Tales From The Video Store...

I remember this one unfortunate time that a guy I happened to have a major "omg you're so dreamy i want to have your babies" crush on came into the store & returned a couple of dvds, but instead of just chucking them into the return slot he waited & handed them to me directly. I was so giddy & nervous (this guy was seriously cute, and after making small talk I started scanning them through to return them........

They were reasonably normal.... Until I got to the last two DVDs. A tranny porn, & an "older women" porn DVD..........................

Needless to say I didn't find him all that appealing next time he came in.

This movie was amazingly funny, honest, adorable, smart & about 4 other words I can't think of right now. When I first saw the title I rolled my eyes & waited for yet another overly mushy trailer about beautiful people dealing with "problems". Instead I saw this witty female comedy, & I was shocked. I couldn't wait to check out the film itself.



The beginning of the film opens up on what is one of the most awkward sex scenes with one of the most beautiful men on the face of this earth, Jon Hamm & the film only gets better from there. Chris O'Dowd who is (in my opinion) the sexiest man alive, hands down, is amazingly funny in this as is the rest of the cast, Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph & a special shout out to Melissa McCarthy who goes above & beyond in this film.

The only downside to this film, apart from one or two cringe worthy scenes is one very long vomit/diarrhoea scene which made me feel rather nauseous myself. And although they did it for laughs & to give the male audience something to look at. But if the movie didn't have it, or they had cut it out.... The film would have been a 5/5 for me. But with THAT scene in it, I can only give it a 4/5, even though I wish I could give it more.... but sadly, it just gave me a bit too much.

Im looking forward to seeing this on DVD as well, im really hoping for a butt-load of extras & deleted scenes.

So the 'Transformers' producer Don Murphy has inked a deal with Cartoon Network to develop a live-action 'Captain Planet' film. This 90's action hero who fought valiantly for the environment will be revamped for a new audience with a renewed focus on environmentalism & saving the planet from us gross trashtastic humans.

As THR explains "For anyone who may be unfamiliar with the show, it centered around five young "Planeteers" - each one more ethnically diverse and sassier than the next - who each control an elemental force: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Heart (because what fun is superpowers if you can't include a hefty social message, too?). When the sh** really hits the fan, however, the Planeteers join forces and summon the super-powered Captain Planet, green mullet and all."

"The messages of Captain Planet are even more relevant today... We feel this team can bring the world’s first eco-hero to life in a powerful motion picture that is not only pertinent but entertaining.” said Stuart Snyder, president of Turner Broadcasting System. Murphy added, “We are extremely excited about bringing the good Captain back to life. His adventures are known worldwide and he is recognized across generations. We expect to make a spectacular series of films with the amazing team at Cartoon Network.”

I have no words to describe this.... This..... Well this molestation of childhood memories..... Hollywood really has run out of ideas at this point....

The movie itself, is a pretty amazing film. Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) had taken a lot of time to draw the audience into the story and feel the frustration, self hatred, self loathing as well as the utter fucking boredom of being trapped in that little rock crevice.

And since the movie is at it's absolute core a one man show, James Franco's (Freaks & Geeks, Pineapple Express) performance helped to suck the audience in and make what could have been a really long boring movie about a guy and his pet rock into a pretty harrowing film. Although there is one questionable scene where Aron is jerking off and gets a little hands on with the boulder trapping his hand.... that kind of threw me for a second. And can I just say, out of all of Franco's work, this movie has really proven that he is an amazing actor, and not just some stoner pretty-boy. The movie gets a solid 5/5 from me.

However, I couldn't help but be annoyed by the film... Not for anything the director or actors did, but just because of the storyline in general. What fucking idiot doesn't leave a note, or tell someone where they are going!!!!! How bloody special-ed do you have to be for this not to cross your mind at some point?!

What Aron Ralston went through is borderline torture, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. But at the end of the day... it's his own bloody fault he was stuck out there for 5 days. If he had told someone where he was going... or left a note, then he would have been rescued after perhaps 48hours, and he would still be able to jerk off with both hands!

As much as I loved working in the video store there were some nights when it was so quiet you could hear people getting into arguments at the pizza show at the other end of the complex.

One such night me and my manager (an adorable woman who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent) were at work with nothing to do. I mean LITERALLY not a damn thing, all the mundane little chores like cleaning shelves and wiping down counters, fixing the porn room so it looked presentable.... All that stuff was done. So we were chatting and gossiping as women tend to do when we started comparing phones, this progresses to sharing funny txt jokes and pictures to finally my manager starts showing me these little porn clips she had on her phone (a friend had blue toothed them to her)and after laughing about them for a couple of minutes she decided it would be a great idea to blue tooth them to me lol!

I deleted them the next day but how bored do you have to be at work to start swapping porn with your manager???!!!

Don't let anyone fool you, the life a video store clerk is in no way glamorous, and this story proves it.

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.

One of the worst things about working in a video store would have to be the late fees.  And im pretty sure anyone who has hired from a video store would agree.

Trying to convince people to part with their cash to pay off their late fees is one thing, and was certainly something I was NEVER fond of doing.  But when people would come in and pay for an $8 movie with a $50 note, and then claim they have no $$$ to pay for their oh so expensive $3 late fee really hacked me off.  Seriously?!  It's one thing to lie to me, whatever that's your business.  But to think im an idiot?  Just because I look like one, doesn't mean I actually am lol. 

The video store I work in seems to have some of the most clueless members to EVER hire movies. These are some of their stories

Recap:  I like to call this particular customer Mr Chatty. He's about mid 20's, unemployed, lives alone, doesn't know many people in the area. His Dad lives about 2 hours drive down south from him, and his brother lives about an hours drive north. I found all this out, when he came in to sign up.... And he was in the store for less then 10 minutes.

In fact I know almost everything about this guy's personal life. Every Wednesday, without fail he shows up to pick out his 6 movies for the week. Apart from getting his food shopping once every 2 weeks or checking in with his WINZ case manager every 3 months, (Work and Income New Zealand, where the unemployed scam money off this great country of mine!). Talking to me seems to be one of the few times he gets proper human contact. So every Wednesday I would put on my biggest grin, and ask how Mr Chatty's week had been, and he'd chat away to me for almost a solid hour.

So when I started working at the other video store I stopped seeing Mr Chatty, thank goodness!  However!!!  About 3 months ago, guess who I ran into while I was at the mall doing some birthday shopping for a friend...... yep Mr Chatty *dramatic sigh* .  So what was meant to be a quick shopping expedition to grab a couple of birthday presents and a nice card, turned into a three hour talk marathon from hell!  

Over the course of 3 hours he pretty much told me EXACTLY how his life was going, from the last day he talked, up until that morning............... I have never been so damn bored in my entire LIFE!!  What he's been doing, who he's been sleeping with, what his Dad had been up to, the fact that he moved out of his Dads then moved back in, then moved to his brothers then got kicked out then shifted into a WINZ house but he hates his neighbours...............   AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! 

I DON'T CARE! Ok, it's bad enough sometimes when you accidentally bump into a customer that you serve at the store, occasionally it's ok, but most of the time you just don't know what to say to them "hey, nice to see you at the supermarket.... so how'd that tranny Asian porn you hired he other night work out for you?"..... NO, just no!  But this is just too damn much!  But in saying that I was very nice (well as nice as I can be anyway), and sat and listened to what Mr Chatty had to say, I smiled and nodded in the correct places, and managed to keep the "holy-crap-get-me-out-of-here" look off my face for most of the conversation I think.....

The video store I work in seems to have some of the most clueless members to EVER hire movies. These are some of their stories

Now I have worked in two *Video Stores* both in my little corner of Auckland, and both are the same franchise.  So when I transferred to the store I work in now, I honestly thought I had left Pervy Old Guy, or POG as I like to call him behind........ but alas, the other store closed down due to lack of awesome me being there (or because the business was losing money.... but im pretty sure it was lack of me) and POG started coming to my store again to hire movies.

He came in a couple of weeks ago and well....... it seems he has a new obsession, because he got nothing but Miley Cyrus movies out, we're talking everything from Hannah Montana to her new "grown up" movie 'The Last Song'.  I guess the Olsen Twins can now rest easy knowing he is no longer getting sweaty over their movies since he's moved on.   The guy still gives off this super strong molester vibe, and I wouldn't be surprised if he drove a very nondescript van with a sign on the side saying "Free Candy & Puppies, Inquire Within"

Had a pair of teenage girls get into an argument over the last Twilight dvd in our store....... They were bitching over who got to rent it..............

I...... Just....... No.

I wonder how the customers would react if I talked like a pirate for the whole night??

LoL I'm considering it.......

So I saw Salt before I saw Inception today, and despite Inception overshadowing it I still found Salt to be a really good movie.  It's nice to see a female action hero in something that isn't all about Boobies and Bums. 

You can see why they originally made this for Tom Cruise, it's clearly the beginnings of what they hope to be a Mission Impossible type franchise.  And I think with Jolie as the lead, it could be.  Now I know it hasn't made as much money as the studios hoped it would, but this is the kind of movie that will rent SO well when it comes onto DVD.  So really they have nothing to worry about.

It's a solid 3.5/5 for me.  

Twilight has forever changed the face of literature, after its violent beating and rape of the English language, it left the corpse to rot in a sticky puddle of its own blood and bitter tears. All subtlety is lost as it rips out the organs of plot, characterization, and basic grammar, leaving behind a hollow shell of a vapid romance that is both void of true emotions and common sense. Where Anne Rice left off with the mere neutering of Vampires as monsters, Meyers has gone and done a full gender reassignment.
As I said in a previous blog last year when Twilight came onto DVD I had a lot of insane rabid fangirls drooling all over our store begging to get their hands on a copy of Twilight, and this a full two months before it came onto DVD. Turns out, im having the same problems with New Moon

In New Zealand Twilight: New Moon comes out on the 14th of April, and again since it came into cinemas all those months ago I have had people coming in and requesting a DVD rental copy of New Moon because for some unknown reason customers seem to think if they see an ad for a movie on TV then they MUST be able to rent the movie RIGHT AWAY! Now those customers I can deal with, I've been working at this store for a couple years now so im use to it. But this guy................

We shall call him... yep HIM, Mr Sparkle. Mr Sparkle came into the store and happily asked for a copy of New Moon, I happily informed him that the DVD will be out on the 14th but if he was to check back in three days before the release date he could reserve a copy so he wouldn't miss out when it was released (a problem we had with the first one, not enough copies for all the customers who wanted it) so he huffed and got a bit annoyed that he couldn't get it right away and went off to think about things.

Now at this point I served a few more customers and hired out our last copy of Twilight to someone (it had been hiring really well since the dvd release date of New Moon, because people want to rewatch the first one before they see the second movie). Fast foward to an hour later and Mr Sparkle comes back in more annoyed then when he left and proceeds to spend 10 minutes telling me off for making him wait to see New Moon when he couldn simply download it but had decided "out of the goodness of his heart" to rent a copy from our store anyway. I give him my little speech about how I can't change the release date of a movie, and im very sorry about this (the entire time I have that fake shit eater grin plastered on my face that ANYONE who has ever worked in retail has for when a customer is driving them up the wall) it's after my little speech that he demands a copy of Twilight instead saying that "it will just have to bloody do then wont it!" Only problem.... I just rented our last copy out and nothing is due back until the next morning. So I tell him this and apologise once again............

And he starts getting all upset.......... to the point of tears................ Mr Sparkle, a full grown adult male........... was standing in my store, crying over his lack of sparkly vampire goodness........... At this point I can only think one thing........
God Damn Twilight!!!!!!!

Ok so for the three people who read my blog you'll remember that when Twilight first came out at the movies it was like this rabid frenzy at my video store, every time I worked I had some 12 year old girl begging to hire the movie, before it had even left the cinemas yet!!!

Thankfully twi-mania calmed down a hell of a lot once the damn movie went into our recent release section, I was no longer bombarded with images of a pale sickly Eddie Cullen and sour looking Bella Swan. It was bliss. But oh how im paying for it now!

I worked on Saturday and no less then 8 people came up and asked for the Twilight movie, because "ZOMG I must rewatch before I see NEW MOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Now we have 3 copies, and they were GONE like the week before New Moon came out and have been constantly hired out since, we get one in and it's rented within the hour. Now every single one of the people who asked for the Twilight movie got really snotty when we told them we didn't have it in stock, now snotty's fine, I can deal with bitchy 12 year olds.

But one woman in particular threw a complete fucking hissy fit because she and her daughter wanted to see it NOWWWW! Seriously? I have to deal with this crap all over again! And it's only going to get worse the closer New Moon gets to coming out on DVD. Which by the way i've had 2 people ask if they can pre hire a copy of New Moon..... uhm NO! I don't even know when it's coming out on DVD, but you can waste your cash at the movies and see it there! BYE NOW!

I hate Twi-hards! oh LORD how I loathe and detest them!

I found out last night that "Meet the Spartans" and "Disaster Movie" are two of our most rented films of 2008/2009 so far, followed by "Hannah Montana".

Lord, give me strength.

As if my last blog post wasn't stupid sad enough... This guy.... I have no words for this guy, in fact he is so stupid he doesn't even get a name. Naw fuck that, lets call him dumbarse shall we.

Dumbarse came into the store today and asked if we had any music DVDs, I showed him the limited supply we had left and went back to tidying up the store. Dumbarse picked his DVDs and came to the counter, and then asked the STUPIDIST QUESTION IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. "Will these play on my record player? Or do I need one of those new cd thingies" .........................................................................................................

TECHNOLOGY PEOPLE, USE IT!!!!! It's one thing not to know about dvd's, but to be only learning about cd's!!!! And this guy wasn't old, he looked like he was in his 40's. I then spent 20 mins explaining what cd's and dvd's were and why they were different. How can ANYONE not know about AT LEAST CD's!! I know New Zealand can be a tad backwards when it comes to technology, but not this backwards!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for a list of minor annoyances that bug me.

1) Don't bitch to me about how you can't pay your $5 late fee when you're getting $30 in overnight movies and you're paying with a $100 bill. Pay the overdue's you cheap bastard!

2) If you don't have correct I.D to sign up, no amount of grandstanding, whining, begging or eyebrow wiggling will get me to sign you up, I don't care how much you want to rent "Missionary Impossible" bring me something with a current home address and maybe we'll talk.

3) You CANNOT hire an R18 game if you are only 15, don't even try, I will slap you down faster then you can say "Grand Theft Auto". Also don't stand right in front of my till and beg for your older sibling to get it for you, I wont hire it to them now either, since it's still against the law because I know it's really for you.... works the same with smokes and booze too, if you don't believe me, go into you're local booze store and try it, see how far you get.

4) WE DO NOT SELL THE FOLLOWING: CONDOMS, SMOKES, LIGHTERS, KY JELLY, MILK, DELI MEATS (wtf really?!), ANY SORT OF BOOZE OR ADULT MAGAZINES. WE ARE A VIDEO STORE... But we don't sell video's either lol we only sell DVD's and junk food, just to confuse you.

5) I wont trade you a pair of earrings for a DVD, no $$ no DVD, and no I wont buy them from you "straight up yo, no lies!"

6) If you return something late don't bitch to me about it, the return times printed on the case, as well as the receipt, and the door of the store. And don't lie and say we were closed, it just makes you look like an ass.

7) STOP ASKING ABOUT FUCKING TWILIGHT Read the BIG ASS SIGN that says it comes out on the 22nd, and NO I won't just GIVE you a poster, you can buy one, but im not your "friend, homie, gurl, biatch, buddy, pal, or dudette", so I won't be giving you one for free. But just to piss you off you should know that I can get one for free if I want *insert childish mocking here*

8) Don't bring food or drink into my store, and don't bitch if I kick you out after I told you to leave your cola on the counter but you still bring it into the store and proceed to drop it on my floor. Fuck you, I have to clean that up.

9) I don't get paid to babysit your snotty brats, try and be a decent human being and keep an eye on your own kids. And if I tell you they might hurt themselves if they climb on the shelves, THEN you ignore me and they fall and DO hurt themselves. Dont bitch to me, I warned you, they are your problem, you keep the slimy thing safe, it's not my damn job.

10) Fuck every arsehole who leaves cum in the porn dvd's on purpose or otherwise. Have some manners and clean up after yourself! I hope you don't work in the food industry you nasty piece of work, because I bet you don't wash your hands after going to the toilet either. You are disgusting

It's been a while since I have had to blog about the stupidity that oozes through the doors of the video store where I work, but this guy......... well I thought he was worth mentioning, for the sake of privacy im going to call him Dave*, now please keep in mind, that when Dave* came in the first time he was, from what i could tell, drunk or had had a decent amount to drink, he smelled strongly of booze and was a little unsteady on his feet, also when he spoke he slurred a word or two.

Dave* came in and asked about becoming a member at *Video Store*, when I explained what he needed to join (photo id, proof of address etc etc) he decided it was too much effort to go back home just to get proof of address and his passport (his drivers license, as it turns out, had expired several months ago). So he decided to buy a couple of DVDs since he was really excited to use his new dvd player he had just bought at the supermarket across the road. It took him about 40 minutes but he eventually picked out 5 DVDs that he felt would be a great start to his collection. So I took the cases, popped the DVDs in put everything through the system, printed out all the necessary receipts and then handed him his brand spanking new movies. I then explained our return policy, all customers who buy a DVD with us have 14 days from the date of purchase to return the DVD for a replacement or refund, or if they are an ex rental to be resurfaced at no charge. We wont exchange anything if you "already have it", "don't like the movie", "decided you wanted something different" or have caused damage to it yourself, so bringing back a dvd all scratched up and expecting us to replace it, wont fly, and no matter what you MUST bring back the receipt, otherwise you're screwed. So he smiled, thanked me, and left.

20 minutes later he came back in with a puzzled expression on his face and asked "how do I get the disk out of the case?" Now I understand this is the first time he's had to deal with DVDs... but it's pretty fucking simple, you pop the button in the middle of the case and then gently remove the dvd, all our cases are like this. I explained this, and demonstrated it to him twice, he again smiled thanked me and left.

He then came back two more times within an hour to ask the SAME QUESTION. Both times I showed him, demonstrated it several more times, and even had him do it a couple of times. That was the last I saw of him for that night.

3 days later he came back, and tried to return the DVDs, it seems he had forgotten what I had taken SO LONG to teach him, and decided that the best thing to do was just to RIP the dvd from the case, snapping it in half in the process. When this didn't work he tried it again on all the other DVDs, getting the same result. So he decided that since the disks were now faulty he could exchange them for new ones, and "oh could you show me how to get them out of the case again". NO NO NO NO NO It took all my strength not to laugh him right out of the store, I explained that he did the damage and it's not our problem, I explained how to get the disks out of the case more then once and no one will be exchanging these for him. He grumbled and argued for a while then suddenly left. Over the course of the evening I get calls from 5 other *Video Stores* in the area, he tried to exchange the disks there and every time he failed he'd just move onto the next one.

No one gave him a refund or exchange. The moral of the story is, If You Are A Moron Then Owning A DVD Is NOT For You. I hate to imagine what he's done to his dvd player

 *Another Twilight post thats been backdated*

Twilight has forever changed the face of literature, after its violent beating and rape of the English language, it left the corpse to rot in a sticky puddle of its own blood and bitter tears. All subtlety is lost as it rips out the organs of plot, characterization, and basic grammar, leaving behind a hollow shell of a vapid romance that is both void of true emotions and common sense. Where Anne Rice left off with the mere neutering of Vampires as monsters, Meyers has gone and done a full gender reassignment.

Before the movie Twilight came out in New Zealand on Boxing day I had some real problems with idiot Twi-hards begging to know if they can rent a copy of the film..... even though it hadn't been released into the cinema in NZ let alone released as a dvd. Well the movie opened and the stream of stupidity dried up. And I was happy.

The stream of stupid has, sadly, reopened. Now I am once again bombarded with squeeing fangirls and guys demanding a dvd copy of Twilight, or failing that being able to preorder a copy. One thing though.............. We have no idea when it will be released as a dvd in New Zealand. We're lucky if we know two months in advance and even then release dates can change on a dime. So I am once again left with the duty of having to interact and speak with these kids (and yes they are usually tweenish kids) trying to explain that im not keeping their precious Eddie "sparkley boy" Cullen from them. We just don't know when he's popping out in dvd form. So sorry twi-hards, you'll just have to use your imaginations until the magic of dvd can transport Eddie "im so misunderstood and sparkley " Cullen into your dirty untidy bedrooms.

Another problem which has sadly popped up again is people who want to discuss why the books are the best thing since sliced bread. These aren't masterpieces!!!! They are pre teen vampire fantasy novels............ about SPARKLING BLOODY VAMPIRES!!!!!!!!!!

Now I have seen some strange things in my time as a video store clerk, but this.... oh this was just wrong with a hint of ROFLMAO.

There's a customer who comes into the store maybe, once a month and he's always nice and smiley, he seems to just be a happy person. He usually gets out New Releases and Porn which is cool with me, I don't judge. But he's never been ashamed about what he hires, he's always chatty and honestly it's nice when he comes in because I know that he's a good customer. It also helps that I think he's hot, but that's neither here nor there.

Anyway he brings up his dvd, a porn movie, and we start chatting away while I enter his account info, just asking how each others day was. Then he asks if I've finished at High School yet, which makes me laugh because im 21 and at University. I tell him this and we both giggle about it, and I get his movie ready. At this point he stops talking, just stares at me and asks what im doing later tonight, "because he'd love to act this movie out with me, (and this part he slows down the talking and stretches out the words) scene...... by........ scene".

What do I do................................................................... I laugh. I laugh until I have tears in my eyes. And to the customer's credit he doesn't get insulted he just laughs along with me, then once I'd stop laughing he says "well, I guessed that wouldn't work, but admit it, you think im adorable for trying right."

Yes. Yes I do think he's adorable for trying lol. We laugh some more and I give him the dvd, and he says goodnight and leaves.

............... I love this job sometimes, it brings the lolz.

*Warning, im super mean in this one, but after so much stress at work.... well I needed to vent*

Dear Customer,

You asked where Transformers was, in the rudest tone possible I might add. Please do not walk away while I am trying to explain to you where the dvd is located, only to come back in 5 minutes and complain that "you couldn't find it" and "you told me the wrong place to look". Actually good customer I didn't tell you anything, because you walked away while I was trying to speak to you in my happy smiley polite tone of voice that masks the fact that I wish to choke the life out of you. "Why?" you ask, would someone as semi normal and friendly as me want to strangle you and dance on your corpse?

Because you did this to me no less then 6 times in the span of two hours. And when i asked if you wanted me to show you where the dvd's were you waved me away like a servant girl, which last time I looked was not part of my job description. You also had the nerve to start muttering and bitching to your friend about how stupid I was and didn't know the store from my arse or elbow, even though i went out of my way to help you, well let me assure you good customer I have never tried to poop from my elbow, so im pretty sure I AT LEAST know where my arse is. Oh, you didn't realize I was behind you? Wow sir, you sure look worried, but fear not, I wont yell at you, im simply going to pretend I didn't hear you, smile and walk away.....

Edit: Also to the young man on Saturday afternoon who threw a tantrum and started swearing and calling me and my co worker names, JUST because we wouldn't take all your silver coins and give you a $20 back, Fuck you. This isn't a bank, in fact, the damn banks which are 2 shops down from us are STILL OPEN! Go get you $20 from them. You aren't a customer so we don't have to do shit for you, and we wont since when I told you in my nice smiley customer friendly voice that "im sorry we don't give or switch change" you walked off swearing, yelling, calling us both names and being the sad piece of gutter trash you were so clearly raised to be. Go die in a fire!

It is this sort of customer that can make working in customer service really hard. It took all my effort to still smile and be nice to the customers who walked in that night, and on Saturday afternoon. I don't mind cleaning up bodily fluids, or renting out porn to dirty old men or even cleaning up poop, but I hate it when people bad mouth my customer service skills just because they are too stupid to listen. I also hate it when people think just because i wont bend over backwards and lick their nuts it gives them the right to swear, yell and act like they were raised by retarded, crack baby, inbred, asshole hillbillies.
