Well i guess i will get this going!
I have a very funny Black Friday story.
I worked retail for about 10 years, and let me tell you, Black Fridays are no fun, everyone has to work it, and the people are unbelievable!
About 7 years ago i was working the dreaded day, and this was the same year that a movie called “Jingle all the way” came out. Starring Arnold schwaxnaggar and Sinbad. Its about two dads trying to find the perfect present for thier son. A TurboMan….a super hero all the kinds love. Very funny movie and all the antics that go with two dads trying to one up each other.
Now this is important to my story for this reason.
On Black Friday, i am working the toy section of the store, when this man comes up to me, he was about 35 yrs old and he was frantic. He was shopping for his son, and needed to find a certain doll, but could not remember the same of it. So i asked him to describe it to me, because i had two boys, and i might know the toy. So he starts describing this super hero doll , silver and red, has a jet pack, and was in the Movie Jingle all the way!!!! loll…
So i looked at him and said, “Turbo Man”???? and he got soooo happy, he is like “yes, yes yes. Turbo man!!..Please tell me you have one!!
I about peeded myself..lol….i looked at this poor man and said…”Turbo Man is not REAL!!!…Its was just a doll in the movie!!!!” lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll
He looked at me dumbstruck, and started to laugh, and thought what an idiot he must look like, but i toldhim, no you just look like a dad who has a young son, who saw a superhero and thought it was real, and wants santa to bring it to him…The best thing i could do was bring him over to the Power Ranger Dolls and see if those would do! lolll
After wards, i thought about what i should of said to really make this funny. I could of told that poor man….
“No i am sorry we are all out of TurboMan, But if you run down to the mall, they had one left and it may still be there”lollllllllllllllll.. [ just like the movie] lollll
