"What's a CB radio?". I couldn't believe my ears. I showed
it to her in the sale flier. She said, "OK...", and then started
running all over the store, looking for it. She finally returned and
told us, "We don't have any".
Absolutely unbelievable. How do they stay in business?


By selling new technology and gadgets, not 40 year old stuff. :-)

Seriously, there can't be too many people looking for CB radios these
days. I didn't even know you could still buy them new.

same thing happened to me, the other day i went into a well known book
store, and asked for
a copy of "Passport To World band Radio" - i got served by this young 16
year old student who was lucky if she could even spell "Passport To World
band Radio"

Anyway she spent about 10 minutes running around the shop looking for the
book, then
said "whats it called again?" - so again i told her "Passport To World Band
Radio" - she
turns around and says "mm.. i think it might be in the radio section of the
store room.."
came back another 10 minutes later - "you have to order it in" - fine i had
no problem with
that - she taps in a few things on the computer and says "right Passport to
world band radio 2001"
i explain to her i want the latest one.. she looks at me with a dull look on
her face and says
"mmm well.. why dont you just get the 2001 version - it cant be that much
different" -
needless to say i took my cash somewhere else

LOL its almost like they do it on purpose, still it killed about 20 minutes
or so.

Thanx
