Playstation Four-Ever
(It is late 2012, and rumors are flying about exactly what the new Playstation and Xbox would be like. A customer walks up to the counter. He looks about 20-25, with his cap on backwards and his pants low with a singlet.)
Me: “Hi, what can I do for you today mate?”
Customer: “I’d like to pre-order the new Playstation.”
Me: “I’m sorry; they haven’t actually announced it yet.”
Customer: “So? I just want to make sure I get one. How much do I need to put down?”
Me: “I’m really sorry mate, but I can’t take your money. We can’t do any pre-orders until the console is at least announced by the company.”
Customer: “Really? Well do you know when it will be released?”
Me: “Nope, but all the rumors are saying not until the end of next year.”
Customer: “That’s bull-s***! I don’t want to wait that long! They should just hurry up.”
Me: “Yeah, there’s a lot of people looking forward to it. Was there anything else I could help you with?”
Customer: “Well since I can’t get the Playstation, can I put a pre-order down for the new Xbox?”
Me: “Sorry again mate, but that hasn’t been announce yet either. But I’d say it will probably be released around the same time as the Playstation.”
Customer: “F*** off! This is bull-s***! Why can’t the f****** company just release the new consoles when I want them?! Stupid a**-holes! They should be doing what I want; I’m the paying customer! They’ll never have my money again!”
(The customer wanders around the store swearing and muttering to himself before he walks out the front and starts yelling.)
Customer: “DON’T BOTHER GOING IN THERE! THERE’S NOTHING NEW, AND THERE NEVER WILL BE! THE WHOLE PLACE IS A LIE!”
