So one of our local Blockbusters is closing and my mom and I decided to stop by while running errands. I manage to pick up some of my fav vamp/zombie/werewolf movies cheap as well as some other stuff. While looking at the horror flicks, I happen to overhear this little gem:
SC: we know
Clerk: awesome clerk
Me:
SC: "So why can't I rent this movie?" (He's got some action flick in his hand, waving it around)
Clerk: "Because this location is going out of business. We won't be here after 3 days"
SC: "But I want to rent this movie!!!"
Clerk: "Sir, you can buy it for $2.00. It's 80% off the sticker price."
SC: "But I want to rent it to see if I like it first!"
This goes on for a couple of minutes before I step out of the horror section.
Me: (to the SC) "So you're basically saying that you'd rather pay a higher rate to borrow the movie than to own it for the rest of your life?"
SC: "I didn't ask you. Besides, you don't work here."
Me: (to SC) "Fine, whatever" (to Clerk) "So I need your help figuring out what the prices are on these movies since I'm actually BUYing something" (emphasis done while glaring at SC)
So the clerk came over and we discussed which horror flicks were so bad they were funny and which were decent. He's a pretty awesome clerk and has seen me in there before so he knew I was just giving him an out from that SC. I think the SC actually ended up buying the movie after all though.
