Me: Babe, bring me a beer on your way back from the kitchen.

Wife: Beer isn't good for you. It's making you fat.

Me: Babe, do you know the difference between beer and your opinion?

Wife: No. What?

Me: I asked for the beer.

I developed my Drug Habit when my Maw was working two jobs to keep the Family (5 kids) together. My Father bought a Buick and chased a Blond.

I'm so happy that on any days @92 she'll forgive me with that ever-present gleam in her eye.

April Fools prank gone very wrong, she got the last laugh

This is a true story. The manager thought it would be a funny prank.
She sued and won.

Reminds me of the old blond joke where she was gluing two strategic parts on a Tickle Me Elmo.

The boss comes in and screams "What are you doing? I said give him two test tickles!"

When something is almost unbelievable, I like to verify it. True, true, true. She worked at Hooters and sold the most beer.

You Asked for It, You Got It … Toy Yoda: Practical Jokes, Prizes, and Contract Law

Abstract
For what seemed to be a simple contract dispute, Berry v. Gulf Coast Wings Inc. garnered an unusual amount of attention in both the legal and popular press. Former Hooters waitress Jodee Berry sued her ex-employer for breaching its promise to award a new Toyota to the winner of an April 2001 sales contest. Berry alleged that her manager, Jared Blair, told the waitresses at the Hooters where she worked at the time that whoever sold the most beer at each participating location during April 2001 would be entered in a drawing, the winner of which would receive a new Toyota. As the contest progressed, Blair allegedly told the waitresses that he did not know whether the winner would receive a Toyota car, truck, or van, but that she would have to pay any registration fees on the vehicle. In early May, Blair informed Berry that she had won the contest. He proceeded to blindfold her and lead her to the restaurant's parking lot. Waiting for her there was not a Toyota car, truck, or van, but a doll of the character Yoda from the Star Wars movies - a “toy Yoda.” Blair laughed. Berry did not. Berry sued for breach of contract and fraud. Hooters answered that Blair was only joking. While the case eventually settled favorably for Berry, it raised three interesting questions of contract law that merit further discussion, namely: (1) whether Blair's statement was clearly in jest, such that it could not be accepted by Berry's performance; (2) whether Blair's statement, even if not clearly in jest, constituted an offer to form a contract that could be accepted by Berry's performance; and (3) whether Berry gave sufficient consideration to bind Hooters to the terms of Blair's offer.

This denial of assistance is reasonable.

Is the retail outlet layout for the convivence of the customer?
Is the sales representative a non stop talker?
Do they have what you are in the market for, or is the sales rep
high pressuring you focusing on their highest profit item?
Are items relocated each time you visit the outlet?

I find that a well organized layout and brief sales contact preferable.
Why would a store refer to a customer as an idiot?
It would seem the store manager is the idiot.
