his legend must be told

[tensaineko]

i just heard from a friend of mine the most awe inspiring story of a customer getting whats coming to them.

an overnight clerk at a sister store of her gas station was settling in for a long quiet night when a customer comes up and asks for 2 cases of parliament cigarettes, clerk goes to the cig cage, brings up the requested items and rings them up, at hearing the total the customer snatches the cigs and runs for the door. but do not fear for are noble clerk was a quick draw with the deadlock button, sealing all exit doors. cig man does not know this until he runs headlong into the shatter-proof glass and ends up with his sorry ass sprawled on the floor (I'm sure there was a lovely face print too ). customer then picks himself and the cigs up and sulks back to the counter, looks up pitifully and appoligises to the god-clerk, only to get chastised with an amazing "thats right, you don't take whats not yours"

i do not know what happened to the thief after that, i think he paid for them and was left to lick his wounds, i want the security tape of that though

I think there should be a race in the Olympics in the category of cat-like reflexes. Your friend would win, I think.

I love stories where "customers" are owned by their own suckiness.

That security tape would be hilarious to see.

Hmm....did said friend get the story from someone named "Aaron", by any chance? Many of his stories from way back on CS involved sealing the exit doors *heh*

Holy hell, I want doors like that in our store!!

We'd burn 'em out from use though....

I'd pay to see that.

In the immortal words of The Simpsons' Nelson Muntz, "HA ha!"

Holy hell, I want doors like that in our store!!

Don't we all...I can think of a few situations where doors like that would have come in very, very handy!

Couldn't you submit a tape like that to Cops, Maximum Exposure or even America's Funniest Videos? That'd probably win some awards!

I'd go for World's Wildest Police Videos . . . they have great footage of would-be criminals getting owned. And I would love to see this myself!

I want to see! I want to see!!!!
