This guy comes into our store last week looking to sign up for cellphone service. The process does not start off well, because the guy has to have a $500 deposit before the company will give him service. Usually this is a deterrent, but not in this case. Well this guy manages to come up with the money after having it approved by the people who manage his money for him. Turns out that he is “incompetent”. He can’t make financial decisions on his own. I tell the boss that I don’t think signing him up is going to be a good idea; however, he says that the cellphone company thinks it is alright.
Well, he “needs” a particular air-card that we don’t stock. The boss searches high and low to find one that will work with our cellphone provider. Problem is that it has to come from the cellphone provider. They ship the air-card UPS, but they don’t pay the extra to make sure it will get here anytime soon.
The asshole that “needs” this card proceeds to call and stop by the store multiple times per day to see if the card has arrived. He generally wants to get into an argument or tell us a pity story about why he needs this thing “right now”. He is a royal pain in the ass, but, as usual we grin and bare it.
Today he comes in starting the same problems. You know, I am really just too busy to deal with this shit. I particularly don’t want to deal with assholes. I explain the problem to him. He then claims that we are blaming the problem on other people. Ok, this is true. Mainly because we have no control over the people that shipped it or the people, UPS, bringing the air-card. I assure him that we wish it would hurry up and get here also. This is absolutely true, as we are tired of this guy causing scenes in our store. So he puts on another display of stupidity by storming out of the storm cursing loudly.
One minute late he is back in the store and interrupts a conversation I was having with another customer. He wants to know the number of the cellphone provider. Oh, what are you going to do. Call and tell them that we are unhelpful, because the air-card isn’t here. You dumb ass, they are the ones that shipped it to us. Maybe you should find a new hobby besides being a prick!
