- One of my cashiers pressed the Canadian currency button instead of the credit card button without realizing. In red at the bottom she notices, that instead of saying credit/debit it reads Canadian/foreign. The gentleman had already swiped his card, so, from across the store, I hear her ask, "Is your card Canadian?" "What?" asks the man. "Are you trying to pay with Canadian money?" She restates. As the manager, I swiftly approached the register, trying not to laugh, and hoping that this customer was not angry. I whispered in her ear what had happened, and told her, "When in doubt press escape!"
- My boss broke his finger on the floor trying to get a Sky Ball to bounce off our 30 or so foot ceiling twice. The camera caught it all, and it is quite good.
- I make many word stumbles, my boss calls it Donaese. I have many physical stumbles, my boss told me that the company took out an insurance police in my name for anything that I happen to break. I have many writing errors, my boss told me that staples has a extra large quantity of white out that he orders just by saying my name. I enjoy our banter, because as bad as I might be, I have video footage of him breaking his finger.
- Lastly customers making up names for the items they want-
-Flippy Table = Inversion Table
- Ropey Ball = Ladder Golf
- Soccer Ball Holder Box Thing = Goal Net (That one took me a while)
Favorite line from a customer:
"No you can't have my zip code. I don't want your company stalking me, or harassing me"
Sometimes I would like to tell people that thousands of people have their same zip code... but I must be customer friendly. So I laugh after they leave the store, that is my relief in life. What is your's?
