Black Friday Report
13 years ago
Report from the… we’ll call it Pawmart in Washington Pre Black Friday shopping event. Yes Pawmart ruining peoples live one holiday at a time!
You people are F*cking Crazy! Oh My God!
Alright I should probably start from the beginning. I work graveyard so I don’t see the big burning ball in the sky too much. For the most part I come when it’s dark and I leave when it’s dark. And the powers that be saw fit to bring me in at 4:30pm… that’s a might early for me. So they had me and a few other coworkers distributing the 360s and the Wiis (of which no one really came for due to the release of the WiiU).
During this time I found myself heading out to guard yes guard Bath Towels, Down Pillows and Memory Foam Mattress Toppers more than the gaming consoles of which I was being paid to look after. I found that I actually grow something that resembles a spine for black Friday. I had to stop a large man from prying the plastic wrap off the Mattress Topper, pull the Down Pillows out of shopping carts and keep people from taking the Towels (little proud of my self I actually scared a couple customers just by looking at them). If the little sign on the pallet says you can’t get it till 8 you gotta f*cking wait! I did however draw the line when I saw a young woman cuddling with one of the pillows while it was still on the pallet; that was something of a level of insanity I was not going to mess with. Once eight o’clock hit it was like the most violent pillow fight I’d ever seen people were hitting each other with pillows and towels just to keep the ones they had.
My line got a little uppity for a bit until they saw me get hit with the Wii pallet; they kind of shut up after that.
Once that was done I took angry calls from customers who were upset that the store was crowded… really? And we ran out of the things we were advertising…
After getting someone to relieve me I went up front to cashier (I’ve been everywhere man I’ve been everywhere). Where I encountered a new batch of angry customers. These customers were upset that we were not honoring vague sale ads from another store. *sighs and rubs brow* Yes we ad match… but we need to know the exact model of the TV we’re ad matching we also need the regular price. We’re not going to give you a hundred dollars off when the ad says brands very from store to store.
“But your commercial said…” That dosen’t change the fact that we have rules for it. “Your ad lied!” … It’s Pawmart… this surprises you? Other stores don’t want you shopping for they’re merchandise at others stores. So they word it so ad matching is damn near impossible. And further more who the hell sees an ad from another store and says “I’ll get that at Pawmart”? We post our ad matching rules all over the store you have enough time to read the ads and enough time to tell me I don’t know what I’m doing but bold print at the front of the store isn’t worth a glance. Why the hell are you people so stupid? … And why the hell am I defending Pawmart!?! Aggh …I feel dirty *shutters* I need to go take a shower…
