This whole store closing business has been quite enlightening. I've learned alot about human behaviour. The good and the bad. Mostly bad. And quite a bit of downright funny and foolish. So here's some do's and don't on how to behave as a customer during a "Quitting the Business Sale"
*Don't walk in saying, "What's free? Whatcha giving away?" We would actually still like to make a profit and pay some bills. Don't be a freaking vulture, coming in to pick our bones. Rude.
* Don't make offensive offers on our product. If something's marked $149, a non offensive offer would be, say, $135 or so. Don't come in and offer $99!!! Take it or leave it. We'll leave it , thank you very much. Rude.
* You might want to pay attention to all those GIGANTICALLY HUGE signs that say "Store Closing". So don't come in and ask us to order something, or ask when we'll be getting more in, or ask for a job! Get a clue people!
* Our quantities are limited. Most folks realize that. So don't get all pissy and throw a shoe across the room because we don't have your size. Yep. Some "lady" actually did that the other day. Rude.
* Quit asking why we're closing and say we're your favorite store blalalalalala, when we know you haven't shopped with us in like, 2 years! If we were your favorite, and you had actually shopped, we'd probably still be hanging in there!
And finally, it's okay to wish us well, and hope for the best etc. This whole thing is tough, and we're trying to put a positive spin on it. Your good thoughts mean the world.
Vent over.
Have a nice day!
