More great advice from the clowns @ GNC...
I just made a quick run to the GNC, usually don't shop there but I was completely outta creatine.
I remembered why I dodn't go there much.
I walk in, no one in the store but a 140 kid at the register.
140lber - "What brings you to GNC today?"
me - "Killing time."
I walk over to the creatine, looking for the smallest quantity I can find.
140lber - "Creatine is great for energy"
Me - silent
140lber - approaching me "Do you have a gold card sir?"
me - Turn around and make direct eye contact "No thanks."
Old women walks in. Thank God.
140lber to old women - "What brings you to GNC?"
Woman - "My knees hurt. I've read about something called Glucose for your joints. I think thats how you pronounce it. Or maybe glucosomine?"
140lber - "I recommend calcium."
me - hidden from their view - ":lol:"
women - "I take calcium, and it's in my Centrum. Isn't that for your bones?'
140lber - "yes, but it probably your bones that are hurting. This will make them stronger."
Me - with my back to them - ":lol:"
140lber - "BTW, I have something garanteed to be 5 times better than Centrum. It's right over here"
Me - "Mam, I overheard your conversation. I think your right about glucosomine (sp?). I've also read that MSM is good.
Women to 140lber - "I'll just take some Glocosomine.
I go to check out - 140lber -"do you have agold card sir?"
me - "No thanks"
140lber - "You save 15% the first..."
Me - "not interested, thank you."
140lber - "It's only $15, and you.."
Me - "Nope."
140lber - "Would you like to know how much you would save on this purchase with a gold card?"
me - "I...DON'T...WANT...A FUKIN.. GOLD CARD. IF I DID I WOULD ASK YOU FOR ONE. DO YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING?"
I think the poor guy pissed his pants. He never looked up and his hands were shaking when he took my money.
Look, I know he was just doing his job, but jeez, like 4 times I was very clear I didn't want the danm thing. Up till then I was polite, but made it clear with my tone and words that I didn't want it.
I gotta admit that his exchange with the old women was almost worth the trouble. :wg:
