    Just about any specialist retail operation has their trove of stories... I am surprised that there are no books written to document these amazing interchanges... Cheers, RickO

    Well done. It's already gone viral in my office.

    I spent about 15 minutes I didn't have reading that here at work. I do look forward to reading more of it at home tonight. Very funny stuff. Thanks for sharing!

    It took a few moments for the stories to "click" but they're worth a read and a chuckle.

    I would LOVE to tell the tales of 15 years (and counting) of retail but I really do like my job. Customers are amazing creatures but whenever I get to feeling all superior and crap, I remind myself that I too am a customer and probably have been the subject of conversation.

    Finally finished it today. The Book Of Victory is my favorite.

    << <i>... I remind myself that I too am a customer and probably have been the subject of conversation. >>


    Yes. I totally know what you're saying and I couldn't agree more. Too often the customers forget that shop owners are humans (and often their neighbors). The reverse is also true.
