well i think i need a new motor. i wanna return this one

you just need to richen it up. thers not enough fuel in it!

well this engine is suppsoed to be good for everything

im telling you a couple of things. one, i wont allow you to return that motor. the other thing is that i wont allow you to return that motor. reason being?

you said it twice

no kidding... you cant return something as soon as a drop of fuel gets into the engine

well thers not a drop in it. i ran a gallon in it then i got rid of the fuel in it

wait, youre telling my that theres not been a drop in it, but uve ran a gallon in it?

yeah but i mean theres not a drop in it right now, so its basically new

at this point i just let the manager handle him, when he left the store and his back was to me, guess what i saw.....a huge aluma q pro with the audiobahn streak saing "audiobahn IS SPL"

figures..

 
I work at a hobby shop too!!! i've heard and delt with some crazy people...

example...face to face contact no phone

yeah, i want something big!

gas powered or electric?

well, which one is faster?

gas

then i want gas

ok, well let me show you some of our 1/10 and 1/8 scale monster trucks

whatever, give me the biggest most expensive one you have

so I gave him the Team Associated Monster GT and all the perphierals he needed. I told him specifically that the break in period of the engine was critical. he said yeah, ok. you could tell he didnt understand.

the next day he comes in and claims nothing works. I asked him what he "might" have done to break it, and he said nothing. so I open up the reciever and it is wet. i went back to him and said "sorry sir, but i cant help you, it appears that there is water damage". he got loud and threatened me to return the truck. being that his five year old daughter was with him, i looked at her and said...

Hi sweetheart, whats your name

Chelsea

Chelsea, how old are you

Five

Thats nice, what did daddy do to his new toy

He drove it into our pool

Now that i was extremely satisfied, i looked at the man as he scolded his daughter. he immediately left the store with his truck. some people amuse me some times
