A great story for those us of who know what it's like to deal with retail retards.

The first and third chapters are pure gold.

"I'm sorry, but the law says that if you are on welfare that government agents can treat you however we want because technically, you owe us. Get off welfare if you want to be treated with respect."
That's going in my sig!

Fake or not, Gord is always funny.
Man, the Radio Shack stories I could tell...
...but I won't.
I'll, instead, paraphrase the majority of them for you all:
"Bend the rules for me!"
"No."
"Do it! That's good customer service!"
"No, I'll be fired. I don't care about you or your customer service."
"I bend the rules for people all the time! I'm not gonna be fired!"
"Is it your business or an independent business?"
"Yes!"
"That's why. Radio Shack owns this overpriced garbage. I don't. Go away."
"Your manager always does this for me!"
"He shouldn't. He bends the rules and dodges getting fired all the time. I don't want to. He'll be in tomorrow."
"Oh. Okay."
Just happened again today. People are assholes about cell phones and DVD players.

Wait. Why would she call this game store and think it's this mythical government agency?

That is halarious.

The Gord likes to remind people that second place is just the first loser.

"Exactly. Now look, if I were to sell you a mod chip I would lose you as a customer. Now, if I were going to lose you as a customer I'd rather do it on a high note like setting you on fire. At least then I would have some satisfaction of a job well done."
"I'm leaving!"
"But I haven't set you on fire yet!"
Oh I officially declare this guy as my hero.

"I'll phone the government on you!"
(and now it gets really good. Sheer brilliance on this one).
<and Gord does this in a shocked, scared and shaking voice>
"Oh please… no. Don't do that, please. They'll shut me down! Please, I beg of you and implore you not to do that. Whatever you do, don't call the 'Bureau of Video Games and Customer Service.' I've already got my one warning, and if they get another complaint they'll shut me down… please, don't…"
"Yes, that's exactly who I am going to phone!"
"Are you sure? Look, here is their number. (Gord writes down my store phone number). Please, don't… I'll be closed down."
"You should have thought of that before you didn't rent to me!"
This so reminds me of my Games-2-Go/Video Update days when I was living in Des Moines. I dealt with crack-addled people like this on a daily basis.

Gord's stories are wonderfully entertaining works of fiction. Especially the one where he gave a Liu Kang-style kung-fu beatdown on two guys at once who had kicked the door of his store. :lol:
