The customers were so strange at work today that we were all wondering if it was a full moon! Oddly enough the full moon was last week or something yet all the crazies came out today. One man wanted me to ship a pair of pants to Corner Brook, Newfoundland for him because they were his favorite type of pants. Well I tried to explain to him that we didn't have the size that he wanted (36X30) in store and that finding him the pants would involve a huge amount of work calling around to other stores, getting them shipped to us, then we would in turn have to mail them to him in Newfoundland. Don't they have pants in Newfoundland? Of course we did have a pair of 36X32 in stock, the exact colour and everything that he wanted but you know "Hemming makes them look strange!" Eventually he wandered away and hopefully will not be in again before he leaves for Newfoundland on Monday. Oh I didn't mention that this was a RUSH order!!!

Then we had another guy come in that I had put an order in for a week ago. He had ordered a specific jacket that was to come from Vancouver as we didn't have the size or color that he wanted. We no word of a lie here I put the order in, told him that it would be about a week for it to arrive and that we would call him. He came in almost everyday for the past week all bent out of shape that it hadn't arrived yet. You know your really testing a Retail Clerks patience when they have specifically told you a week but you don't believe them. So I finally got his bloody jacket today and then he tells me that he wants the sale price from last week. Fine. But he also wants it on this other IDENTICAL jacket in beige that he decided he liked as well. I don't understand liking a jacket so much that you have to have the same one in two different colours! Maybe I'm crazy... yes that must be it...

The final straw was this old lady that came in looking for a shirt for her husband. She squeaked when she walked she was so cheap. I directed her and hubby to the area where we keep all of our cheap shirts. She proceeded to take out all of the pins and unfold just about every shirt in the area! I just happily (sarcasm) followed her around re-folding and pinning all of the shirts. Thank God she actually did buy a couple in the end or I don't know what I would have done...!
