I hate to stereotype, but...

Hi there,
I might get some hate for the following, but I call it as I see it. First off, though, I am really into fitness and work-out with weights and kettlebells fequently. I work at a book store, so I pretty much keep up with all the new fitness mags (except for the comical ones with the guys that look freakish; not my thing) and and books. One night last week: two guys walk in just before closing. They are pretty big fellows, no problems in the muscle department. They just got out of the gym 2 floors down.
"Hey, dude!", one guy yells at me.
"yes, can I help you out?"
Shit, dude. Hey you have this book Ultrametabolism or something like that?" I know the book. I read it. We dont have any copies left.
"Nope, we're out. Sorry, guys."
"Hey, can you order that?"
"Yes, " I say.
"OK, go ahead dude."
"Sure, let's just step over here so I can get your information down."
"Cant you just call the wharehouse and tell them to send it?"
"Nope. This would be a special order since we dont have any on hand."
"How does that work?" one guy asks.
"Well, I need your name, phone and/or email and a credit card so we can order that for you," I explain.
"Fuck!" the other guy says. He continues to his buddy,"Dude, lets go the the other place and see if they have it. I dont want to wait."
"Hey, can you go check in back, see if it is a box or something?"
I flatly looked him square in the face and said, "Nope. We don't have it. I can show you the inventory manifest if that would help."
"Ah, forget it dude." He then proceeds to hammer the desk with his fist and walks away.
I remember thinking to myself, I dont think these gays got a problem controlling their metabolism. Maybe social skills, but... Draw your own conclusions.

roid rage.

It really bothers me when people say dude all the time...

and when people come into our store and are like, "Can you check the back?" It's like, no, we check all the boxes at 6am, and we don't have anything back there. Do you want to step back here and type it into the computer to see that it's not there?

It really bothers me when people say dude all the time...

What about "babe" or "honey"?

(I favor "hussy" myself.)

lol. Nope, just "DUDE!!!!"

Ho maaaaaan, I'm the worst. I also do the thing where you half close your eyes and do that hand thing in front of you. Brahhhhhh

maybe they had the same experiences at the bookstore that i have had? i ordered a book waited and waited for the phone call, then went there in person they checked and said it isnt in yet, meanwhile my wife is browsing around found a partually empty crate of books tapes and such and took it upon herself to look thru it, no book, then went to the section and looked they put my special order book on the shelve to be sold, so everytime i order something i dont wait on no call, and i dont call to check on it, i just go to the store and check the shelves and theres where i always find it, im not saying your store is ran the same way, just maybe they had some of the same experiences ive had with book stores

I think this post would fit better into the 'Rants and Raves' section of Craigslist, and not in a strength training forum.

Just saying, dude.

I dont think these gays got a problem controlling their metabolism.

Thats funny. Thats what you should have told them lol.

I dont think you two gays have a problem with metabolism. lol

Maybe if they were gay it would have gone more like this.

Oh I simply can't believe you haven't got any copies. You know I think I'm coming over a bit funny, oh Marcus, hold me please.

I know, I mean this simply wouldn't happen if Ru Paul ran this shop. I'm feeling the need to have a Diva strop, and in these trousers, what will people think? Come on Tarquin we're leaving. I've never felt so disgusted since I saw those photos of Britnies shaved head.

Oh I know Marcus, all that lovely hair savaged, with all the precision of a Joan Rivers quip. I shed a tear I simply did.

Ciao loser, yeah ciao, we never like this shop anyway. This colour scheme is so last year.
