Today was a bad day.

A) I had to tell a known jewelry thief that we were not taking his stuff any longer. This is a guy I bought gold in for five times in the last three weeks.

I lied and told him I didn't know why, but his account was locked, and the only boss who knows why is on vacation. He seemed obviously sad that he could not do business, and not at all ponderous about why. The cops are hot on your tail dude and this is your wake-up call. Last week they came in and already had your name and the five other places you pawn, including some places far away. Your ass should be burning red hot about now.

B) In the last half hour, a crazy racist woman came in. Entirely negative the entire time. Pitched a thorough fit that we were not giving her what she wanted for her Nintendo DSi. Threatened us with legal action. Ranted and raved for a good five minutes. Walked in and out of the store several times. Wanted to do the deal and then didn't. Made unreasonable demands at top volume. Finally when she walked in the fourth time, wanting to do the deal, the old man came out and said "TD that lady." It means Turn Down. We informed her that we were no longer interested in her DSi.

At that point her crazy fever went up to 12 for another full minute and we wondered if we would have to call the cops in order to get her to leave. Finally she walked out for good.

I really hope I can capture some of the audio of this shit. It's unbelievable.
