A store manager overheard a clerk saying to a customer, "No,
ma'am, we
haven't had any for quite some time now, and it doesn't look as
if
we'll be getting any more."
Alarmed by what was being said, the manager rushed over to the
customer
who was walking out the door and said, "That isn't true, ma'am.
Of
course, we'll have some soon. In fact, I personally placed an order
for
them just a couple of days ago."
Then the manager drew the clerk aside and growled, "Never,
never,
never, never say we don't have something. If we don't have it, say
we
ordered it and it's on its way. Now, what was it she asked if
we had
any?"
"Poisonous spiders in the fruit department."
