Retail Problems

 Another dose of the retail life for you.  Sometimes you get to laugh at work.

At work, we have to wear walkie talkies.  It's great when you have a question.  Someone can chime in with a quick response.  Of course, there are times when you ask a question and the line goes dead.  Either your message didn't go through or no one has an answer.

One day a coworker was looking for a chair to use while doing markdowns.  Sometimes it's a lot easier to sit down when you have to scan a lot of items close to the ground.  Over the walkie talkie, she asked, "Has anyone seen the scooty chair?"  Apparently, she did not speak clearly and there was a reply, "Booty chair?  Aren't they all booty chairs?  You have to sit your booty down in the chair."  All of us had a good laugh.  When my coworker finally replied, she made sure to enunciate and say, "Scooty chair."  

On another day, we had a furry visitor in the store.  I'm sure I have mentioned that our store is dog friendly.  We get quite a few furry visitors during the week.  On this day, the "visitor" made a little mess.  The manager was not very happy about it.  Apparently this dog visits quite often and always does his business in the store.  The manager took to the walkie talkie and said that there is a "clean up" in the pet aisle and to bring paper towels, a bag and a mop.  She went on a rant and explained how this customer always brings her dog in when it clearly has to do it's business.  After her rant, another employee said, "So, Cocoa visited us and left us a little biscuit?"
