This pretty much describes every customer we have, except for about 1% of them. I shall show this to my co-workers and my boss tomorrow and they will enjoy it.

hahaha. One of the funniest videos that describe what I think when I'm listening to custimers in a bike shop.

rbreish (Oct 14, 2011 at 21:41)

Its been an option at times. Its unbelievable how stupid some people are!!

gnarbar (Nov 29, 2011 at 18:29)

Ya those "custimers" pay an illiterate dickhead's wage, bless 'em

i know dude like seriously, i saw a guy walk into the shop when i was looking for grips one day, he had an Iphone 4S, and both of his sons had iphones also. he asked the clerk "whats most affordable in the shop for casual riding?" (while staring at his screen and talking to the salesman at the same time) when there was a 24" road hybrid on sale for 300 bucks right in front of him! (afterwards he complained about bad service becuase "no one was listening to him") he even asked for the manager. SHEESH!

i work at a shop and theres always this kind of person. not to this extent but its painful.

dirtmonkey1 (May 3, 2011 at 21:39)

VOD nuff said

ShastaOutdoorMedia (Dec 13, 2011 at 22:22)

But then again, some people just don't care to have a "nice" bike. Why spend $400 on something you'll only ride once a month and not give two shits about when you could get it for $100 at Walmart? Sometimes people think that because they are into something, someone else is equally as interested.

thecarpy (May 3, 2011 at 21:01)

YES....you did it!!!! faved!

aaronaaron (May 6, 2011 at 20:25)

iangmtbhelsinki (Nov 1, 2012 at 12:33)

pretty much describes every customer that comes to the shop and asks for fukkin cyclocross bikes because "their friend has one" and "they say they really like it"........idiots!

dillpicle (May 3, 2011 at 21:15)

If sales are this hard for you, it means you're doing it wrong. Dont ask the customer what they want. "do you want a mountain hybrid or orad bike?" Why are you asking the customer what bike they want? Shouldnt you tell them convincingly enough for them to start throwing money at you with complete trust? lol Ask them questions about the riding they intend to do. Ask about where, how often, for what purpose, how much money, and with who? If they ride with friends, sell them a similar but better bike than their friends. Easy. Otherwise, you have to figure it out for yourself what they need. The more bikes you show them that they dont like; the more you are losing at the game. Ask them what their favorite color is if you have to. It aint rocket science. Pinkbike.... Go figure.

recklessness (May 4, 2011 at 4:57)

You have completely failed to see the humor in this. Thanks for the sales lesson champ, we are all better having read this. Multi-million dollar bike sales, here we come!! LOL, get real dude. Your life must be humorless and crappy. Way to take a video too seriously.

Rattsl (May 4, 2011 at 6:28)

Seriously, it was for a comedic relief. It had to get to the point pretty quick. It's also just a cartoon. Dang.

willy94 (May 3, 2011 at 21:03)

why do they have a french accent?

Rattsl (May 3, 2011 at 21:05)

They do? Oh well.

Dirt-Street-Park (May 3, 2011 at 21:05)

Pretty sure they don't.

pdee (May 3, 2011 at 22:07)

nah they don't just how the computer makes it sound.

slickback (May 5, 2011 at 2:25)

That is absolutely correct. I dont see the humor in this video. I see no humor what so ever. Im sorry. Reading or hearing about how a noob sales kid struggles with the AVERAGE customer is... well, kinda sad. Though I dont find humor in the video, it was my hope that a response like yours (recklessness) would come up that made me want to comment in the first place. It was hilarious! Thanks for making my visit to pinkbike worthwhile. Trollololol!!

seraph (May 5, 2011 at 14:55)

Do you work at a bike shop? If you don't work at a shop you may not see the humor in this video. Just be warned.

slickback (May 6, 2011 at 2:14) (Below Threshold)

Is it really that much of a surprise to you that I dont find humor in this and i DO work at a shop?

seraph (May 6, 2011 at 2:28)

You must be a peach to work with.

slickback (May 6, 2011 at 17:56) (Below Threshold)

Just imagine this alternate reality of a bike shop where me and the guys I work with are laughing about guys like you. Im actually a blast to work with! lol!

seraph (May 6, 2011 at 18:17)

I've probably been working in bike shops longer than you've been riding. Every person I've worked with over the years would find this humorous.

recklessness (May 8, 2011 at 5:54)

Yo, brokeback, do you know what the reply button is? I couldn't help but notice that you are stupid and pretentious.

slickback (May 8, 2011 at 23:48) (Below Threshold)

Seraph, if I wanted to make my own assumptions about you, I would start with the forearm tattoo profile picture. Is it a good conversation starter here on pinkbike? Or does it somehow embody WHO YOU ARE? Hmmm, could there possibly be more to this 27 year old bike shop dude than meets the eye? wait, no. Probably not. Just another shop rat. And Reckless, how am I stupid? Might it be because I dont wear a flat bill hat like you do when I ride?

recklessness (May 9, 2011 at 6:20)

I would assume that if simple tasks are beyond you, that you are just another shit talking clown. Thanks for proving me right through your pretentious nonsense babble. It's neat how you look at my pictures and assume that you know me. Way to further prove your ignorance champ. LOL. You are a joke. So what reputable shop do you work for? I would assume that it's filled with gold plated bikes and diamond encrusted saddles and exists in fantasy land based on the bullshit you have told us.

NorCalNomad (May 16, 2011 at 19:26)

lol slickback y u mad? Even if you're nice and good at helping customers there is always that dumb ass who can't figure his shit out. And don't be hating on seraph
