Default RE: Customer service?

Here's an update from The Mooch.

My mom called me today all happy. She had gone into the shop today to see about getting a shirt. She ran into the salesman I bought my bike from as she was going in the door.

Salesman: Hey, Mrs. Grayson! How ya doing?! I saw Dick in here a few days ago but didn't have a chance to say hello before he left.

Mommy Grayson: Yeah, he was a little upset.

Salesman: Uh oh. What about?

Mommy Grayson: *Fills Salesman in on t-shirt story*

Salesman: That's not cool. Hang on a minute. *salesman departs then returns* Here ya go. Here's a new shirt for him.

Mommy Grayson: That's so wonderful! Thank you so much. He'll be so happy.

Salesman: Just doing my job. Tell him to come by and say hello next time he's in town.


She's gonna mail it up to me next week. I'll wear my new shirt in there next time I'm in town and thank him personally.

So, persistence in mooching pays off then. Great!

I couldn't say. You'd have to ask my mom.

I probably could list a buncha y'all on here who have missed the point of this thread. No sense in it, tho. Surely doesn't seem to sink in that the offer was floated about buying the shirt if he coudn't get a freebie. Raggin' on him for bein' a mooch when he plainly said he'd ofbought the shirt if'n the clod of a sales manager wouldn't have been a jerk shows a lack of reading comprehension at best. Here 'tis all laid out in chronological order:


1) Can I gits a free shirt?

2) No, yer a jerk for even askin'.

3) Geewillakers, I'd buy one because I like to tell dudes where I bought my bike.

4) Buy a bike, or yer wastin' my time, jerk.


There it is. Ain't hard to understand that Dick wasn't tryin' to bankrupt the shop, or even unwilling to actually pay real money for a new t-shirt. Shoot, the sales-clod siphons big bucks to LA poly-ticks just to do business in the crookedest state west of the Big Muddy.
