He's Organizing A Protest

[NightAngel]

Ahhh, gotta love drunk asshats, eh?

Remember the word DRUNK and don't bother trying to figure out the logic behind this one.

DG=Drunk Guy
CSR=my CSR
Me= The part of me is being played by Angelina Jolie (j/k)

DG: "I rented this game last night and I can't play it because I don't have a memory card."

CSR: "Uh... okay."

DG: "I can't play it because I don't have a memory card! I want a different game!"

CSR: "Our policy is same title exchange only if the item is defective."

DG: "Then I want a refund."

CSR: "Our policy is same title exchange only if the item is defective."

DG: "I want a different game or my money back!"

CSR: "NightAngel..."

Me: "Our policy is same title exchange only if the item is defective."

DG: "You're ripping me off!"

Me: "How's that?"

DG: "You rented me this game and I don't own a memory card!"

Me: "Perhaps you should buy a memory card then?"

DG: "This is ridiculous! I can't play the game because I don't have a memory card! I want a different game!... Or a refund!"

Me: *say it with me now* "Our policy is same title exchange only if the item is defective."

DG: "I wanna talk to someone over you!"

Me: "Okay, I'll write down the Store Manager's name and the next time she'll be in..." I start writing and he's still going on at my CSR about how we ripped him off and how Hollywood Video is so much better than us. My thought: go there with your stupid drunk ass then.

Me: *hands him paper*
DG: "NO! I want a corporate number!"

Me: *circles the 1-800 Customer Care number on his receipt* "There you go."

DG: "You'll be sorry! I'm gonna organize a protest! Tomorrow when you open there'll be a PICKET LINE in front of the store! AND I'm gonna complain to your corporate office!"

Me: "Knock yourself out."

DG: "You'll see! If you don't give me a different game right now there'll be a picket line!"

Me: "Okay, have fun."

Wow. That made him mad...

Hmmm...I'm not sure Angelina would be hot enough.

I like that guys logic. I wonder if he really thought that he should be entitled to a refund, or he thought he was clever enough to get his five bucks back.

[Cedophile]

I dunno, I'd be careful. There are plenty of guys out there perpetually drunk enough to join a stupid protest!

[Department stores *sigh*]

whats with drunks and not understanding game return policies kinda sounds like my latest drunk i posted about

I see I'm not the only one who was thinking that

[Becks]

Let us know if there WAS, in fact, an organized picket line. I'm curious now.

[MystyGlyttyr]

Ah, someone else who uses broken record mode. I enjoy that mode immensely myself.

Customer: Complain.
Me: Recite policy.
Customer: Complain again.
Me: Recite policy.
Customer: Complain louder.
Me: Recite policy.
Customer: Gesticulate wildly and curse violently.
Me: Recite policy.
Customer: Ask to speak to the editor.
Me: Transfer.
Editor: Recite policy.
Customer: Aneurysm.

Yeah I get this alll the time, although usually it's "I want to return this game because I didn't like it!"

The picket line however, is one of the more creative threats I've heard. Guy threatened to sue ME and my company over a $50 game (yeah sure, that would be a profitable move) but I stood my ground. Guy never showed up again.

That's exactly why the threat of a lawyer is such a hollow one. The lawyer has to make money. Suing over $5 does not make money for the lawyer. Therefore, the lawyer does not take case unless the client is being billed by the hour and pays their fees.

[Gawdzillers]

Couldn't he have played it without saving?
I did that with Super Mario Sunshine for three months before I got a card.

That guy must've gone to one of the schools I attended. At Michigan State University, we had:
- 700 people rioted because of the war in Iraq.
- 1500 people rioted over affirmative action.
- almost 4000 people rioted over a basketball game.

I wish I was making this up

I can top that.

My first year in university, I was so excited to hear there was a protest going on.

Then I read the flyer.

Basically it said that if you were upset over the war in Iraq (it's a Canadian school), high tuition, the quality of the cafeteria food or were just generally in a bad mood that day, that everyone was going to gather at such and such a place on Saturday at noon. Students in my school couldn't even summon up the outrage to protest about anything in particular, so we had to lump a bunch of problems together and hope people showed up.

Frankly, I would have gone if there was candy.

Gesticulate wildly

that word has always sounded so dirty to me *snigger*

[Jester]

Amusingly, at my time in Arizona State, there were a few protests.

A small one to protest the first Persian Gulf War.
A small one to protest some scandal that occurred within the student government.
A small one to protest some idiot thing our president did.
A few small ones to protest some idiot things some idiot athletes did.

And then we had The Big One. We marched. We chanted. We took over the Administration Building for the whole weekend. (I know. I was there. It was great.) What were we so up in arms about?

Tuition hikes.

And that, kids, was the 90’s for ya!

[Confuzed-Monkey]

I'm just having a laugh picturing this idiot actually trying to get a protest going.

Him with a bunch of drunk friends..

"Hey lets go protest outside the store, they stole my money"
"Why?"
"They stole my money, cause I don't have a memory card."
"So, were going to protest the memory card?"
"No, they STOLE my money, that why I gotta protest."
(Guy in background) "Were outta beer!"
"Alright, first we get beer, then we protest."
"OK, lets go."
"So, were gonna protest to the store that were outta beer."

"EXACTLY, that'll teach'em."

that all i got
