Most awkward phone call.

Wow, that seems to violate so many regulations...

You know, things like release dates.

Don't they have written on the box, "Dont rent or sell till *DATE*?"

Massive closing store failure today:

Cust: How much is this *product name*?
Me: It is 40% off of the stickered $40.
Cust: Well... how much is that?

Education fail.

If someone else had taken them out of the box to prep them, though, they wouldn't have a date on them.

We had a few situations in which the DM would create new rules for what would otherwise be minor situations. One instance went on for years after the DM left.

Two DMs ago, our then-DM was upset that we weren't getting enough credit card information, and blamed letting CSR's make new accounts. So, his big idea was to only have MOD's make them. That went badly. Busy shifts in which MODs would be pulled hither and yon, all the while CSR's would be standing there, patting their feet, telling customers "Well, it's going to be a minute until she can get over here. She's gotta make a new account; she's the only one that can do it."

That DM was soon reassigned, and most of the CSR's went back to making accounts...except one. We had one crazy old lady who'd get onto MOD's about everything ("Hey, I'm onna break here! Tell me when I get back onna clock!"....she's an New Yorker... which goes over well in South Georgia. "Hey you tell that fuckin' Yankee to shut her fuckin' mouth!" etc. )

So, while all the other CSR's were back to making accounts, our crazy old lady was yelling, "Hey, I'm not supposda do that! It's not in my job description! Ok, but I'm telling (SM) when he comes in! That not my God-damned job!"

Rule number 1 - never expect a customer to be capable of doing math.

Get in line. I'm waiting outside of corporate HQ with a bag of charcoal and a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's. I'm figuring with the tremendous amount of sitting on his ass that Keyes has been doing, he's going to be more tender than veal.
