When Did My Store Become A Bathroom/ Trashcan/ Babysitting Service????
11:24 PM
1) It's a rule that you cannot eat or drink in the store, so if I tell a customer they cannot bring their food/ drink/ beer (really wtf!!) into the store i usually get one of three responses.
A: "oops, sure i'll just finish this outside and then i'll come back in, sorry about that etc etc.
B: What?! Where does it say that? F*$k off Bitch *mumble mumble bitch mumble*. At this point they usually leave mumbling about how im evil devil spawn because I wouldn't let them drip subway juice around my beautiful store I just cleaned. And the one that really surprised me.......
C: What did you say to me????????!!!! *insert angry face here* F&*K YOU *Slams remainder of food/drink/beer onto floor* Have fun cleaning that up! What really annoys me is when customers are finishing off a drink or food and i don't catch them bringing it into the store, instead of asking me to throw their food/ drink scraps out they just leave it in the store on a shelf for me to find! I'd hate to see how they treat their houses if this is how they treat my store!
2) When groups of children, sometimes as young as 3 years old just rock on into my store and are throwing dvds being loud, messing up my shelves and being soooo annoying as only children can be, for anywhere from 5 mins up to an hour. Then Mum/Dad/Auntie/whoever strolls on in and yells "OI KIDS HURRY UP" and then strolls out with their devilspawn in tow. WTF? Im not a babysitter, this has happened when parents go into the post shop, bank, pet store, any of these things can take anywhere from 5 mins to an hour. Im so tempted to start charging these parents, how much is the rate for babysiters now?
3) Now number 2 directly affects 3, because this has happened twice in the store now, where a couple of kids will be left in our store, and they need to go to the toilet, but there are no parents around to ask, so they just go in the store. Yep I'll repeat that, these kids will just go to the toilet in the store....................... Twice now we've had kids poop in the store, and instead of telling the staff, they just walk away and leave it for us to find! G.R.O.S.S!!!!! Now if a kid pees, it's not such a big deal, all that requires is a mop and hot water with an array of disinfectants, nice smelling soaps and my trusty "CAUTION WET" signs. Poop however, is a different matter alltogether!
I feel much better for that little complaning session.....

- I love movies, and for over 5 years I worked at a video store somewhere in the depths of Auckland so I could be close to my precious movies & rent those bitches for free! However, I have since moved on. But even after moving on from the store I still have a load of video store stories of crazy customers and random happenings to talk about!!
