At work today, was humming about the tills (because after five months I bothered to ask for till training). A dude comes up to me after my lunch break and this following conversation happens:

Customer - Been looking on the shelves for it, can you check in the back if you have Gear Metal Solid 2 in for the PC?

Joby - Metal Gear Solid 2 yeah?

Customer - Yeah, Gear Metal Solid.

Joby - Can tell you now mate, Metal Gear Solid is only available currently on the Playstation 2.

Customer - Look, I read it in a magazine, Gear Metal Solid is available for the PC, can you just hop on back there and have a look.

(I hopped back to the storeroom, had a Dime bar and returned munching away'

Joby - Nope, sorry.

Customer - Did you even check?

Joby - Didn't need too.

Customer - Where is your manager?

Joby - (I muttered) Probably hiding from you.

Customer - Pardon.. excuse me?

Joby - I said 'I think he is on the loo'

Customer - I will wait down the front of the shop, can you tell him to come and talk to me, I wish to make a complaint.

Joby - Yeah, Microsoft are annoying.

(He walks and waits down the front of the shop, being young I really couldn't care, he should listen to me when I tell him its not out but he didn't. My manager comes out of the staff area door)

Joby - Its my lunchbreak now Neil, can I go?

Neil (manager) - Yeap, lemme check you.

(I get searched and leave the shop, making myself obviously seen by the customer)

Customer - Where are you going?

Joby - Mate, I don't work here, I just pretend to look important and I love this green shirt, you will find Gear Metal Solid in the basket at the back underneath the shop floor.

(I think he left).

I love my job. Yay!
