Paul J Posted March 23, 2012 Share #181 Â Posted March 23, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I said and meant two at a time... Â Actually you said three. So what's going on? And two? at at time? are we talking customers or women? Wow, you're amazing. I don't know how you kept up with the pressure particularly when all your customers were so clueless. At least you had your extensive knowledge to get you through right? Thing is most people call this a job. Most people can do two or three things at once and not need some kind of validation for it. I think you'll find there are a lot of people here who actually do a lot more at once and wouldn't even think to mention it. Â Now run along you're running out of time before dinner and it's going to take you a while to decide which loaf to buy...oh the pressure, I can't take it!

Guest Ornello Posted March 23, 2012 Share #182  Posted March 23, 2012 You politely explain to the second one that you are dealing with another customer and would they mind waiting until you're free, or if a colleague is free you ask the customer if they'd be happy to talk to them instead. What you don't try and do is deal with both customers at the same time.  Oh, I meant how many cameras to have out.  I remember one day in January 1975, it was a Saturday morning, customers three deep all along the counter. It was unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted March 23, 2012 Share #184 Â Posted March 23, 2012 life in the fast lane eh? forget fighter pilots. 3 people deep, I'm telling you that's where the action is! Back in 75 there were customers 3 deep I had to hit them off one at a time with one choice only. No wingman AND maning the phones as well. Â Number 2 Sales man I was. I bet you couldn't do it!

Peter H Posted March 23, 2012 Share #186 Â Posted March 23, 2012 Ornello, you're doing you're single-handed best to challenge my conviction that "Americans don't get irony" is just an ignorant generalisation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted March 23, 2012 Share #188 Â Posted March 23, 2012 yeah, it was supposed to be a recession at that time, but you'd never know it! Â No I wouldn't. It's not like we're in the second one in 4 years now at all. Or the 80's. Or the .com crash of the 90's. What I need is you manning the phones, my man. Rock Solid. That's gonna be a game changer.
