rickvsWe had a belligerent customer come into our store this week. First I heard her, she was loud and stuck in a loop: "I am *not* playing! You've been working on my sign for three months, and you don't have it ready? I want my money! I'm NOT PLAYING!"... Lather, rinse, repeat for about half an hour.
Our sales manager isn't allowed to cut a refund check without our store owner there, so we couldn't help her in the manner she wished to be helped. Irate Customer seemed to think that if she kept the volume up, we'd eventually cry "hold, enough" and dig into our own wallets, or something. Turns out this customer had never returned calls from the original salesperson, trying to confirm the size of her sign ...then she showed up expecting it to be complete, all seventy-six dollars of it. So when she yelled that our sales manager would have to call 911 to get her to leave ...that's exactly what happened :/
Saturday night, we went to see "Greater Tuna" with its original cast. Quite the funny show, but perhaps not as child-safe as the parents in front of us were hoping. Then we had a late dinner at Texas Land and Cattle Company, so we got to watch some of the fireworks Six Flags was shooting off nearby. I had very tasty ribs there, but I think they're what disagreed with me starting about four-thirty this morning. Without going into details, my body's spent the day bailing out everything I've eaten recently, and Rachal's been taking very good care of me.
And, the second instance of "Tuna": I'm watching Bill Parcell's Cowboys get spanked by the Minnesota Vikings in their season opener.
