Today is the first day we're technically allowed to be open according to NJ Phase Two guidelines. Problem is, we're not open yet due to remodeling and just not being ready even though the state apparently is. Well, I've been here a f*cking hour and I already have people testing my f*cking patience. Here's a taste...
1 - Guy came by and wanted me to appraise his Beatles collection for free. He doesn't want to sell them, he just wants me to tell him what everything is worth. I told him we don't do appraisals but I'd be more than happy to outright buy them if that's what he wants. He says to me "Yeah well I don't trust you enough to not rip me off so you're going to have to earn that." Dude, take your sh*tty common ass Beatles records and go somewhere else I don't have time for this.
2 - Three people showing up and not understanding that just because the state allows us to be open, that doesn't mean we're ready to open yet.
3 - The reason I'm even writing this. Guy just called and wanted to order books. I told them we don't do special orders I'm afraid. We're a used store. He says "Well somebody got this gift certificate for me so what is this even good for then?" I told him flat out that we didn't give him the gift certificate so I don't understand how that's our problem. I tell him we don't have a distributor so I can order his books on Amazon and charge him a service fee or he can order them himself and save money. I said we're a used book store and that he can come when we open and use the certificate then. He goes, "well what if I don't want anything in your store?"
Motherf*cker do you understand how sh*t works? No. No you don't. If you get a Wendy's gift certificate, you don't go in asking for a f*cking Whopper. I told him he'll just have to wait until we open and try for himself and he huffed and puffed and said fine.
F*cking people are going to kill me today.
