what the...



so this guy who looked sort of like quasimodo came up to me today and wanted my district manager's phone number. normally, we do not give out her # unless it is something that we cannot handle at the store level. i kept trying to explain that her # was private, and asked if i could help him. he wouldn't say anything but he would stare me down...perhaps trying to stare me into submission? i don't know. it was weird and kind of creepy. i wasn't really buying the scare tactic though.

he continued to ask for the number, and i continued to say "no" and asked if i could help. he said something about hiding things and corporate b.s. and politics...and some more staring. i stared back and waited for him to tell me what i could do to help. then, he left.

ah, the joys of retail.

you hide all the books by conservative authors like sean hannity don't you?
we do that too...so they say.

yeah. apparently we also only feature ann coulter on the front table too. did you have people turning her books over, so that they were face-down? we did. it only brought more attention to them. silly people.
