A Quick Question to 80% Of The People I've Ever Told We Were Out Of Something.

What makes you think I would know if another store has it? You just saw that I had to go check to see if my own damn store had it. Do you really think I am more familiar with the inventory of another store than I am with my own?

Next time I'm going to fuck with you. "Yes, the Walgreens on the other side of town has it. They're kinda stingy with it though, so you have to be real adamant about asking for it, and don't take no for an answer. Ask for George. George is the key to getting this product. Definitely. "

As soon as I say that though, it will dawn on you that there's no way I could know this. Yet you will never realize what a stupid question you just asked.

Dumbass.

Hi! I stumbled across your blog about a week ago & I'm glad I did! I love it. Especially the freaky customers & the Twitter Updates. I've often laughed outload at them....which makes for weird looks from co-workers. My favorite random cuss word has to be Spunk Chucker. Ok, enough stroking of your ego. Just wanted to say I love your blog & will be back.

Thats kinda like you are supposed to magically know what their insurance co-pay will be, what it will cost, if it's even covered.. and how exactly long it should take, since we just slap labels on 'em anyhoo..

Yes!! This is exactly the kind of response I want to have to the people who respond to your "Hello, thanks for calling..." with "IS MAH SCRIPSHUN REDDY?" Pause. No name, nothing. I so badly just want to say, "Yes, it's ready", and hang up, to have them come in later and telling them I didn't remember speaking to anyone by the name of "_____"

Additionally, I want to spew out ridiculously large price quotes to those who ask me, DIRECTLY AFTER HADING ME THEIR SCRIPTS, "How much is it through my insurance?" and when they don't like this price, then "Well how much is it at Walmart/CVS/RiteAid/whatever"

I don't understand why chains inventories aren't networked, so this question CAN be answered fairly easily. Doesn't seem like a huge technological jump in 2008... My god, and if you don't have your own inventory on computer, what year are you in?

Reminds me of the customer who came in and wanted our $4 list. The tech gave it to her, she looked it over and said "Where's the prices?" The tech looked at me as I tried not to spew coffee out my nose....

We love you, DM!

to anonymous: yeah our inventory is computerized but it ain't 100% accurate. i do really hate having to tell customers we're out of something. and then tell them they have to drive their ass across town to get it. there must be a better way.
