Case of the Mondays got you down? Well, we here at ZubazPants.com have just the remedy to help you kick those blahs. As past members of the Champs Sports/Foot Locker family, we dabbled in quite a bit of shenanigans in our college days. Here, every Monday, we’ll share a prank we pulled that you could do right in your cubicle!

Alright, this week’s “Fun With Foot Locker” was one of my personal favorites while working at Champs Sports up at college in Buffalo. I was the employee in this situation, but it’s an easy one to spin around with a prank call.

During my tenure at Champs, Nike’s Air Force Ones were all the rage. It was ridiculous. We would open the store at 6 a.m. on Saturdays for the new releases and folks would be lined up outside waiting to get their hands on a pair of “Crispys.” Don’t ask.

This also meant COUNTLESS calls inquiring if we had the new Ones in color combination X, Y or Z. I started to lose my mind a bit due to the relentless nature of the calls, so sometimes if a caller asked if we had the new “Blue and white joints,” I’d say, “No, but we have these sick ones that are mud brown and pewter” or something equally heinous. This generally led to five seconds of silence followed by a dial tone.

But the best was the time I replied, “No, we don’t have those in but we get the hot new Sam Cassell joints in this morning. They’re purple and green like Milwaukee’s colors and they have a picture of his face on the front of the shoe. Amazing stuff I tell you, old chap.”

I could literally see the disgust on the caller’s face when he said, “Naw, man … NAW!” and hung up. Ahhh, good times.

So, in your case, just call up and ask for the Sam Cassell’s. If the employee says no, ask for the manager and keep the charade going as long as possible. DEMAND the new Cassells.
