"Sure, I'll go to the Yonge and Eglinton Indigo. Where is that, anyway?"
Warning: this blog is ONLY about Chapters' stupid and annoying customers. So skip this one if you're sick of thses stories.
A few days ago, a woman was really really mad at me because one of my co-workers damaged one of her books while they were putting it into her bag (after paying for it). So, I told her she could exchange it, and everything was fine. She went to get the book. About a minute later, she was standing at the other end of the cash lines (about 10 feet away), and was waving the book at me. "I'm going now," she said. Unfortunately, I told her, I had to fill out some paperwork - for auditing purposes only. She was so mad at me because I held her up for about a minute, which was only because she refused to cooperate. Then, she was complaining because I was holding up the line (there were about 3 people in line, and I was the only cashier available). The rest of the customers didn't seem to mind waiting for a minute while I processed her exchange. So, after all of that, she refused to give me her address, postal code and real name. But she got her new book. But she won't be back. Pity. We've lost such a great customer...
Today, a man chased me through the store shouting "Oh!! Oh!! Oh!! Oh!!" over and over again, trying to get my attention. Obviously, he didn't get my attention, because I didn't stop or turn around. Finally, he took the hint and said, "excuse me."
Professor Leonard came into the store today. Originally, I wanted to go and say hi. But then I got worried that he would ask me for a book and I'd have no idea what he was talking about. But it was cool that Leonard came in! It was weird seeing him and not having a group of grade-hungry university students chasing after him chanting, "LEONARD, LEONARD!"
My stalker was back tonight and asked me if I had been playing tennis. He then said, word for word, everything that I had said in our last "conversation". Ok. So before, I was a little creeped out by him, but figured he was fairly harmless. He just needed a friend. But when he remembered every single conversation that we've ever had, it made me very frightened. So, I told my manager that he was making me uncomfortable, and he went over and spoke with the customer. I don't think we'll see him again. At least, I hope not.
Only a few more days until the Sloan/Sam Roberts concert!! Can't wait!
