Phone Call #3

Also looking for a rancher who breeds unicorns…

The Shopper never lives in the realm of reality. They, pardon the pun, take to flights of fancy when it comes to products they would like to have. You can always find a product that does most, if not all, of what you want it do accomplish; the price point, however, is rarely in the same vicinity as the price one would hope to pay. The Shopper does not realize any of this, and it will rise to anger when any of it is called into question. Poor, sad creatures.

Sundays On Safari #5: Douchebags

Don’t be a douchebag. Please.

This is the lowest of the low when it comes to Shoppers. They are horrible, horrible creatures. Oppose them at all costs, or they will devour your soul. I am not kidding. These are the shoppers that will leave you hollow inside. Stand your ground, and they will retreat.

Phone Call #2

Stop calling for other people. They can find a few minutes to call for themselves.

The Shopper is such a lazy creature that they not only lie to others, but they also lie to themselves in order to give the initial lie greater merit, such as, “Could you call them for me? I’m just swamped.” The Shopper my very well be swamped, but if it is such a critical thing to have someone call about an incredibly specific item immediately, they can find time to do it personally. Rather, they should find the time to do it personally. A few minutes is all it takes, and if it is a specific part, really do it personally. It is not fair to your friend, and it is incredibly annoying to the shopkeeper. And they will hate you for it.
