Welcome to Gaia! ::

Customer wastes your time by seeming very interested for most of the morning, asking about every single product on sale, going through tests and examples and ultimately saying they will "come back tomorrow" as they leave.

Dressed in a given uniform, Vin looked like all the other service workers though his tag said greeter and not tech, nerd, or expert. Any professional title was not stated which was good considering he knew nothing aside from what was given to him on the pamphlets about the items listed and what was recently released. His sole job was to answer what he could and point to things that might interest people which seemed to be everything. As he stood, a brushy-haired woman came in and asked for his help, and nervously he started walking down each and every item. He was not sure what she wanted as she seemed to want everything as a gift for her boyfriend. What he thought would be a few minutes turned out into a whole tour of every object in the shop, and he read the descriptions and looked up answers from the packets available for clients - which the woman did not want to take or read. By the end of his shift, she didn't decide on anything and said she would just ask her dad.

Cor was not hugely fond of this job, but we all have to start somewhere and he had things he wished to buy for his family. Including his little girl's own hPhone. He just felt so constricted in a dress shirt and tie and constantly had to stop what he was doing to adjust his tie so it didn't feel like it was choking him, nor hang so low as to look unprofessional.

He felt less silly when distracted by customers and one appeared to be coming in the store and making a line straight for him.



All excitement from a prospective sale drained from Cor's face as the man kept droning on and on and on about how much better his mDroid was. Eventually, a thought occurred to Cor and he held a hand up to silence the man.

"How can you possibly say one is better than the other when you have never experienced an hPhone?" Before the man could drum up another argument, Cor held his hand up again. "Put your money where your mouth is; your opinion is moot if you have not actually experienced an hPhone. It is a way of life, after all." The man was turning a strange color as he struggled to argue with that. "But I can understand if you can't afford an hPhone and simply are limited to..." he made an 'eh' sound. "...mDroids."

Backed in a corner now, the man wanted to buy an hPhone just to show Cor up.



All seemed calm again for a time until a customer came in who was particularly difficult. Mostly in part because they did not know what they wanted and most certainly felt as though they did not need anything. Cor tried everything he could think of and then suddenly Tyr stopped by.

After that, Cor only needed to merely suggest and the customer wanted it on their tab. They spent the entire time staring at Tyr. They didn't even seem to register the massive price tag they were quoted at the register...

This was probably the best sale he's made all year. Tyr should show up more often.
