You know.....Staples

I got a call today from a "dutchified sounding" gentleman. He wanted something from our office supply section that we couldn't order.

I recommended he check at Staples..

Caller: where?
Me: Staples

Caller: how do you spell that?
Me: S...T...A...P...L...E...S

Caller: that's how it's in the phone book
Me: yes...Staples in Eph

caller: okay, thanks

I'm mean....we're talking about

Easy button, red building...office supply mecca??

It's interesting running into people who have not heard about what I would consider modern-day normal stuff.

In other news, we have a guy locally who is trying to claim that because he was Amish (he's not), he didn't understand the bank rules for depositing money (depositing under 10,000 each time at 10 different banks, amounting to $541,000). Yet somehow he knew that if it was under 10,000, the bank wouldn't have to file paperwork on the transaction. This is also the guy who we (the store) had to get a restraining order against, because he would steal product, return it for gift certificates, hoping to get some unsuspecting cashier to give him cash.

Apparently he would even peddle his bike to Souderton, about 1.5 hours away, and work his system there as well as the local stores.

but anyways...I mean...Staples.....S-T-A-P-L-E-S....you know...
