Do you have what it takes to sell? Kevin, a 19 year old college student, is home for summer break. In   order to make a few extra bucks he decides that he is going to apply   for a part time job at the local K-Mart.   Kevin fills out the standard application and is called into the   manager's office. The manager is the typical K-Mart employee   skinny, glasses, pocket protector and K-Mart clothes.? Also, he takes   a little too much pride in working at K-Mart. He says, "Kevin, do you   think you have what it takes to work at the 'Big K'?"   Kevin laughs to himself, thinking "what an asshole!" But since it was   an interview he responded, "Absolutely."   The Manager continued, "In order to work here you need to be a   salesman and you need to be in touch with the customer. Do you think   you've got those qualities?"   Again, Kevin laughs to himself, "Is this fucking guy serious?" but he   says again, "Absolutely."   "Well let me show you how it's done,"says the manager.   The manager leads Kevin to a counter and waits for a customer. The   first guy to come along drops a 50 pound bag of grass seed on the   counter. The manager says, "That's a pretty big bag of grass seed ya got there."   "Yup," responds the customer.   The manager winks at Kevin and says, "Ya think you might need a new   lawn mower for that grass you're putting down?"   Kevin actually sees the light bulb go off over the customer's head.   "Yeah! That's a great idea."The manager leads him back to the lawn   mowers and helps him pick out a really nice model.   "Ya see, Kev, that's how it's done.? Ya think you can do that?"   "Hell, yeah!" says Kevin, "Just watch."   Kevin steps up to the counter and the next man to come along drops a   huge package of tampons onto the counter. Kevin looks at the box and   then at the embarrassed customer. "That's a pretty big box of tampons   ya got there," says Kevin.   The embarrassed man looks up feebly and says, "Yup."   A moment of silence passes and then Kevin blurts out, "Would you be   interested in buying a new lawnmower?"   The customer looks up from his shoes and responds, "What the fuck   would I want a lawnmower for?"   Kevin winks at his manager and says, "Well, since you won't be getting   laid this weekend I figured you might want to mow your fucking lawn!"
