! OHHHHH!!!"

Him and his buddies leave and come back later in about like 2 hours.
They just stopped by for no reason. The guy who bought the pen wanted to do another magic trick on us, but i refused to do anything with it. He ended up trying it on a customer. This time it was a card trick (This fool actually had a deck of cards in his pocket ok..).
He asks the girl to write her nane on the card. When he took it back he said "watch it disappear" He sticks it in his pocket and was like THAT'S IT.


OMFG! THIS GUY WAS PICKING UP CHICKS BY DOING STUPID JOKES ON THEM. THIS WAS HIS WHOLE PLAN!
-----
While the whole magic trick fiasco was going on, one of his buddies tried to play a game with me too. I asked him how old they were, but he refused to tell me. I told him he has to be at least 21, and he tells me i have to be at least 23.

He says i'm wrong.. and obviously he's wrong about me.
But i doubt i'm lying about him cuz he seriously looked like he was pushing 30 HAHAH
