  • This sucks. Change it.

    Today I noticed that all the TVs in electronics now play this DVD sent down by corporate in which two "employees" discuss various kinds of HDTVs and explain how to choose the one that's best for you.

    It also touts the benefits of our colossal waste of money extended protection plan.

    The DVD is played over and over on a continuous loop. Previously the TVs showed the satellite channel chosen by whoever was working back in electronics that day.

    This is a sad day. Covering breaks in electronics standing around watching TV was one of the things that made my job barely tolerable.
    Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

          I used to work at Blockbusters, and the one mandatory clip that we were sent that drove me up the wall was for "The Perfect Storm" - some sort of lame chant like

          "This is an excellent boat"
          "With an excellent skipper"
          "and an excellent crew"

          gaah where does hollywood get its lines from?

          So we used to occasionally slip our favourite film on, but decided to be more circumspect about it when, during our latest choice, every employee everywhere in the store simultaneously started singing along with "Shut your f-ing face, uncle f-er"

          funnily enough, several of the customers happily joined in too.

            I would have. I love that movie. Brilliant statement on censorship, made by a movie the censors pee themselves over.
