that sucks they were such jerks. The people I talked with at Ann Arbor/Saline road and the canton target were really nice and helpful.

well, I went back to the comic book store after work today. She was working. We talked for a bit. I asked her out..(drumroll).....

BOYFRIEND!!! :-x

Goddammit.. all the good ones are taken :-(

ah well, it was worth it, I guess. apparently I have to fly half way around the world to work up the courage to ask a girl out :grin:

I just thought I'd post all that, cos I'm sure you are all thoroughly interested in my life :grin:

My friend in college used to have very simple saying...

"I don't see a ring on her finger..."

Hey, it was good practice for coming back here, and doing the whole shibang again.

No problem man, it was good meeting you. We need to hang out sometime and I'm sorry I had to bail. It's been a complete crap day so far.

I went into my office this morning and this is what I saw.

I was pretty shocked but after testing all the equipment, it's all fine. I just don't have an office until it's fixed so I'm back to working at home again.

Hurray!

Lmao. Classic.

You can't talk to people sometimes. I know that they have to deal with alot of chuds in retail, but to take it out on every customer...guess their inablility to separate a good customer from a bad one is why they end up at those jobs in the first place.

Just where do you get off anyway tfpredaking? Walking into a store with the intention of spending lots of money there. Jerk.

I know, heaven forbid they allow me to help pay their salary

I've seen people treat employees like A-holes, but I was trying to be very nice and courtious. I will send a letter, but beyond that, I'll let it slide... at least until the next time she says something to me, then there will be hell to pay :-x

Hey, my wife thinks you should take up knitting! She says a lot of women find it incredibly sexy. She could teach you how to make little socks for Hotrod

yeah, and you couldn't just send that to me in an email.. thanks :grin:

I knew you'd buy some of the movie toys :grin:

Well you know, then it wouldn't be as embarrassing :grin:

Yeah, I know, don't start. So far I only have Swindle, and the only one's I planned on picking up if they had brought them out were Prime and the POPO Mustang. You all ready knew I'd pick up Prime though since he looks like the MASK Rhino :grin:

"See...'cuz I'm real stealthy when I'm inside you. Kind of like a green beret. Like a green beret who is dropped behind enemy lines. I grab my boys and get out before you even know it. 'Cuz I'm reall quick and stealthy, like a green beret..."

That's shocking. Meijer actually has something new?

Wow.

Anyway I stopped by the Grand Ledge Meijer today, they had nothing per usual.

Truthfully, I think TFP is doing the right thing. People have bad days, and I'm sure retail workers have lots of bad days.

We never know where the person has come from that day...bad argument with spouse, children, sib, etc., or bad news... I try to cut people slack, but if it's a repeated behavior, I might go a bit further.

I think the letter is a good compromise. If they take it seriously they'll have a notice about customer service, etc., and probably not much more. I'm hoping the TFP gets some free $ from it...for his trouble, but who knows?

doing a lot of customer service over the last few years.. I know how hard it can be to treat every customer nicely.. but I don't think that's an excuse. you grin, you fake it, you bear it. then when you leave and go to a store you don't work in.. you can let it all out and be a jackass :grin:

well, I need to stop.. I bought some more doctor who toys today. I shouldn't spend my money on them, but this was a 3 pack taht had the doctor, a cyberman and a Dalek. I could'nt resist the Dalek. so now I have two cybermen. they'll look good on my shelves of misfit toys in my toyroom. besides.. probably would've spent the same amount or more if I'd gotten that date I wanted :grin:

Lol I'm glad someone picked up on that.

I have several years of customer sevice under my belt as well...I certainly understand when someone is having a bad day. But saying things like "You collectors need to get a life." is inexcusable. Things like that used to be a terminable offense...right on the spot.
