Kinda funny story from a GNC employee

ShawnNWF · 01-Mar-05, 11:29 AM

My friend works at a GNC here in my hometown and is usually a very sweet and helpful employee. The other day a woman came in and asked her a few questions about some products and got very beligerant at the answers my friend had for her.

Friend: Welcome to GNC. How can I help you?
Customer: Hello, I need a pill to help me lose weight.
Friend: OK, well we have a few supplements that could help you. Are you on any diet or excersize plan currently?
Customer: Oh no! I just want one of the pills that makes you lose weight no matter what you eat or do.
Friend: So you don't want to excersize or diet?
Customer: No! *giving her a stupid look, too*
Friend: Oh, then I can't help you.

Then the woman proceeds to get very ugly and wants a manager. It just amazes me that people believe there is a magic pill you can take to shed all of your fat.

If that pill was available, there would be no fat people.

Everyone wants the path of least resistance. They want to eat all the crap they want to eat, lay around as much as possible and yet still look and feel good.

Lazy people drive me f***ing nuts.

They drive me nuts too. But I can't be too critical of them, because a little over a year ago, I was the same way. I had tried every diet pill / crash diet available. I am glad I finnaly wised up

I am interested in what the manager had to say?

Perhaps if more people would dish out that simple advice ("there is no anti-fat pill"), more people would get the message that they need to exercise and watch what they eat. But then again, perhaps not.

A buddy of mine owns a deli and I had stopped by once.
This is a true story. This lady comes in and orders 2 huge sandwiches, 2 slices of pizza, a milk shake, a salad with ham and cheese. and light sallad dressing on the side.
While my buddy is taking the order he asks if it's to stay or to go. She tells him it's to stay. This lady is going to eat this all herself.
My buddy always says what's on his mind. So he unloads on her. This is what you are ordering and putting into your boddy? She says Yes. This is all for you? Yes again. He tells her .....
You fat pig You want all this crap and then you ask for LIGHT sallad dressing like that will make a differance!! I didn't stick around to see the fireworks.

The lady ended up storming out. The manager is a guy that works out at my gym (huge dude, so jealous). She got the the truthful answer, but didn't like it

That is good to hear. Alot of managers would tell them what they want to hear (usually a bunch of junk) just to make a sale.

As Cort said, nothing wrong with wanting an easy way.
If u can make life easier why not??

The problem is, people are stupid. She wants a magic pill and is under the belief it exists, and is annoyed when it isnt given to her. Stupid ****
