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 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 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.' ↓
