I can't be a Toys R Us kid

Before I start this story you need to be aware of a few things.



1. I don't like pushy sales people

2. I'm REALLY hormonal



Friday night Baby Daddy and I decide to go to Toys R Us to spend a gift card we had received. Upon walking in the door we were ambushed by an employee shoving stuffed animals in my face and telling me about everything that was on sale. "You really can't let the deal on this Barbie Mall pass you by!!!!!"



"My kid isn't even born yet, I really don't think she cares."



"Oh, well, what about the newly re-done Cinderella Movie on DVD!!!!!"



"I hate Disney."



"Oh, well, what abou...."At this point I just walked quickly away because there was a very good chance I would have to beat this woman to the ground if she kept it up. So Baby Daddy and I are wondering through the store...picking up a giant teddy bear here, a diaper bag there and all the while this chic keeps bringing crap up to me that is on sale. I'm really annoyed at this point and find myself scanning the isles before we turn down them to make sure she isn't there. After a while she seems to have given up on us are we are beginning to relax and enjoy our first shopping trip for our unborn daughter when suddenly right behind me comes a voice "You know we have Legos on sale right now!!!! They are a SUPER deal!!!!" She scared the piss right out of me. Literally. I actually pee'd a little.



Here is where things went bad in the Toy's R Us.

I spun around wielding the giant bear like a club and, in the presence of young children picking out Barbie's and parents with babies I yelled the following:



JESUS CHRIST YOU F**KING NUT MY KID ISN'T EVEN BORN YET SO WILL YOU STOP HOUNDING ME WITH YOUR CRAP BECAUSE I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL SHOVE THIS BEAR DOWN YOUR THROAT AND PULL IT OUT YOUR ASS IF YOU EVER COME UP BEHIND ME AGAIN. "



Everything in the store stopped. It was like time stood still. It was in this pause that I actually took a good look at the annoying sales lady and noticed that she didn't look totally right. Oh my god I have just yelled at a retard. Her lip began to quiver a little and I could see her eyes getting shiny. holy Christ she is going to cry. I have yelled at a retard and she is going to cry and the whole store saw it. Then, much like a dog that hears it's masters car come around the corner her ears perked up and she c0cked her head to the side, then she spun on her heel and made a beeline for the door. A new customer!!! Fresh meat! I looked over to BD to give him my "that was a close call" look but he was gone. During my rant he snuck off to the sports section to hide out in case they hauled me away for beating down an un-armed retard in the Barbie department at Toys R Us and I needed someone to bail me out.



Moral of the story: If she's pregnant and holding ANYTHING that could be used as a weapon you better back the Frost off. Being retarded is no excuse.

Yelling at retards is a lot like yelling at puppies. You can do it a dozen times, maybe more, but if you pat their heads and give them a cookie, you can still get them close enough to kick them, every time.

I hate pushy salespeople. I won't go into a store if someone has bugged me too much.



People in Maine are not extremely friendly, anyway. When I'm working, even if I say, "Hi" a lot of times they'll answer, "No! I'm just looking!"



I'm a Shakespearety salesperson, anyway. In my job, we have sales quotas, even though we don't get commission. I couldn't care less if I meet my quota or not.



I predict I'll be back in the paint department before long.

A tried and true method for getting rid of pushy salespeople is to decline their offer of 'help' by saying





No thanks, I'm just shoplifting.

About a week ago, the attendant at the gas station called me "sir".



After he gave me my change, I said "thanks, miss" and walked off. I don't think he noticed.

The rich people are trying their best to take over the beaches, but luckily a lot of land is owned by the state the beaches are state parks.



We don't have a huge amount of sandy beaches in Maine--something like less than 1% of the actual coastline.



The ocean is so cold here, anyway, if you're not used to it, you can't swim in it.

Down here, where the Labrador current meets the Gulf Stream, you don't have any clue whether the water temp will be 50 or 80. Most of the times, that temp fluctuation can occur within hours. Yankees seem to get all giddy over themselves when this temp change happens immediately.



This causes them to shed lots of clothing on the beach, and is a great source of hilarity(and voyeurism) to our Baptist eyes.

I used to work at Toys 'R Us. In fact, it was my first job. I wasn't a pushy sales guy, more like the guy who would bend over backwards to help the customers out. Since this was all before I removed my rose-colored glasses I ended up earning employee of the month the very first month I was there.



My stupidity did not end there. I was asked to run the Pokemon League, to which I asked if would get more money. Laughter was my response. After dealing with about 35 kids all screaming and farting (the meetings were scheduled just long enough after lunchtime so the parents could unload their little Hazmat brats to us and enjoy a flatulence free afternoon) I vowed never to be conned again.



Then came Camp Geoffrey... I had to wear a pith helmet and have such fun events as coloring and painting. I even faked Will Smith's autograph for some parents since MIB 2 had just come out. Still earning 6.75 an hour, I had to actually wear the Geoffrey suit. A rank, putrid aroma permeated this suit. I later found out that the previous wearer had actually vomited while wearing it. I asked if it had been cleaned. I got the standard response of chuckles.



If anyone here is considering getting a job at that rancid hellhole I honestly hope you seriously reconsider.

There was one cool place to work though, i.e. no dealing with customers. '500s was the best; it's the stockroom in the back of the store and had a box crusher which we nicknamed Mr. Bonestripper. We'd smoke some and then throw all kinds of things in it and crush them as flat as a dime. Halloween was fun though, since we had about 40 aging pumpkins left over. We got 26 of them stuffed in there with a rusty bike we'd found, then Momo hit the crush button. We ended up running out of there and back to our worlds(areas we worked) laughing all the way. It took them 3 weeks to get the smell out.

pushy salespeople? Try the Gap - they freaking chase around the store waving boot-cut,ultra low rise, vintage wash jeans and khakis, and hoodies. Then when you buy the merchandise that has been mercilessly and shamelessly pushed upon you - you get the old

"You can save .0004% on your purshase if you sign up for a Gap card"

"No, Thanks"

"But it only takes a couple of minutes and you DO save .0004% on todays purchase"



Well- since you harassed the Shakespeare out of me - I won't be coming back - so a Gap Card would only be used to pick locks and line up cocaine.

I am going somewhere where they have NO customer service. Old Navy. Boo-ya

I'm going to
