"Hi, remember me, I hired porn out to you on the weekend..."
12:14 AM
One of the most utterly awkward things about working in a video store would have to be meeting customers outside of working hours. Now don't get me wrong, despite having some of the most amazingly funny and generally wicked customers when I worked at the video store, there are always a couple you simply dread bumping into when you are out and about shopping.
One customer bump-in in particular was a gentleman who had gone on a porn renting bonanza the previous weekend. Now he had hired a stack of new releases, a goooood $50 worth of all different and slightly odd types of porn (you can never say that my video store wasn't diverse) and had brought them back late the next day, so he got fines for each dvd. Unlike many customers he paid the fines without a fuss and even made a bit of small talk. However.....
What the fuck do you say to the guy when you bump into him at the local mall?!?! Which is exactly what happened to me. He came up to me while I was shopping and asked me where we knew each other from..... and he was not best pleased when I refreshed his memory of how... exactly... we knew each other. I managed to stumble my way through an embarrassing conversation with this guy while he sort of mumbled and looked at his shoes turning an ever increasing shade of red.............................
Not one of my better shopping trips, although I did giggle about it for about 10 minutes after he left. Poor bugger.

- 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!!
