Joe was appointed as a salesperson at a local store.
During one of his shifts, a customer approached him and asked whether they had ‘Peach Jam’; he replied, “Out of stock.”
At this, the lady immediately turned to leave the shop in disgust.
It was then that the shopkeeper, who had been looking on, called Joe aside and told him, “When a customer asks for a product that is out of stock, you apologize for its unavailability, and then offer other types of the same product. For instance, in this case, it was peach jam; offer other types of jam like pineapple jam, guava, apricot jam, and so on.”
Next, came in another lady who asked for toilet paper, and Joe politely replied, “I am sorry, ma’am, we do not have any toilet paper right now, but you could try some Carbon Paper or Sand Paper!”

Two salesmen were going door to door, and knocked on the door of a woman who was not happy to see them.
She told them in certain terms that she did not want to hear their offer and slammed the door in their faces.
To her surprise, however, the door did not close and, in fact, bounced back open.
She tried again, really put her back into it, and slammed the door again with the same result — the door bounced back open.
Convinced, these rude people were sticking their foot in the door, she reared back to give it a slam that would teach them a lesson, when one of them said:
“Ma’am, before you do that again, you need to move your cat.”

A little old Texas lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.
“Good morning,” said the young man, “If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners, straight from California.”
“Go away!” said the old lady, “I haven’t got any money to spend on things like that!” and she proceeded to close the door.
Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open.
“Don’t be too hasty!” he said. “At least wait until you’ve seen my demonstration.”
And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.
“If this vacuum cleaner doesn’t remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder, cross my heart.”
The old lady stepped back and said, “Wait here while I go get a spoon. I hope you’ve got a darn good appetite, because they cut off my electricity this morning.”
