Every now and then, someone will come into the store and act like they know me waaaaaay better than they actually do, but this particular person took the cake. For the sake of the story Im going to call this guy Josh, because that is his real name and he irritated me enough to not create a fake one for him. Once upon a time, as in earlier this week, Josh came in to the store and decided to bring me what I could only assume was the worst possible games he could find in not only his house, but in all of his friends houses, of which Im willing to bet he only has one (friend, not house. He could have five houses for all I know). Upon ringing up the amount I could only offer the guy $20 for his slew of Dora the Explorer games. Unsatisfied with the offer he decided to start lying, and THIS is when my day went from GOOD to GREAT. Jeff - Alright man, your games are pretty beat up and we will have to replace all of the cases because... well just look at them. I can offer $20, which is quite a bit considering what you have here. Josh - $20? You cant hook me up and get me $30? I can only buy four packs of cigs with that. Jeff - You can get five packs if you get Virginia Slims. Josh - Man I dont smoke that. Jeff - Yeah sorry, looks like you will only be able to buy four packs then. Josh - Seriously? Jeff - Super seriously. Josh - You cant hook me up man? Im yalls best customer. Watch, if Kevin or his brother were here theyd hook me up, they always do. Cmon give me $30 man. Jeff - Kevin and his brother hook you up? Like, the one that owns this place? Josh - Yeah I know both of them. Jeff - Did you know he only has one brother? Josh - Yeah I knew that. (At this point I knew I had him. So I ever so slowly leaned in, while never breaking my gaze just in case I had to dodge a punch, and then whispered as softly as I could...) Jeff - Im Kevins brother. His eyes opened as wide as two full moons. His one and only friend in the world, which was standing right next to him, got all hyena faced and let out a loud OOOOOOH SNAP! He just called you out cuz! Josh, with not much of a choice in the matter, looked at his friend for a minute and then back at me. He hung his head low to advert looking at my face and then said... $Ima take $20. I gave him $15 and then ate ice cream as soon as my shift ended.
