Welp, today I experienced the most excitement I've seen in a computer store ever.
This obnoxious fat old guy and his fat daughter and her two obnoxious kids come into Jon's store.
I was standing there talking to him while the grandpa was hassling a new worker, so Jon steps in to see what he's talking about and somehow I get involved. This guy wants to bargain for a better price on a really cheep computer on sale with a package price to buy it but replace the fat fat monitor with a flat screen thin one.
So once he sees that his lame jokes arent really working and Jon is saying that he can't do that, he asks if I'm Jon's girlfriend, when he confirms I am he puts his big B.O smelling arm around me like "Oh, we're friends now will you do it for me?" Like Jon can do that, like the store is'nt a billion dollar corporation. After futile attempts at saying that he'll get me a job on campus or in some kind of court while putting his arm around me a few more times? Jon goes to get a manager because this guy is really loud and obnoxious and won't stop trying to get "a deal."
As Jon is gone trying to get a manager to come over he starts to chat with me, his opening lines are "Are you a Jew? What are you?" I respond, at this point still being friendly because he was still being friendly, that no I'm Armenian, he has no idea what this is makes a pun about if I'm "mean." In the meanwhile when Jon comes back and starts talking to a new employee, the guy asks me why he's talking to that skinny kid and tells me that he doesnt like how the guy looks. I take this as because the kid looks like, (and may be, I don't really know) gay, but I give the old man the benefit of the doubt and think maybe he just doesnt like how he looks for other reasons. Anyway later he asks what language I speak I say, Armenian, it has its own language it's in Europe around Russia (it's really not but it's the only big enough country for this guy to recognize) etc. He asks if I speak Russian also, I say no and he says his friend does, but he's in prison now for being a terrorist. I'm like, umm.. that's not good. He goes, "you could too." At which point I try to keep my cool as to not risk Jon getting in trouble for me being too offended by this closed minded old old man and walk away. Later another kid is ringing him up as he's still trying to hassle him, at which point the employee stands his ground and tells the guy he doesnt work on commission and he can't give him anything free and if he doesnt like that he should take his business somewhere else. Then the daughter starts yelling about how she's worked retail since she was 16 and the employee is being rude and blah blah blah, anyway the manager kicks the family out and we all have a good laugh about they're stupidity and flee market mentality. Still I'm offended not so much cause he thinks I look Jewish (and or?) Middle Eastern but more just by how obnoxious he was trying to be my friend one minute and then calling me a terrorist the next to get a good deal. Customers arent always right, and billion dollar corporations don't need a jerk to buy an on sale computer. They will not go out of business. Throwing a fit in a store or trying to piss people off so much that they snap and then complaining about their customer service skills is not going to get you free stuff.

Yeah i kinda felt bad for her at first, but then she just kept talking and i got really annoyed with her. Thanks about the car though. Funny i bought it cause i didn't use my AC on the jeep, and now that i turn it on in the car. i really don't care for it.

pete:
