A young man from Minnesota moves to Florida and goes to a big box store looking for a job.
The manager asks, “Do you have any sales experience?”
The kid says, “Yes. I was a salesman in Minnesota.”
The manager likes the boy and gives him the job. “You start tomorrow. I’ll come back after closing and see how you’re doing.”
His first day on the job was tough, but he got through it. After the store closed, the boss came in. “How many customers bought from you today?”
The boy said, “One.”
The boss said, “Only one? Our salesmen get an average of 20 to 30 customers a day. How much did you sell?”
The boy says, “$110,500.00.”
The boss says, “$110,500.00? What did you sell?”
The boy says, “First I sold him a small fishing hook, then I sold him a medium fishing rod, then I sold him a large fishing rod, then I sold him a new fishing rod.
The boy continued: “Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said he was going to the beach, so I told him he needed a boat, so we went to the boat department and I sold him a Chris Craft with a twin engine. Then he said his Honda Civic wouldn’t tow him, so I took him to the automotive department and sold him a 4×4 Expedition.
The boss said, “A man came in to buy fishing rods and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?”
The kid said, “No, the guy came in to buy a bumper for his wife and I said…”
“Dude, your weekend sucks, you should go fishing.”
