Re: Hate Thread
Yeah, in that instance, do what the retail people hate and go "Your salesperson told me this was on sale" and get the guy up there, along with the manager. There might yet be the possibility that they'd have given it to you. We've had instances of having to argue that with people. It's like "did you tell my customer this book was 30% off..." "It was *yesterday* and it's only Thursday, so, yes." "Dammit. Kim! Come fix this price!" Something for the future, I suppose. Now, if the wrong thing had been put on the sale rack, then no, not the salespersons fault. We'd have people try and pull *that* shit all the time. "Sign says 50% off." "Sign also says select titles and it'd have a sticker on it. Suck it." However, if the salesperson put the wrong thing on there, under a sign (ie, more than one 'copy' is there.), then you can call them out on it.
Me, I hate getting stood up. Had a friend get in touch with me via Facebook and wanted to get together last night. He'd told me earlier on in the week that he might not make it, due to getting a headcold, but I told him to message me if he was going to need to cancel. Now, mind you, he has my email, my facebook account, and my cell phone number. So, the appointed time rolls around and nothing, so I head out to where we were going to meet (at a restaurant.) I mention to the hostess I'm meeting someone and she lets me take a swing around. No guy. So I chill in the waiting area. And chill. And it's getting on 7:30. So I text him. "We still on?" And I'm waiting. And I'm waiting. And it's quarter til now. So I put in a to-go order. And I wait for that. And by now, it's 8:00. I get my food, see one of my old professors and chat with him, pack up and head home. I've been online all night and had my phone with me and nothing. Bit annoying that.
