A Lame Lie
Well, it was really a boring day till this joker came into my shop. Here's what happened...
(This guy came into the shop and pondered over the counter.)Me: Hi. Anything I can help you with?
Him: Oh, give me 4 packs of Dissension. I want to choose.
(I took 4 packs of Dissension out of the box...)Him: Give me the whole box to choose.
Me: I'm sorry...I can allow you to choose in fours.
Him: Give me the box...it's okay...I'm not choosing for foils.
(My mind went blank for a while....)Me: I'm sorry. It's my company's practice to allow you to only choose in fours...
(The guy went off before I can finish my sentence...)For some people who might "catch no ball", in a standard pack of Magic the Gathering trading card, there's a rare chance you will get a foil card. Unless you know the technique to "feel" or choose, you are much getting random cards on pure luck. A foil card is either powerful, useful or valuable. There are a few techniques to choose for foils like pressing or rubbing the aluminum packing against the cards sealed inside. And it's my company's practice to sell them off in this way as being fair to others and also prevent people from shoplifting.
The joke is that since the cards are random....what's the need to choose when all the cards are random. He's just lying through his teeth that he's not choosing for foils when he is. After he left, my colleague and I were laughing our heads off. That sure lightens up the tension for today. LOL.
Finally, another off day for me. Tuseday. Maybe it's time to sing. Or else join them in DoTA?
