The vultures descend upon the aching carcass of the store like a pack of wolves

The phone is ringing off the f-ing hook today, now that we've finally anounced our GOB sale, which stands for "Going Out of Business," or more accurately, "Gather here, Oh' ye cheap Bastards." Now that everything is 30 - 50% off, everyone wants their cut. "I saw a ring there a year ago, and i didn't want it before, but I want it now that it's on sale.... But how come you're going out of business?"
