Is it just me or after working in retail for this long now is anyone else on the look out for the individual out to make an extra buck EVERYTIME you set foot into a place? Add ons, BIGGY SIZE ME, give me yo money, "Would you like to buy the extended warranty with that?" (I have a question......shouldn't the shit come with a guarantee that it's a gonna f'n work when I get it home in the first F'n place!?") Just a late night thought after a chat with Jack! That's Mr Daniels to you... and yes he f'n talked me into the BIG ASS Bottle and I bought some lemons to go in the glass as well. No I didn't need to buy the extra add on pills that keep you from feeling shitty in the morning either!
Nite.. maybe this should have been a blaaaaoooug! <'cuse me!>

Re: Jaded in a store!
Wed, July 6, 2005 - 8:18 AMI can tell you don't feel well. I've haven't seen you out of the office yet.
And I think they should stop trying to save money on the help. If folks wanted to buy gear from idiots, GC is in the phone book. But they're trying to get their experts on the cheap, and I don't see it working. -

Re: Jaded in a store!
Wed, July 6, 2005 - 2:15 PMUmm, I understand that, but I noticed this at EVERY store I go into. GC is just a place for the General Crackheads to work. If I were to walk in there I would no more about picking lent from places on my body then they would about and addon sale such as a pack of string or a pick. Shit they would probably even think the pick was for reaching thos hard to reach areas during lent!
No I don't want to Biggy Size anything. I SAW THE MOVIE! I a a biggy size for ya! -

Re: Jaded in a store!
Thu, July 7, 2005 - 8:50 AMIt's not just stores. Ticketmaster has started doing upsells in our outlets as well as on the internet and phone orders. Get ready for the next wave of comercialism (is that even a word? or did I just misspell it horribly?) -

Re: Jaded in a store!
Thu, July 7, 2005 - 1:18 PMI just had a total blowout with the Sprint people. I called customer service to complain about something and was totally SLAMMED with offers to upgrade my service at a 'special price'. I mean, I called because I was pissed off, why in the hell did they see it as a good time to get me to upgrade? The manager didn't really even listen to my complaint, he just kept saying 'how about if I sign you up for picture mail for only $5.99 a month'. Every solution he offered me involved me signing a contract and paying more money than I already did. Gott-dammit. I was so furious I ended up yelling at him and hanging up, with absolutely no resolution to my original complaint. Sonsabitches. QUIT TRYING TO UPSELL ME!!!!!

Re: Jaded in a store!
Thu, July 7, 2005 - 7:26 PMSee what I mean. Next you will have Biggy and Two Packs of everything for the resolution to any problem you have? Dear (insert company here) I am calling to let you know that you whatchajigger doesn't do what ndafuk you said it would!" " WELL let me tell you how we can help you today... for Justin five more bucks we can offer you a full day at da Timberlake with a full evening of Britney while someone from our advertising department Spears you with yet more bad "HOOTIE HOOTIE Hootie think gonna make bad commericals! " NO I DO NOT WANT A TRIPLE F'n WHOPPER jest because you go some old ass singer to sing to me."
What ever happen to the good ol' days? The ones where we would walk both ways up hill in the snow with no shoes on to get the lettuce version of a simple double cheese burger with no fear of being pressured into buying yet more fries soaked in gesse so you can get the scratch off Star Wars game peice in hopes of winning a free breakfast samich so you can stop in tomorrow and line someone else's pockets with some of the money you made yesterday doing the same thing at your place of business. No hold on while I get someone else to read you the script that some "suit" prepared in his office whom has NEVER... do I DARE say N E V E R stepped foot out on a sales floor. Bla Bla Blah!!!
I should stop now before I get too worked up and can't sleep and then I'll be in a bad mood tomorrow at the store. -

"For $20 more, you can have some of our new War of The Worlds PCP to go with your weed. It'll make you feel like Tom Cruise, and look like Tim Robbins." -

Re: Jaded in a store!
Wed, August 3, 2005 - 7:36 AMI woke up after a two day Ozzfest stuper and I realized that I was up sold on the crack that the Westside_Hustlaz were packing in at Kroger's when I got my tickets from Ticketmaster there.
I kept hearing this in my head and it scares me.
I so feel like a peasent. Now I am on a quest!
