I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: Sock/No!)

Danny is wearing his convention center snack bar uniform when The Merchant sends him to Equestria.

Only through the powers of customer service can he defeat Spoiled Rich.


Thanks to Damaged, Mockingbirb, Samey90, and HiddenMaster for brainstorming and VikingZX for insight into convention center guests (on a scale of bad to worse).

Tails. Giant fuzzy purple tails.

This story changed my life!

I never thought i'd become a fan of Displaced stories, but now I understand what all the fuss is about.
:twilightsmile: :moustache: :rainbowlaugh:

Good for Diamond! Also love a good Displaced parody, wrote one myself a while ago.

As someone who works a customer facing job I thank my lucky Alicorn stars that I have never had to deal with someone like Mrs.Rich Née Milk.

Canonically I would not be one bit surprised if she gave DT some form of punishment for her blatant disobedience and back-talk in the election episode. I'm also convinced that she only loves Mr. Rich for the money. Should Barnyard Bargains have a financial crisis or collapse she'd be out of town before you can say "Sweet Celestia on a Cake Binge". I can definitely see her conditionally caring for DT, that being when she wins, or otherwise makes useful decisions.


Her behavior in this story reminds me of a comic on Deviantart.com that paints a rather different picture of Twilight Sparkle's family, and not in a good way.

I have grown to loathe merchant stories, but this is gold for anyone who’s worked retail hell. Giving Diamond a chance to shine was icing on the cake. Great job!

Always nice to see another writer join the roster of those of us who have dared to mock "displaced" stories.

Always a trip when the crack-fic veers sharply into the feels.

No one was more surprised than me.

I recently mocked "Bismarck displaced." It was now time to mock "con merchant displaced."

Thanks!

Diamond does tend to do that. She'll rise magnificently to the occasion, but only under real pressure. A, diamond in the rough, if you will.

pressure makes diamonds, etc., etc.?

(I remember junior year thermodynamics, the final exam question was to calculate the Gibbs free energy change of the graphite==>diamond transition at some particular temperature and pressure.)

Every customer service agent's dream.

You really did hit the zone with this one, in case you thought you were exaggerating or joking.

Thanks for sharing this here.

This was surprisingly a heck of a lot more entertaining that I thought it would be. Good job.

This is idiotic and I love it

Yea. But you get the powers of a super Manger. So you can go around and punish bad customers. I can see him going across the world saving worker's smiles.

Unexpectedly lovely stuff. Always nice to see a shitfic turn into fertilizer for a more sincere idea. Thank you for it.

Oh God, please tell me you're turning this into a series.

"Hey, buddy," hissed the merchant. "Wanna see something?"

"I have some really neat merch." She blinked. "What are you dressed as?"

Danny raised an eyebrow. "A snack bar cashier."

"What manga is that?" the merchant asked.

"It's called 'IRL.' You... probably haven't heard of it."

That must be the dumbest merchant I've ever read about.

Can I use her?

That rant was absolutely God tier. Absolutely fantastic.

I would love to read more! It could be a new begining, just like the story of border control Anon! It has the potential!!

Hehehehe fun little read, thanks mate!
