How to get what you want in a retail store.....

usualy my goal was to be as big of an ******* as i could... the only exception was if the person was sincerly nice then i would bend over backwards for them because i had all the manager codes (which my manager gave me...) i wouldve probably just told him we were out and then sent him on his way. maybe let him get another copy of troy but ask him if he thought i was ****ing stupid if he tried to get a different movie.

the people that really drove me up the ****ing wall were the ones that brought movies from another ****ing store, sometimes even in a completely different stores bag, example a video from hollywood video in a bag from hastings to a blockbuster. i'd just take the movies and play the game where you try to throw them and knock other movies off the shelf. (we did that alot with the aol sampler disks we were supposed to give out)

LMAO, I went in Blockbuster to get a movie and some guy comes in with Troy. He tells the guy working there that it's scrathced and won't play, the guy tells him to grab another copy, and he replies with 'I want to get another movie, I don't want to risk it happening again'. The guy at the counter just said ok and he got another movie. I'd tell the guy to get Troy and have a nice day.

When people bring in scratched movies, we usually just have to clean it for them. People will bring the DVD in covered in sticky *** finger prints and wonder why it doesn't play.

The funniest thing was when this one guy brought in the copy of Office Space he had rented. At the very start of the DVD, a little pop-up window comes up and says something about "Click ok to start virus scan". The viewer hits enter and the screen fills up with warning boxes that say "VIRUS DETECTED!". Well the guy thought his DVD player was seriously running a virus scan. We played the disc on our DVD, and when it started popping up the warning box he yelled, "Now your player is also infected!" The manager and I started bursting out laughing and the guy just left the store looking like he was about to cry.

how about the people that ask you how a movie is? i dont know how many people did that too me with passion of the christ. I'd say one of many things.

"Well i was gonna watch it but my friend told me how it ends"

"its great, have you seen the alternate endings?"

or my favorite, just lean over the counter get real close to them, and in a quiet voice say, "i hear he dies in the end."

You should tell them that Jesus gets into a fierce battle with Emilio Estevez in the end.

People have tried to pull crap like this with me. We have workorders that we fill out before we start working on a car, and have the customer sign it after it's filled out.

When I pull in a car I check over everything and comment accordingly. I've had a few people try to tell me that I blew a speaker and flip out, and I'll pull out the workorder, show them where I commented on it that such and such speaker was blown prior to installation, and tell them to have a nice day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

that is why I loved working in chicago for a while. If a customer was gonna be a *****, I would tell them to **** off and they would just leave. No asking for my name, corperate's number or anything. Where I am at now though, that would just lead to trouble...
