Confessions of a Salesman
So I have a confession to make. I work a second job for a major electronics retailer lets call it Good Buy. Well, yesterday I was working and a gentleman customer came in and asked me if we had any electric razors. I had no choice I had to do my job. I said "yes" (thinking: if you want to call them razors....) and brought him back to the blade spinning devices. Now, I'm not one of those salespeople who lies so when he asked me what I thought I told him that I use a straight razor. He looked at me and said "oh". Then he pick up an electric razor that said it could be used wet or dry (non-distilled water + electricity + sharp blades + face = bad things) and said "This is the one I want." So I went up and rang him out.
I felt terrible about the whole thing. But, what was I to do? it's not like we have a section in Good Buy for Dovo's. I hate when customers are convinced that they want something I know they will not be happy with. Like when they ask for the cheapest compaq laptop on the shelf. I know that they will be back in a couple of months complaining about it, but there's nothing I can do to change there minds.
Please forgive me for my trespasses!
