Today, I got yelled at by my boss for being insensitive to a customer. I'd told her I never heard of the requested item even existing. She walked off shouting, screaming and throwing stuff from the shelf. She wanted to order a bird feeder with heated perches so the bird's feet won't get cold. FML

So now you know there's a market for something as crazy as that. But before you start designing prototypes and investing time bringing this to the market, you have to think 4th dimensionally... The great Steve Jobs didn't just get people to buy his overpriced products. He got them to buy the same overpriced product every year! Why make your money once, when you could make it annually? Now that's thinking like a boss!

Introducing the iPhone 4s. It's like the iPhone 4 except you can talk to it. Genius.

Yes, I believe Steve said something similar to that right before he ascended into the iCloud.

1. You deserved it for not being poliet enough to explain that your shop doesn't have it and your suppliers don't provide it, so that you are sorry, but you can to help her. This is advice from someone who worked in shop. 2. You SOOOO deserve it, for thinking that something doesn't exist just because you don't know about it. I just googled it and yes, you can find them online for about $35. She overreacted, I agree, but I would be pissed if some ignorant sales person would try to explain me that something I asked dosen't exist if I know it does. I would personally explain to them that it exist and that they are ignorants, but I wouldn't involve manager.

OP didnt say it flat out didn't exist, only that s/he didn't KNOW of its existance. Also, rudeness wasn't implied. Some customers are just phychos, no matter how polite you are.

You miss, sound like a complete and utter bitch. It's not ignorance if a sales person doesn't know if a product does or does not exist, if they don't sell it at their store why should they know about it.

Also, the word is not "poliet" it is polite. Before you jump someone's ass for being rude, please remember to spell things right.

Poorjudgement, you sound like a asshole. You're one of those people who overanalize the fml, and find ways to blame the op. I worked at a restaurant weeks ago (i quit), I get shit from customers like this when a food product is not avaliable anymore. It's not the op's fault in anyway, you overanalized the fml and posted utter bullshite. *******...

Birds can't feel their feet, it's a freakin stupid idea.

45, birds are warm blooded. It's freakin stupid to think they couldn't benefit from heat they soak up from their feet. Lots of birds perch on one foot and draw the other close to their chest to keep warm.

23/88, your ignorant for not knowing the meaning of ignorant and having to look it up. Also your a moron for repeatedly commenting on one comment, especially when no one is paying attention to you. Meaning of moron: a person that does something over and over with no change in results.

KaySL, there's one thing worse then a troll and it's a troll that uses texting language. Btw, how do you get Internet under that little bridge of yours?

I LOVE HOW YOU GET MAD AT HIM FOR NOT KNOWING IT EXISTED... BUT YOU HAD TO LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE TO KNOW... HMM and I know that was in all caps. I just figured I was making a really good point.
