Somehow this confused the HD dealership...
Somehow this confused the HD dealership...
All I wanted is to have new tires on my wheels. It's a '75 FLH. I brought
in the loose wheels. For tires. Is this hard? Have a drink, I got
pitchers of beer, apple cider and some egg nog, anything else ask Shirley
and I'd stay away from the egg nog, it smells funny.
"Hi, I called earlier, I need tires."
"Okay, you brought in the bike?"
"No, the wheels."
Silence, then some keypad work. Lots of keypad work.
I interrupt the silence, "I won't be able to pick them up until next
weekend. Slide the job in when it's slow. And I want the front tire back."
"Why?"
Thinking, 'None of your ficking business', I answer, "It's complicated. I
just want it back."
More keypad work, followed by, "Okay, all set."
I innocently ask, "At what point in the process do I get to tell you what
kind of tire I want?"
"Uuuum...they usually just put the stock tire on there."
"That's fine. I want the narrow whitewall, please."
More keypad work. "Okay, all set."
I had my son with me. He's 8 and he's a little rock star with the Ladies at
the counter there. He wanted to see if they had anymore keychains, like
last time. He and I went into the boutique to look around and angle for a
keychain, when the kid from the service dept. hunts me down to ask me a
question about the year of the bike, and then before I leave, the service
manager...The Service Manager...hunts me down saying, "I don't know if we'll
have tires that fit a bike that old."
I assure him that it's the same tire that every FLH wears.
The boy walked out of there with *two* keychains, what a little rock star he
is.
When I got home I warned The Wife that the dealership will be calling, and
to just say, "Dunlop." See, they never asked that part.
Prost!

Whew! When you go back pay with cash, then when they tell you, It'll
be twenty-seven dollars and 3 cents, give 'em 30 dollars, then tell
'em I've got a nickel right after they key in the 30 bucks, and watch
'em sweat <g>
I did that at a favorate luch spot the other day, I gave the girl a 20
for an luch bill that was $8.03, then I gave her the nickle cause I
didn't want all the change back, she looked like I just asked her to
split an atom <sfsf>

Yeah, the kids kinda freeze when they can't get help from the
electronic cash registers.
I stopped at the Fox store to get a soda the other day and the 10-12
year old kid in front of me threw a $20 on the counter for a soda and
a candy bar. I told the owner that when I was that age, the $3 that I
had in my wallet at the time would have been a big deal, much less a
$20.
Never saw those except at Christmas and my B-day...don't see 'em at
all much anymore.

Better yet, when the tab comes up to $27.03 I'll fork over $28.02 and just

Nah, you're thinkin' RE.
I believe my first job paid $1.65/hr. Well, that was my first job
with a hourly wage. The paper route I had before that paid like
$50/mo...for a 100 paper route.

*That* explains a lot. I added some coinage to a drive through order and
caused great calamity too. Gave the girl $10.25 for a $3.21 order, she gave
me back $17.04. I figured that would be my good deed for the day and tried
to tell her the change was wrong. She was indignant...... sez the machine
sez the change is $17.04!!! I told her computers are like that, if you put
in the wrong numbers you get the wrong answer. She finally relented and
asked how much more she owed me..... <D'oh!>:
After resisting the urge to say $100 I held out a ten. She looked at me like
I was from Mars. <hmmm, that seems to happen a lot. Could it be me?> She
took the ten without comprehending..... must be used to customers being
short and wanting more loot back. I was gonna tell her she'll appreciate me
when her register balnaces at the end of the shift but then figured the
register probably *won't* balnace and skipped it. Sometimes I think we ought
to go back to fingers and toes or an abacus.

I firmly believe you did that girl no favor. You should have asked for an
additional $5. When she has to pay up the diff from your order and others
like it she will either LEARN basic math or quit and take on a simpler job
like POTUS.

My son has a tendency to fuck with people's heads. Don't have any idea
where he gets that from. He'll buy something, ask the clerk to repeat
the amount of change needed, fumble around in his pocket for a bit and
then dump a completely random amount of coins on the counter.
Drives people crazy.
I told him he has a mean streak.
Funny, but mean.

My son has a tendency to fuck with people's heads. Don't have any idea
where he gets that from. He'll buy something, ask the clerk to repeat
the amount of change needed, fumble around in his pocket for a bit and
then dump a completely random amount of coins on the counter.
Drives people crazy.

I did the similar thing at the parts store yesterday. My bill was
$10.02. I gave her $11.00, she looked at me funny. I told her I
would rather have the 10 in stead of more ones in my wallet and
change from the buck to put back in my change jar at home. She looked
confused. I said give me a 10 back from the 20 and 98 cents back
from the buck. She got a calculator out,,,,,,,,shishs!
