The last couple of days it's been pretty busy at the store. Most of the traffic was Super Bowl shopping. Sunday afternoon about 4pm the traffic died off and it became fairly dead on the sales floor.
There's quite a few disappointed Bears fans on the sales crew. I told them the Colts would win. Why? Because it was too much of a money machine for the odds makers. Chicago went in with a lot of money riding on them, and they did good for awhile, but my hunch told me the tide of the game would shift, right about the time everyone's bets were solid around the world. Sure enough, the Colts came from behind and whomped 'em. Ka-ching. I could hear the sound of money changing hands all across the world.
All weekend long we've had to deal with people coming in to buy our clearance furniture. With items that were sold out, people got on their hands and knees and begged us to sell them the displays, which we can't because of liability policy. They would beg us to call every store between here and B.F.E. to find some stupid footstool or things like that.
I'm thinking to myself, "all this for a bunch of cheap, particle board crap made in God-knows-what-slave-labor-country? Here's an idea people: save your money, buy some REAL furniture at an actual furniture store downtown, leave us alone and get a freakin' life, ya cheapskates...."
