Much to my amazement. First day on the job, never been a salesman before, first customer, and I sell him a pop-up trailer, which means a $1,000 commission for me. Sales manager said he’s never seen anyone sell to their very first customer…ever. Go me!
Congrats!!! 
Do you get a set of steak knives?
Sadly, no. But the lack of perks is offset by the 12-hour days and obnoxious assholesoopscustomers that come in.
Bah! Beginner’s Luck!
Well, I hope not, but somebody’s got to give you a hard time or else you’ll get all over-confident and stuff. 
Hooray! Congratulations! Enjoy your victory.
It’s because you hang out here–you’re all full of worldly knowledge and junk, and that makes you interesting in person. People buy based on emotion and then justify the purchase to themselves later with reason. Your breadth of knowledge makes you easy to talk to and puts the customer at ease. In the absence of negative emotions, you are regarded on an unconscious level with trust and the customer felt free to act on his emotion–his desire to improve his life by investing in the pop-up.
And you owe it all to being addicted to The Dope.
Well done, Chefguy (even IF anything with “popup” in its name wounds less than wonderful.
Congrats on the job Chefguy!. Glad to hear you got the job! Keep up the good work, and sell sell sell!

Great work. Hope the success continues.
Great job! But, in commission sales, you are unemployed if you are not in front of a customer. Get back to work!
I hope it is not just beginner’s luck with you, and that you make a whole bunch of money. It can be the most fun way to make a living it you like people. Congratulations!
if dammit!
Way to go Chefguy!
What’s a popup trailer, and why do I want one?
You didn’t take a sale away from a guy named Gil, did you?
In related news, some pushy salesman nearly broke my arm twisting it to get me to buy a pop-up trailer. I was terrified. And he smelt so bad, I just bought it to get him to go away.
Did he originally come in just to buy a box of tampons?
Hey, uh, Chefguy? I’m a little short on dough right now. A little cash flow problem. Can I borrow about $1000 just 'till Friday?
You sell asshole soops and pop-up trailers? What the hell kinda store you working in?
That’s it. No popup trailer for you!
