Refused service at the BORG

[Jon McElwain]

So I'm in my local BORG looking at some door knobs etc. etc. with the LOML the other day. I wandered over to the tool isle for a few minutes while she is making the final decisions. I went back to find her and she was gone. An employee asked if he could help me find anything, so I relied, "yes, my wife." Then he flat refused. "I don't think I can help you with that sir," he said.

The nerve...

Although I would have been upset too, some might not be, they may be able to use that as a marketing ploy. Shop with us and lose your wife...

If they do...I'd advise them to be careful about advertising it.

[Jonathan Spool]

He must of thought you said " Yes, a wife"

Wow, I never heard of a snowbird going to Colorado for the winter.

Maybe in divorce journal?

Hmmm........ that fellow sure wasn't too smart, or he would have seen a great opportunity for a little CS promotion, "IF" he would have said, " Sir, would you like me to PAGE her and ask her to meet you here"?
Note: I didn't think of this, but it actually happened to me in a large store once, and I was both shocked AND impressed. (maybe he only did it because I was kinda limping along with my walking cane)

Hmm..mine won't get more than 25 feet from me any place that tools/lumber are sold.

Many years ago when I worked at the Borg the same thing happened to me so I just paged the man's wife's name over the intercome and told her to meet him up front no big deal really. The fun thing is when they loose kids no one is allowed out of the store until the kid is found.

My wife has the annoying habit of being able to disappear almost instantly in a store...any store. I can stop for just an instant to inspect something more closely and when I look up, she's gone!

After walking a couple of miles around the store looking for her, she suddenly reappears like she had been there all along. It's eerie.

Thats when I get to use my cell phone. "Where the BLEEP are you and don't BLEEPIN move." Works sometimes.

First thing I do is check to make sure I have the car keys... jk

Tricks I learned from my Grandpa, it's easier to find the hot dog cart then it is to ind the wife.

Mine lakes the garden center, thats a good place to start.

That answer has to be one of those things the employee's joke about.

I gotta believe that they post on a wall in the employee's area, who's been
given that answer the most. They probably even have a weekly pool for the
winner.

I know I've given that answer on many occasions and "I can't help you" is
the common answer.

[Joe Angrisani]

And I thought they joked about the guy who knows the boss' birthday.....
