day of sales... *read*
A young guy moves to the big city and goes to a big department store looking for a job...
The manager, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home." Well, the manager liked the kid, so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the manager came down. "How many sales did you make today?" The kid, "One."
The manager, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 sales a day.
How much was the sale for?" The kid, "$101,237.64." The manager, "$101,237.64? What did you sell him?"
The kid, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing, and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department, and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4X4."
The manager, "You mean a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?!" The kid, "No no no, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife, and I said, "Well, since your weekend's fucked, you might as well go fishing."
