I used to work at Sports Authority when I was in High school. I was the lead sales guy in the Out Door section so I was manning the Gun counter and up walks This giant Samoan guy. Turns out it's the ROCK. He was in the store about to take a middle school paint balling. We had the shittiest prices on paintball guns, $450 for a rainmaker, $299 for a spyder (if you know paintball you'll recognize the guns suck and the prices were even worse !) so I referred him to my buddy's paintball store and told him to go there and get a hefty 25% discount over the shit prices we had at Sports Authority. He looked so relieved that I didn't try to fuck him over and sell him the store. He thanked me, shook my hand and asked me for my name.
I was fired the next day when the regional manager found out I'd sent 25-35 paintball gun sales out the door at a cost of about $300 each.

Two weeks later I received a thank you card and a signed Autograph from the Rock, it was waiting for me at the Store when I went to pick up my last check. Nice guy !
