My Favorite Part

Hello All! I have returned from my vacation and it was very nice. And very hard to come back to work. I did a lot of different things with my time off: Lagoon, visiting a friend in Smithfield, The Desert Star, scrapbooking, etc.

My favorite part of the week was when Hubby and I decided to buy new cell phones. He gets a good discount with one particular cell phone company through his work so we decided to check them out. We went to their kiosk in the mall and one of the guys asked if he could help us. We told him we were looking for phones. Another guy turned around and decided to be a smarty pants and told us we could find some a few kiosks down.

So we turned around and walked away.

We walked the length of the mall and then we decided to go back and see if they wanted our business now. We walked up to the kiosk and I told the first guy, "no, really, we want to sign up with your company." And Smarty Pants turns around too and just starts gushing, "oh, man, sorry! I was just joking. I would have felt so bad if you hadn't come back!" Sales Guy says, "I keep telling him not to talk to the people I'm working with." Smarty Pants just keeps apologizing and falling all over himself. I said, "Maybe that'll teach you to think before you open your mouth!" They both just continued to apologize. Mostly we just thought it was funny.

But I don't get it. If you work on commission and people just walk right up and tell you they want to give you business, why would you be all sarcastic like that? Probably not so good for business. He's lucky we came back! Both guys felt bad and gave us some free stuff and a really good deal. I guess it's worth dealing with a Smarty Pants every now and then.
