1) Control your hellion spawn. Really. Don't let them run like screaming banshees through the aisles, don't let them crawl up on the displays, don't let them mess with the half-ton carpet rolls, and don't expect me to babysit your brats while I'm attempting to answer you inane question to your ADHD self. We use FORKLIFTS in this store - do you ( Read more... )

3) And while we're at it, don't bring your dogs in! And if you HAVE to (since sticking your teeny-weeny dog in a purse is the rage now... thanks, Paris.) keep them in the shopping cart or your overpriced handbag. Please?

We just have a flat "No dogs unless they're seeing eye dogs" rule. I don't allow any exceptions.

Why anyone would have a dog in a city is beyond me.

First off, let's distinguish what I feel are two seperate animals. There are those rat-like things people call dogs that you can actualy put in a bag and then there are DOGS, big, hairy, lovable, huggable friends. I see no reason to EVER own a dog, especially one smaller than my cat. On the other hand, having a DOG in the city is an environmentally friendly burglar alarm.

15) Ah, yes, receipts. SAVE THEM!

I was having a talk with a friend of mine last night on this very thing. She bought one of those űber-small iPods a few months back and ly put it through the washer & dryer. It works when she plugs it into her Mac, but the battery is shot. She wanted to know how to fix it.

I said to take it back to where you bought it and return it as defective, it should be under warranty. She threw out the receipt and didn't understand why she also needed the it if she had the warranty. I explained to her that the receipt is not only a proof of purchase, but since the warranty is only good for so long, it is your ONLY proof that your device is still IN warranty. I then had her repeat, "I will always keep my recipt for all important purchases from now on" for about 5 minutes.
