I feel bad....
A girl just called the store and ask if we were the Footlocker in the mall. Being the only Footlocker in a 50 mile area, I thought about making a joke, but I thought to myself "it's early, let that one go." I said, "yes we are." He is the conversation that followed:
Valley Girl: Ummm, okay. Do you guys do like, layaway's and S*** for Christmas?
Me: (beat) Yeah, we do.
Valley Girl: Ummm, okay, so like if I came in and bought an 80 dollar shoe for Christmas, like
how much would I have to put down?
Me: 20 percent.
Valley Girl: (pause) ...annnnnnd how much would that be...?
Me: 16 bucks
Valley Girl: (quickly) Okay sorry I am like being retarded or something.
(Silence)
Valley Girl: Ok, Thanks!
Me: No problem, thanks for calling.
After I hung up, I felt really bad because I made her feel stupid on purpose. And I think my self-righteous attitude probably did not help the situation. So to everyone out there who will be calling footlocker today; Please attempt to sound intelligent so I don't feel bad for exposing your inability to do basic math.
