Everytime I have to fake my laughter to please a customer, a little part of my soul dies

THIS JUST HAPPENED:

Curley Mustache: MAN! You're always here on Sundays!

Me: Heh, yeah.

Curley Mustache: Do you guys have have MX vs ATV Untamed?

Me: Yeah, it's $40.

Curley Mustache: Hmmm, I'll have to wait. My wife would kill me if I bought it without asking her! HAHAAHAHAH!

Me: Heh, heh, heh.

Curley Mustache: Hey, do you have the PS3s?

Me: (Editor's note: I'm still trying to wake up so I fucked up the PS3 answers, but like he would be able to know the difference.) Yeah, we have the 60 Gigs for $500.

Curley Mustache: What's that one? The lowest model right?

Me: Yeah.

Curley Mustache: Damn! HAHAHAHA

Me: (Editor's note: Again, I forgot my shit. Sue me you anal trolls) Yes, that's the lowest end.

Curley Mustache: What about the one that's the higher end model.

Me: (Editor's note: Seriously, fucking eat me.) It's the 80 Gig for $600.

Curley Mustache: Hey, how old are you?

Me: ... 22.

Curley Mustache: HAHA, YOU REMEMBER THE ATARIS WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT?!?!?

Me: No.

Curley Mustache: OH MAN! THERE WAS THE 5200 AND ALL THE DIFFERENT MODELS! WHEN YOU'RE OLDER, YOU'RE GOING TO BE REMEMBERING ALL THE OLD CONSOLES WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE LIKE [In an old man AND nerdy voice] "YOU REMEMBER THE XBOX 360?!" HAAHAHAHAHAH!

Me: Heh, heh, heh.

Curley Mustache: Well OK! I gotta go, see you later.

Me: Bye.

Fake laughing hurts my soul. Also, curley mustache is the ultimate insult. Watch yesterday's Weekend D if you don't believe me.

MrSadistic

He was probably hitting on you and started talking about old school video games so he can lure you into his van for some sweet Centipede action.

disneyninja

That is the joy of working retail. Selling your soul for a quarter over minimum wage.

B5512

Damn, that guy was so pringles.

Techno Mage

"To the left, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT AGAIN" "Oh, OH YES, FIRE!"

Darren Nakamura

If you don't want people to troll, you're supposed to just lie. It's not like you messing up the prices and SKUs was relevant to the story.

Ub3rSlug

I agree with Mr. Sadistic. Watch out Hamsa, you gonna git raped.

Hamza CTZ Aziz

Dexter: IT ADDED FLAVOR TO THE STORY! AND I'M ANAL ABOUT GETTING THAT SHIT RIGHT! Go get get naked again.

Xerosnake90

Never had such an experience at my work. Only me being tired or grouchy and I didn't feel like having a conversation. I guess me somewhat laughing is a fake laugh, yet my soul still feels intact.

iplayanken

I have the whole fake laugh thing perfected to a T.

Vongore

I also work on a game store... and it's pretty depresing when little kids go with their mother asking for the High School Musical game, I try to persuade them to buy a better game, like Mario Galaxy. But it's always the same, kids just want to see those fags instead of playing a good game.

Ag x_x

Also, beware with the rape

Silverback 55

When I was a cashier at Costco I wanted to kill anyone that said "I must have got the free one" when something didn't ring up right. I also loved the guy who decided on his own that prices were to high and he was going to barter for his shit.

Darren Nakamura

I'm naked right now, does that count?

ShadokatRegn

I think retail in general is damaging to the soul, regardless, but forcing a smile at these people - well I just don't do it anymore (try having a name similar to a natural disaster, and you'd stop laughing too.)

shipero

This is why I growl at people when they approach me, it keeps stupid conversations from happening.

JtheYellow

Haha you work at a game store.

vexed alex

Ah, retail. How I hate thee.

Gameboi

Didn't you ever watch the old Mighty Mouse cartoons? The curly mustache man is always evil. Any train tracks nearby? They love those too.

Sharpless

FUCK THE KNICKS

king3vbo

Damn, I couldnt handle working retail

Thornnn

Ya I used to work in retail in fact until I became an Elementary School Janitor last year I worked in retail my whole life. When I used to work for a convenience store my favorite thing to do was give people who were "dicks" to you or the other person at the store wrong directions. I was right off a busy highway in Alaska and tourists would ask directions all the time and we would send them 2 or 3 hundred miles out of their way my boss would laugh his ass off when they would call and complain.

Justice

EPIC COLLAGE!

Justin Villasenor

I don't think I ever had to use a fake laugh; normally I would just smile and nod.

Clockwork

Curley Mustache...lol

mix

Holy crap $600 for an 80 gig....$499 in Canada.

People like that just remind you how fucking cool you really are!

Wedge

Yeeeeah. I lasted a few months in retail before getting fired for refusing to be at the beck and call of every customer in the store. Oh, and my job was the restock the place (by myself).

ceark

... a part of my soul died just reading that. so sorry to hear you have to put up with shit like that hamza.

Hamza CTZ Aziz

ceark: You know, it would help my soul out if someone would make me an amazing painting ... ;D

sTo0z

I hope the curley mustache guy reads dtoid c-blogs. ;)

Gangles

B5512, thank you for making my day.

Gorgoncete

I'm sure Mr. Curley Mustache will read this blog

ceark

it's the next one on my list. and I have quiet a long list.

B5512

Robo beating his chest triumphantly is thanks enough, sir gangles

Eschatos

What, he didn't buy anything? You shoulda kicked his ass.

AgentMOO

PRINGLES

atheistium

I remember having to fake laugh when old men hit on me over the phone. Or came into store and I just had to laugh it off.... *sigh* I know your pain.

Rider Chop

I adore the customers at my work.
they drive up to the warehouse and we deliver them whatever the fuck piece of furniture they wanted. they have the BALLS to ask "whoa, does this come pre-assembled? HAHARAHARHARHAR!!".

no you sandy cunt! good one Groucho, that dry wit will be the death of you.

AngelsDontBurn

You love him. Admit it.

pizzaface

I There is nothing more I hate than small talk.

"Nice weather we're having today huh?"
"YEAH ARTICHOKES"

bottled dark

REMEMBER THE 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Atlas

[size=30]You sir are the epitome of poor customer service mannifesting itself at local game stores. You mess up even more than the dicks at EB!

WALLAPALOOZA![/size]

Atlas

k, that didn't work so well but it is for the better.

Sam Spectre

Oh! Make it Rain!

Aziel13

I work at Purgatory
so I definately know that horrid pain

liam2015

Ouch...this is just painful

Dynamic Sheep

"Fake laughing hurts my soul."

I agree. That's why I refuse to work in retail... I can not kiss ass without being able to hit a mute button so I can call them a fucking cunt.

007

Yeah... I'm pretty sure that 'stache was fake. You might as well have ripped his mustache off and kept it as a keepsake. Glue it on your crotch and tell people you're really a red head, maybe?

Samit Sarkar

I used to work at a movie theater, and working either at the concession stand or the box office was absolutely awful. People would point up at something on the screen above or behind you, saying, �Let me get a large one of those,� or, in the case of the box office, �Yeah, um...let me get two for that one, the 9:20 show.� Idiots.

BlindsideDork

ZOMG! You messed up the prices! FLAME!

I got nothing... :(

Bob Muir

Next time, just reach across the counter and rip his heart out. "Who's laughing now, bitch!"
