&%$* My Customers Say
Meet Glisignoli, an anonymous CE retail worker. This is his story:
“Six years ago I finished a computer certificate and, being 19 with nothing else going on, I got a job working in the “electronics” department of a store. Being the geek that I was I thought I would have no trouble with it. I assumed that there were going to be “technically challenged” individuals but I pressed on. Three years later and my sanity gone I started recording a few of the more memorable quotes that I collected from the customers.”

I can look it up and cross reference the cartridge #.” Customer goes “I have no idea.” I ask him how I could possibly know what cartridge he needs, pointing to the display of over a hundred different kinds. He said “This other guy that works here knows what I need, he’s not here though…”
