I go to Circuit City to purchase a 256mb cf card. As I stand in line, I overhear a 18/19yr old customer and the 22yr oldish CC employee..here's the conversation as I remember.

Cust: I just want to do an exchange.
Employ: We don't carry that item anymore.
Cust: Well, can I get a refund then?
Employ: Yes, but there is a 15% restocking fee.
Cust: How much is 15% of $1000? ( :doh: I quickly say $150 to myself)
Employ: (he grabs a calculator and takes about a minute to do the math) $150

I had a hard time keeping a straight face after this whole scene, good times. I truly worry about the youth of today :eek4:

i would've been like now whats 20% of 1000. :rofl: I didnt know CC had restocking fees I dont think i ever heard of those when i was working htere

I'd complain to the management and tell their asses to waive the 15% stocking fee since they don't have the item.



oh and yes, stupid people and their inability to calculate the basic tip rate

another funny part was when the customer tripped out about the $150, he goes "holy crap, $150??" :rofl:
