ive never worked in a hockey shop, but one of my buddies does and hes told me some hilarious stories, one that is worthy of gracing this thread this was back before the RBK 9K0 was released. Some 16 year old kid proceeded to call the shop EVERYDAY asking the same question: "oh hey do u guys have any 9k0's in stock?" "i heard u guys have the 9k0's in stock, what curves do you have in?" "my friend just bought a 9k0 from you guys and i was wondering if you have any left" my buddies response every time was "no they dont come out till the season starts"...that is untill the final time the kid called where he totally called him out: "any left hand 9k0's in stock?" "wait..didnt you call here yesterday, and the day before?" "...uhhh...maybe like 3 days ago" "yea its you! ive told you 40 fuckin times they dont come out till september. why do you have to tie up our phone line everyday asking the same stupid question? WE DONT HAVE ANY YET. dont call here again" 2 days later i called the shop and asked him if they had any 9k0s in stock. He was about to blow a fuse before i told him it was me.
