Yet Some More...

Idiocy abounding:

Guy comes in, gets what he needs, wanders the entire garden center, then comes to the register and says, "It's very disappointing."

Like the true Weirdness Goddess I am, I say, "Oh? How so?"

His response: "It's disappointing you're not carrying the potting mixes and soils anymore."

WG: "What do you mean?"

Him: "The potting mixes and things to plant in. You don't have any of them anymore."

WG: "Yes, sir, we do. They're over there by the fence. All those bags? Those are all the soils and potting mixes we carry. There are some there ...those purple bags are a potting mix."

Him: "Oh, wow. I need to go check those out!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Couple walks in and he says, "Marigolds."

WG: "We just got some in today. Let me see where they are." "Marigolds are on the cart, right there outside the gate."

She: "No, I want the flats."

WG: "I don't know that we have any left. We have the six packs right there. Just came in today."

He: "Humph. The [other large home improvement retailer] has marigolds."

(Keeping in mind that the nearest one of those is a good hour and a half drive--and at the price of gas!--and his asshole's tone implies that I am either lying, or deliberately keeping him from his stupid marigolds) I reply: "We sold out of a LOT of things over the weekend. Maybe the [other store mentioned above] hasn't been as busy as we have been."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again, I ask, WHERE DO THEY FIND THEM AND WHY DO THEY KEEP SENDING THEM TO ME?

While we are on the subject...Can you tell me why my Marigolds aren't growing? I planted them in horrible dirt, and give them water occasionally...

mwahahahaha
