NC Tony's Retail Slave Wish List 2011

After all the positive feedback I got from last year's list, I decided to make another one for this year. I promised it, so here it is, the Retail Slaves Wish List 2011. This is by no means a complete list, so let me know what I may have forgotten.

Baby pictures: For those of you who don't (yet)/don't want to have children, you can now have wallet sized pictures of adorable babies to carry around. Why? For the next entitled idiot that threatens to get you fired!

Crusty: I don't like the way I was treated, I want to talk to your supervisor. I'm going to get you fired.

You (pulling out baby pictures): Could you do me a favor?

Crusty: What?

You (showing her pictures of adorable babies): Could you explain to my son(s)/daughter(s) [insert appropriate guilt trip such as baby needs an operation, why they won't be getting any presents this birthday/Christmas, basic needs like food and shelter]?

Those of you with children simply need to carry around pictures of your kids when they were babies, even if they are old enough to have jobs and families themselves. If you look too old to have young children simply refer to the angel faced cherubs in the pictures as your grandchildren. Available in boys and girls (mix and match for multiple children to heap on the guilt).

Fake smile: Does your face hurt from having to paste on a fake smile for every entitled asshole that comes through your line? Are you sick and tired of having to grin and bear it when some dickhead yells and screams at you for upholding company policy? Does your jaw ache from having to smile while some fuckface tears into you because you can't do the impossible? Now simply wear a fake smile over your own grimace of anger while your eyes convey all the hate necessary. Available in all skin tones for men and women.

Spawn B-Gone: Hate screaming, unruly children? Of course you do! Now with Spawn-B-Gone you don't have to deal with them. Developed by scientists, Spawn-B-Gone is a odorless gas that flows through the vents into the store and harmlessly puts small children (newborn-toddlers) to sleep. Older children (4 and up) will feel lethargic and listless, and less likely to get into shit. The effects wear off as soon as the children are out in the parking lot. Note: Spawn B-Gone does not actually make small children disappear.

Trash magnet: So there you are cleaning up, and you find an empty Starbucks cup stuck on a shelf. There's a garbage can five feet away. Ever wish you could find the responsible party? The trash magnet (an odorless spray that coats the customers clothes when they enter the store) will force their own trash to stick to their clothes unless it's deposited in an appropriate trash receptacle.

1,001 Ways To Get Revenge: This is more for your coworkers and managers who are out to get you, or prefer to throw you under the bus to save their own ass. 1,001 sneaky, devious, underhanded ways to get revenge on them that can never be tracked back to you. From simple things like keying their car, to kidnapping their pets for ransom. Also going to extreme measures like putting them on the mailing list for the Westboro Baptist Church or hiring an ex-con to rob their house while they're at work. Also available: 1,001 Ways To Get Revenge: Corporate Edition.

Burger Bitch's Big Book of Insults: Tired of calling someone an asshole or a stupid bitch? Let RHU's experts in new curse words give you the arsenal to unleash as soon as Fuckneck McCockknuckle's back is turned. Let that dicktooth know exactly what you think of them, even if you can't say it to their face. Also good for the coworkers described above.

How to Be Condescending and Get Away With It: Along with the Big Book of Insults, this book gives you scathing ways to tell customers and asshole coworkers to fuck off and die without actually saying "Fuck off and die". Now you can let customers and idiot coworkers know exactly how you feel about them without getting in trouble for it. Now you can insult customers intelligence, upbringing, education level, and even their looks right to their face without them being any the wiser that they've been insulted. Special index: 20 ways to flip someone off right in front of their face. Includes the old favorites of scratching your face, adjusting your glasses, and new sneakier techniques of careful hand adjustment so that your middle finger is always pointed at the customer (but not so they'd notice).

Closing Time Stun Doors: It's two minutes to close, and here comes some asshole who decided to wait until the last minute to come shopping. They promise to be "real quick" but you know that "real quick" turns into you staying a half hour past closing time. Well now, anywhere between ten and two minutes to close the doors go into stun gun mode. With all the voltage of a police tazer, anyone waiting until the last minute to come in "real quick" will get a real quick jolt of 50,000 volts (customers exiting will not be affected). Can also be adjusted to stun anyone other than an employee trying to get in before the store officially opens.

Trapdoors at closed registers: Don't you hate it when your register is closed and some brain dead cockslap comes up and dumps their shit on your register despite the CLOSED sign? Well a simple push of a button will render your line closed again as a trapdoor opens under their feet. For those of you who don't want to hurt anyone, the space under the trapdoor can be equipped with a mattress, and an escape staircase that lets out in the parking lot.

Coffee Call-Back: Hate it when coffee customers yell at you for screwing up their orders, when it's their fault because they weren't specific? Now with Coffee Call-Back you can nip this annoying problem in the bud. Coffee Call-Back records the customer's order, and will play it back as soon as the customer complains that you screwed up their order. The crusty then has two choices: take the drink that they ordered, or pay half the cost of the drink to have it remade. Deluxe model comes with video playback.

Hounds: So you've made the announcement that your store is closing in 15, 10, 5 minutes. The Stun Doors have kept out the riffraff, and now the store is closed. Final announcement; "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now closed, please take your final purchases to the nearest register or we will release the hounds. Thank you for shopping at The Big Fancy." Hounds will be trained only to chase but not attack custys unless they're provoked. Hounds will also be trained not to attack retail slaves.

Baseball bat clue-by-fours: Now there's no need to carry around a unwieldy piece of wood. All new clue-by-fours have been turned into easy to carry baseball bats. Still with the same ability to knock sense into even the dumbest customer.

Real life censor/mute: Tired of customers calling you a stupid asshole or (even worse) a dumb cunt? Well with the real life censor their insults get turned into grade school insults that make them sound stupid. How funny would it be to hear "stupid asshole" turned into "stupid airnose"? "I can't fucking believe how fucking stupid and incompetent you are" becomes, "I can't fudgecicle believe how Frosted Flakes stupid and inclockable you are... wait, what the french toast did I just say?" For those more severe insults (being called a cunt, or having your race or sexual orientation insulted) the real life censor simply bleeps out the words. Can also be adjusted to mute the crustys voice altogether.

So there you have it thirteen brand new items that if they existed would make our lives so much easier.

I am not going to say what everyone else has already said, but I do want to comment on your knowledge of the topic.
You are truly well-informed. I can’t believe how much of this I just wasn’t aware of.

If that insult book was real, I would buy a copy for myself and all of my friends. We would make entire games out of using the insults.

[Mcarp555]

Oh God, Tony, I want the Terry & Burger Bitch Big Book of Insults. I also want a BB doll that talks when you pull the string in back (if you dare). And a clue-by-four!

[Cherry IScream]

Every restaurant and cafe in the world needs a Coffee Call Back. It must be done.

[elly]

There is such a thing as a Big Book of Insults--Regretsy made up one!

[ScanGunMonkey]

Oh my God...where do I order??? EVERYTHING I WANT EVERYTHING. In doubles, probably...I could dual-wield clue-by-fours.

[LabRat]

I think you have just given me an awesome idea to pass along to the engineering students. they have created the craziest things when they get bored. I'll let you know how the electrified doors with employee sentience comes along.

Great list! I can't think of anything half as witty, but I could use something that voids returns for NATs, people bringing back stuff they got sale and what to return for full price, and for people bring back stuff that is used and decades pass the return date.

[Timekeeper's Twit]

This was so worth the wait! I especially need the insult book!

[NC Tony]

@LabRat: Carbon dating for returns maybe? As for the returns, maybe the AI cash registers from last years list can help with people wanting to get back full price on returns that they got on sale.

[Humor_Me]

I volunteer to train the hounds! >: - D

[Beatles4Life]

I really want that Spawn-b-gone.

[Su Chan]

I think the best solution to last-minute custies is to have the checkout system automatically shut down one minute after closing time, governed by a central clock.

"Sorry, I can't sell you anything, but do please leave your basket here. You can pick it up tomorrow if you like."

[SammyKat]

Awesome list, Tony! Oh how I wish these things could be real.

[Joe the Cigar Guy]

Get me the 55-gallon drum of Spawn-B-Gone! I had a mother put her tantrum-thrower on my wrapstand yesterday. Junior had a full diaper; my sinuses haven't recovered.

[Mcarp555]

Joe! Back in the salt mines? Please post a status report. We miss the dance...

[Green Grin]

If I had a signed copy of Terry Everton and Burger Bitch's Big Book of Insults I would squeal louder than a preteen twihard.

Trash magnets need to apply to staff too. I hate cleaning the break room because it seems that some of my coworkers have mistaken me for their mother. Some asshat left an apple core on the break room table last week. Who knows where their mouth has been?

[Burger Bitch]

I want ALL the things! <33

Also, I'd totally be willing to make a Big Book of Insults.

[NC Tony]

Hell, BB, all we have to do is go through the archives of all your posts and we could have half the book done *snaps fingers* like that!

[Minidoc]

I think everyone who reads this blog would buy the book of insults. I would in a heartbeat!

[ScanGunMonkey]

:D I'd pony up the cash for such a book. It would make me happy.

[twiztidlette]

can you put me down for the fake smile, 1001 ways to get revenge, trash magnet, and the how to be condescending,please? these will help me immensely <3
