As you all may know, I work in the seasonal department in the front of the store at work now. Easter is my first holiday up there, dealing with the masses of procrastinating shoppers. I have spent the past two days telling people that we are sold out of many different items, such as chocolate bunnies, marshmallow eggs, plastic colored eggs for filling, dove chocolates, and regular jelly beans. So Target got a little cheap on the candy this year, but it's still not my fault that they couldn't find the time to make it in to the store before the last two days before the holiday. On Wednesday we were sold out of very little and they could have had all of the damn bunnies they wanted. ANYWAY...I digress. My favorite exchange out of all of these conversations was one I had today, around 4 pm:
Shopper Dude: "Do you have any more chocolate bunnies?"
Me: "No, sorry, we are sold out."
Shopper Dude: "Well, are there any more in the back?"
Me: "No, we are sold out." DUH.
Doesn't sold out mean there aren't any more to be sold? As in, the store has completely exhausted it's supply of said item? And, why would I be secretly hiding chocolate bunnies on the day before Easter? Why? My only goal up in that department is to sell everything we have at full price so that when the clearance hounds come in at 8 on the dot Monday morning, there is nothing but shitty baskets left for them.
Happy Easter ;) Hope everyone gets to eat some delicious ham tomorrow! (gotta love the pig!)
