Crazy Customers

[Faith No More]

I used work at a movie theater and the stupiditiy flowed like a river. Gawking at the stupid became a means of entertainment. You would be shocked at how many people will ask you to rewind the movie because they were late. Most of the time it would be because they were all alone and figured it wouldn't hurt anyone. Not only should they have been on time, back when they were using film projectors it was physically impossible.

..and there is a bit of a difference. The people buyiing from your store will make TONS of money in a few hours, and thats why they are beating down your doors.

I would buy $100 of stuff from you guys and turn it into a profit times ten within 3 hours.

I hope this helps you understand why people would be beating down THAT door..

This guy in the vid, on the other hand, wants to buy junk at a loss.

The people I'm talking about were non-contractors, the contractors knew in advance that we would be closed and made prior arrangements.

I know what a shunt is but I had to look up 750kcm, we do it differently in Oz.

And before you ask, it is legal to buy hardwired electrical gear in Oz, you're just not allowed to install it if you're not qualified.

Which didn't stop people asking me how to wire up their powerpoints etc.

Fair play to the bloke I say.

Sounds like he's been badgered by people phoning him up constantly and finally snapped.


In terms of the OP, Don't you know the customer's always right?
