Employee of the month
A young guy from Wisconsin moves to Florida 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 Wisconsin.
Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the
job. 'You start tomorrow. I'll come d own 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 sales people 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 small fish 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.'
