The Saskatchewan farm boy

 

 

A young farm boy from Saskatchewan moved to Vancouver Island and went to a huge "everything under one roof department store" looking for a job.

 

The Manager says, 'Do you have any sales experience?'

 

The kid says, 'Yeah. I was a salesman back in Saskatchewan.'

 

Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job.

'You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did.'

 

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down.

'How many customers bought something from you today?'

 

The kid says 'one'.

 

The boss says, 'Just one? Our salespeople average 20 to 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?'

 

The kid says, '$101,237.65.'

 

The boss says, '$101,237.65! What the heck did you sell?'

 

The kid says, 'First, I sold him a small fishhook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Ford Expedition.'

 

The boss said, 'You mean to tell me that a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?'

 

The Saskatchewan farm boy said, 'No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot -- you should go fishing!'

An oldie - but a goodie!

A lot of people don't know that the kid you mentioned was a born salesman. Before working at that store he worked in a drug store back in Saskatchewan, and an elderly customer came in one day complaining of a bad cough. They were an exceptionally small store in an exceptionally small town and had run out of their meager supply, so the manager offered to drive to a larger town and procure some. When he returned he asked the lad where the customer had gone. "Oh, I fixed him up boss, he said he couldn't wait so I sold him an ex-lax chocolate bar." The manager looked puzzled and said "ex-lax isn't meant for coughs!" The kid smiled and replied "Well I made him eat the whole bar boss, now take a look at him. He's over the road there hanging on to that lamp post and he's too afraid to cough!"
