[Maritime Q-Scout]

this happened about 2 years ago now when I was working retail at Radio Shack. I wrote the story down then and just found it, it's a classic IMO

A man walks in with his girlfriend. He looks like he's a reject from a Moncton high school. Missing teeth, jean jacket, generic torn up t-shirt (as opposed to Pat's simply generic t-shirts) and to cap it all off a generic ball cap, blue beak, and Breton Toyota written across it. No offense Deer but if your dad sold this guy a car, I'd lose all respect for him, and torch your house... you'd deserve it IF he sold him a car. He was THAT bad!

Has a sobey's bag, in it a Koss CD clock radio. That's it. He says it's skipping his CD's causing scratches on them, NEW CDs!!, and he wants a refund. I'm thinking "oooooooooo kay" I ask if he has a receipt (an easy way to say no if he doesn't have it). Surprisingly he does. I look at it, within the 30 day return policy. But still no box, no packaging.

I go to the assistant manager and ask what to do. The radio is discontinued, so it's not like we can exchange it for a new one.

John (assistant manager) goes over and asks what's wrong with it. They tell him, I get a cd, and he listens. Plays PERFECTLY. Tries a number of tracks, fine, and no scratches. They said it skips for them. John goes out back and gets his own store bought CD. Sure enough works perfectly.

Guy: Well it doesn't work for us, I want my money back.

John: well sir, do you have your box and packaging?

Guy: I want my money back, I have the receipt

John: I see that but I need the box and packaging as well

Guy: I have the receipt

John: I see that but I need the box and packing

Guy: I have the receipt

John: I see that but I need the box and packing

Guy: I want my money back, I'm gonna call the police

John: ok

Guy: can I use your phone?

John: it's in use at the moment (aka no)

the guy WAITS for the phone

I go out back and make sure the security video is picking this up.

The guy takes the phone and dials........




















911!!!!!!!!!!!



To ask what the number for the police is!!!!!!

John: You can't call 911, it's not an emergency!

He gives the guy a phone book. He can't find the number

he turns to me and says: What page is the number for the police on?

me: I dunno?

guy: DON'T YOU LIVE HERE?!?!?

me: yes, but I don't know what page the number for the police is on

at this point Rick, the other guy working, goes out back and calls security.

After ranting about calling the police, and taking us to court, security shows up

Rick walks up to him with AJ the security guard
Rick: Well sir, there is nothing else we can do for you today, if you wish to come in and see the manager he will be in Wednesday morning, for now your cd player is over there on the counter along with your receipt. I am now asking you to leave the store

Guy: I'm not leaving the store I'm calling the police

Rick: as a representative of the store I'm asking you politely to leave

Guy: I'm not leaving!!!!

Rick: oh yes you are

AJ: OK LISTEN BUDDY YOU'RE LEAVING, OR I'M CALLING THE POLICE AND YOU'LL BE BARRED FOR A YEAR. I'M SERVING YOU YOUR NOTICE RIGHT NOW, I DIAL YOU'RE GONE. YOU WANT ME TO CALL THE POLICE!??!?

Guy: Yes I would, please call them for me

AJ: I CALL THE POLICE THEY'RE TAKING YOU AWAY, AND YOU'RE NOT COMING BACK, BARRED FOR A YEAR

Guy: call them!

Guy's girlfriend: Let's just go

AJ dials the police: Yes this is security at the Sydney Shopping Centre.....

(to the guy) Are you leaving???

(to police) ok cancel that

Myself, Rick, John: hahahahahaha

Ahhh I miss retail sometimes.
