Random observations

Why is it that a woman has no problem asking were something is, but a middle age man refuses to accept the advice of a teenage female working in hardware. I work there, thus I must at least know where the glue is...come on, give me a break. I do know my way around the tool section.

People really need to learn how to drive. When the speed limit is 80 km/h, please go 80 km/h....NOT 50 km/h!!

I was working with my manager yesterday, learning some new stuff in regards to pricing, and we were walking down the main isle when this old lady stopped us. She was looking for an oval area rug. My manager and I proceeded to tell her that we didn't carry large oval area rugs, just the square ones. After deciding that maybe a square one wouldn't be too bad. She then had us unroll EVERY FREAKING RUG that had anything remotely close to green on it. She would then tell us that it was the wrong green...or that it didn't have enough ivory in it. When she finally picked out a rug she was satisfied with, she had us unroll it to make sure, and then she complained that it would slide across the hardwood floor. I then tried to explain how you could solve this, but god forbid she didn't want to hear it from me, or even my manager for that matter...stupid lady, I bet she brings back that damn carpet.
