Emo kids vs. three angry Store Workers.

[Hon'ya-chan]

So our store got one of the Naruto Manga Box Sets. For an amazing $189.99, you get 27 volumes enclosed in a nice display wooden shelf, with 3 volumes one month before the release (Volumes 25-27), and other goodies......


.....well, we had one. That is, after this emo kid took the box from a display near the registers, proceeded with his buddies to some seats, and proceeded to open it.

LP, the SM, and I were not amused.

I would have made him pay for it

[Gravekeeper]

I would have beaten him *with* it. Then made him pay for it.

Wait, since when did emo kids like Naruto?

[bainsidhe]

I think I've read similar situations in previous threads? People open stuff, drop, break, and even eat stuff before paying or, heck, without paying. They don't get billed, they don't even get the evil death glare of LP. They simply get away with it.

Still. Being that this was WILLFUL destruction. I agree with GraveKeeper.

[Jacen]

Then made him pay for it.

Would he really be *able* to pay or even look at you when you were done?

[Gravekeeper]

Would he really be *able* to pay or even look at you when you were done?

Probably not. So I'd have to dig his wallet out of those roof tarp like pants of his and finish the transaction on his behalf.

Must be 'cause of Sasuke and Gaara. They're both just filled with so much teen angst, don't ya know.

[Gravekeeper]

I recall loathing both characters irrationally. Sasuke especially. =p

The whole thing jumped the shark ages ago anyway.

You're right though. I never thought about the whole emo + anime connection. They probably spend Saturday nights sitting at home furiously masturbating to reruns of Gundam Wing.

Yes, thats a terrible mental image. No, I won't apologize for it. It's true.

[NateTheChops]

Man, these kids need role models. I was Emo before emo was cool and at least I had the decency to respect the rules of shopping ettiquette. (That and if I ever pulled something like that I'd see the bottom of my mother's size thirteen before long)

[Lace Neil Singer]

I must protest; Sasuke is emo, not Gaara. Gaara is cool; I happen to like him cuz I would just love to crush to death certain SCs in a Sand Coffin and Funeral... plus, Temari is cool, too. That's two out of three of the Sand Team who are cool... XD

But from the first episode I watched that had Sasuke in... I wanted to beat him to death. What a whiny, emo, wanker. XD I still can't stand him. I know this is getting off topic, so I'll just leave it at that.

[BlakeMP]

How old was the kid? I'm assuming old enough to know better, but I'm just curious -- I'm a high school teacher and I see my kids with this stuff all the time.

thank you for ruining Gundam Wing for me... forever

I don't know you, but I may love you for that statement alone. LOL

I can't stand it when people do that. It's not just kids, adults do it too. My own mother did it just the other week. Admittidly, a five buck curtain rod isn't on the same level as a Naruto boxed set, but still. If you're going to rip into the package, at least have the decency to buy the darn thing.

And laugh hysterically when you run across the package of 3-for-the-price-of-1 "Econo-Condoms" Size: X-Small......
