A young guy from Saskatchewan moves to Vancouver and goes to a big 'everything under
one roof' department store looking for a job.
The Manager says, 'Do you have
any sales experience?'
The kid says 'Yeah. I was a
salesman back in Saskatchewan ..'
Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job.
'You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did.'
His first day on the job was rough, but he got through
it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down. How many customers
bought something from you today?
The kid says 'one'.
The boss says 'Just one? Our salespeople average 20 to
30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?'
The kid says $101,237.65'.
The boss says '$101,237.65? What the heck did you
sell?'
The kid says, 'First, I sold him a smallfish hook.
Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I
sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he
said down the coast, so I told him he was
going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat
department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't
think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive
department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition.'
The boss said 'A guy came in here to buy a fish hook
and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?'
The kid said 'No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons
for his wife', and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot. You should go fishing.'
