Everyday, we get so many calls .. from ppl who wants to sell things to us. Everyday, we get ppl coming into our store.. and wanting to sell their old, old games to us for ridiculous prices.

This morning, we had just this kinda kid who wanted to sell us a game that was 3 yrs old for 8 bucks..! You can get those for as little as 9.99 new at Superstore.. and they want 8 bucks for it.. muahahhaha!! sometimes.. i donch know whether to smack them over their head.. or just roll on the floor and laugh.

And the calls we get.. !! OMG..!! you should hear what they wanna sell to us.. at times..! A Wireless Router .. that we ourselves sell for 40 bucks new.. and they want 40 buck for their used ones. At times… i wonder if they are on CRACK..!

I have this customer that would come in .. once in a while.. and first she would ask you .. if she owes us any money in her account for renting previous movies. So we go check the POS system.. and indeed, she does.. but only at $3, and she would then continue.. if she can rent a movie and put it on her tap.. and pay me tomorrow.

Honestly .. it’s only 3 bucks.. and it wouldn’t make me any richer .. nor poorer.. ! but how can one walk up and down the town.. without even $3 in your pocket..?? Even my 3.5 yr old daughter.. is richer than them. It never fail to amaze me.. when ppl come in.. and ask a few bucks to be put on tap. To me.. it is so “malu” lah..!! $3 also donch have..?? and we are not talking about a kid.. this is an adult.. and an old adult at that..!

Well.. it’s already friday.. and of course no sign of Mrs Not Trustworthy at all. We had planned earlier this week.. to go to her house knocking to collect our console game back from her, but PB went ahead early this evening and gave her the most pissed off look ever.

She had asked PB to give her a few days.. to settle the money.. but PB was determined to have it over and done with today.. so gave her till 9pm. Of course she had some sob story .. saying her landlord owed her money and stuff. But she think we’re stupid or what..?? why would her landlord owe her any money..?? unless she opened her fat legs to him..!

To cut the long story short.. she came in with the gamecube system and returned it to us .. after having it for a month. What a crook.

Well.. guess who is gonna be the latest addition to my Wall Of Shame..?? Read Not Trustworthy if you haven’t a clue as to what i am saying.

It’s already Thursday today.. and we have given Mrs Not Trustworthy the benefit of doubt and even waited .. for her to show up at her store to lie to us again… but guess what..?? she didn’t even bother. We heard that she has been giving bad cheques everywhere in town.

She has got 3 kids.. and i wonder what criminals .. her sons are gonna turn out to be. For sure .. Mrs Not Trustworthy is never gonna be able to do business with us.

PS : I shall update all.. when .. we go knocking on her door really soon..!

When a customer comes in and buys a PSP from you.. and then asked you if he can return it for cash.. after 24hrs.. won’t you get all your “beware of him” antenna up..?? Yup.. ! i did anyways..! because we had one customer that asked us that today.

Well it seems like he has a PSP but it wasn’t working right for him. So now we are wondering.. if he is gonna try and switch his broken one for our good one.. and return it tomorrow..??

See when I told you .. owning your own business ain’t easy at all.. you know what i mean.. eh..??

I had said many a times.. this is a fishing town right..?? but i also had forgotten to mention that we have many fish plants in this town.. and half the population of this town.. works in the fish plant. It is hard work. .but pays very well.. plus you get to claim unemployment.. because it is a seasonal job.

But when you are just done work.. in the fish plant.. please go home.. and donch come out till you are showered like 3 times.. because coming into our store.. and staying for 20mins.. just stinks up the whole store for me. .and all my Body Shop’s home fragrance.. will go wasted. So folks if you smell like fish.. please donch come into our store.. unless it is a case of life and death.

Some ppl just should NOT flirt..! nope.. not even a wee bit..!! yup. .absolutely shut up.. and stop..! Not like she was good looking or anything.. ! far from it..!! and her spouse just DIED..!! GOD..!!! sure.. i’m supposed to give her a break..!! but God..!! flirting with PB .. right in front of me..???

I mean.. if she was good looking or even slightly intelligent.. i really donch mind lah.. but to do it.. when she is hardly .. anything at all… not even gracious.. or have personality.. sexy .. or big boobs..! STOOOOPP..!!! i almost puked..! It’s just SOOOO.. not appropriate..!
