He's still out there somewhere looking for shitty items to bring us. But I don't think his son is at CHOP. I think he wants a bag o weed.


He is not looking for good weed, for $5.00.

Yeah, they probably sell stolen kidneys and spleens and what not. Bones with the serial # ground off.

i was about to say i would never be so desperate as to spend five on weed but... i've been scraping res-hits for a couple days now. I guess I am pretty desperate.

Yes. Anyone can go. And unless you pay someone to pick up your trash, you will go too.

Earlier this week a guy came in selling GPS units. We rejected them because they didn't have the windshield mounts. The dude asked me a weird question: is there any limit on the number of GPSes they can sell to us? Uh, no (but why are you asking?)

Today our main police contact came in and looked at a bunch of GPSes and put one on hold, which means they figure it's stolen and are picking up all the evidence. They described the guys ripping off GPSes.

At the end of the day this pair came in and had mounts and two more GPSes. My coworker realized these were the guys that the cops are looking for.

We did not buy their GPSes.

In today's game of "Retarded or High?" a light-skinned black woman came in with a man, who picked out DVDs, while she looked at engagement rings. She spoke extremely slowly and seemed pretty out of it. She said she doesn't like round diamonds, only square or other shapes, and then immediately asked to see a round diamond, and liked it. We decided the answer to "Retarded or High?" today is BOTH.

I have a friend who refers to exceptionally strong people as being "retarded strong." Maybe she was "retarded high."

Victory is mine

I helped an old man out looking at rings. He picked one out, asked for it to be cleaned and put in a box, then announced he'd be back with his debit card.

The guys relentlessly agreed that he was never coming back.

Five minutes later - in walks the dude! And the guys had to admit that victory was mine.

(It was OK because not an hour earlier, I spent 10 minutes with a guy helping him look at Nintendo handheld games systems, picking out games for his son, only to find at the end of all that that he wouldn't buy it unless we provided a warranty. Well there's precious time wasted... unless it isn't)

good question.

I'll call them and ask.

just got off the phone. it's thirty days, not seven. and the refund is made in the same way the purchase was made, debit card, cash, credit card, etc. I asked about a nintendo gameboy as an example. I spoke to Rachel.

My co-worker Sammy handled it. He figured that the cops were going to put on hold every GPS unit these boys came in with. Taking the units in and out of storage was going to be a big pain in the ass for us. So he just rejected them.

Sammy is not his real name, but I can't take it any longer. There is a real interesting dynamic in the shop between myself, Sammy, Alan and the old man Leonard.
