A gentleman comes in to buy one of our old 360 bundles (used, the old system that required the HD). He brings it back a few days later and complains that it doesn’t work. We start our normal troubleshooting methods in store.
We couldn’t figure anything out. So I do a swap, take his old system in as defective, then sell him a replacement bundle.
I go through and try to wipe the system so we can ship it back to the warehouse. Cockroaches start crawling out of the system instead. I freak out. Throw the system in one of our giant shopping bags, throw that in a box, tape it shut, and throw THAT in another bag.
My manager tells me to just shrink it out (meaning we take the loss) and destroy it in the back. I take it out to the parking lot and have to throw it around to destroy it. These cockroaches freaking scatter like marbles on a floor. I’m dancing around the parking lot on my tiptoes to avoid the flood. It was awful.
Second story: one of my regulars was a skunk farmer. I will say no more.
