Standard repost for the non-myspace crowds.

And then I work my last day at Frys.

Sunday, October 7
My last day working at Frys Electronics.
Wasn't hungover from drinking from 9pm-7am like the previous day.
Liver hated me too much.

If you ask any of the employees, they all have something they'd like to do on their last day of work there.
Kick the manager in the nuts.
Steal something expensive.
Get on the PA an' start listing people they hate Half Baked style.
Yell back at customers.

Which is what I did.
I was at maximum sarcasm that day.
"No. We don't sell computers. We only carry groceries. See the fresh fish?"
But only to the customers that came in with attitudes.
The others I did in a jokingly manner.
Apparently my sarcasm's comedy.

So I used to work in Appliance/Telecom.
Telecom specifically.
Our main comp is right by the cd/dvd selections.
For some god-awful reason, even though we're standing next to phones, people ALWAYS come over to us asking for help to find a cd/dvd from the software department.

The following conversation came about because the customer literally pushed aside the other one I was helping at the time. For the sake of this post, I shall refer to him as Male Diva.

Male Diva: You don't seem too busy cuz I need help.
Me: Well, I'm kinda in the middle of answering her questions right now.
Male Diva: That's great... so I'm tryin' to find the soundtrack for Good Luck Chuck...
Me: So, you don't even care that I was helping her out? 'Cuz yours is a software question, hers is a Telecom question.
*At this point I raise my badge up.
See my badge? It says Telecom Sales. Because this is the Telecom Department. The area with all of the phones. Did you ask anybody from Software first?
Male Diva: ...no.
Me: Did you even bother looking for anyone from Software?
Male Diva: ...no.
Me: So you came to me, Telecom Sales because you needed help finding the SOUNDTRACK to Good Luck Chuck?
*Soundtrack selections being right behind us conveniently under the section that says "Soundtrack"
Male Diva: Umm... yea.
Me: So you want the SOUNDTRACK to Good Luck Chuck? Good Luck Chuck that starts with the letter "G"?
Male Diva: ....
Me: The SOUNDTRACK to GOOD LUCK CHUCK? G as in GOOD LUCK CHUCK?
Male Diva: ....yes.
Me: Normally there should be a couple associates in the Software section to help out. But I'm sure lovely young lady here wouldn't mind if a TELECOM guy went over to the SOUNDTRACKS SECTION RIGHT BEHIND US IN SOFTWARE to look thru every cd for you starting with the letter "A" because we're trying to find GOOD LUCK CHUCK, which starts with a "G" for those who weren't paying attention, because we realize that it is difficult to find soundtracks. Lil' gremlins get to them sometimes an' move 'em around or something huh?
Male Diva: ...I think I can find it on my own.
Me: You go do that.
Customer I was helping: Some people...
Me: Yea. You'd think after the age of 30 you'd be able to operate fine without your mother's breast milk.

People have two eyes an' one mouth.
Why must the customers always try out the mouth first?
Use what you got more of people.
Just use the ladies at the bars with the low-cut tops in the wintertime as an example.

*sigh*
Made alot of new friends.
Dealt with alot of bad customers.
Even became partially racists towards a very specific ethnic group.
Good times.

Sure am gonna miss the weekly paychecks though.

Acapulcos in San Marcos.

Magic.
Just pure magic.
In a boyish kinda way.
