Girls go googoo for Gaga

While I do question the quality of role model Lady Gaga may be for a young girl let me make something abundently clear:

If I tell you an item is not instock ( in this case, some large DVD package complements of aformentioned artist) nor is even coming up in our data base anymore, it is probably a good call that we have ceased to carry it for the forseeable future.

For some reason, this did not deter you from coming in a second day in hopes that said item magically appeared as if spawned overnight by one of Miss Gaga's uniqe (and often ridiculous) fashion get ups.

Calling the Blindman's Bluff

THEY ARE YOUR EYES PEOPLE!!!! USE THEM!

1. I do not question why a grown man would look for a Lady Gaga CD ( see a theme starting to develop?). Perhaps he's buying for a relative. Or maybe he's developed an unhealthy obsession with the artist (closet shrine and all). Either way, he should be old enough to know that there is such a thing as alphabetical order and the CD in Question was literaly right behind him upon the racks which he favored leaning against.

2. This goes as well toward the gentleman who inquired about CD racks for the home without realising that they were directly behind him.

A malcontent point of my finger was all it took to direct his attention for the item he so sought after.

It's one of the biggest movies every, and you're having trouble locating it in this store?

Yes, Avatar was released. Yes, we all understand how awesome an accomplishment it was in the realm of film making. Yes, I basically felt like I was watching Phocahontas again. No I do not agree with all the hype. (District 9 was better. Suck it Cameron!)

That said, how do you not see the GIANT FREAKIN STANDEES with rows of the film AT OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE STORE, and BEFORE CHECKOUT?!

One that gave me a chuckle

Couple came in looking for an obscure CD. We did not have it, despire my best efforts to locate it within our database.

Him: I thought you guys had everything?
Me: No, you're thinking of Santa Claus.

We both had a good laugh.

[Shatteredillusions]

Haha.. My bookstore has among other items a section with DVD's. Aint got Avatar yet, but New Moon still keeps selling.. Come to think of it, and thankfully, no one has asked about Avatar either.

I can tell you why it's not coming up in your database. It doesn't exist....yet.

Oh, I had someone who couldn't find the Rock section....that they were standing in the middle of.

Also had someone asking if we sold music....while facing the music section that had a big-ass sign that said "Music" over it.

Had several people that somehow managed to miss the entire grocery side of the Wally World I worked at.

[Exaspera]

I'll be honest, I have been guilty of asking where something was, after really searching for it in earnest, only to have the clerk point it out being right next to me. I have sincerely apologized for that though, face-palmed, etc. Does that make me bad if I realize my error? I've wondered about this.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

As I have said previously, Lady Gaga is basically Madonna, only less talented and fuck ugly.

[Cookie]

But you must have more Lady Gaga stuff in the back!!!!!! They were just trying to read your poker face.

[dalesys]

...of aforementioned tartist...

editted per my opinionation...

[chainedbarista]

i agree with ipf; what is the deal with that wench? madonnaish, maybe, but more irritating than talented.

all hail those in the land of oblivion, for they are the clueless that keep us wanting to rip out all our hair and run screaming for the woods.

It was enjoyable enough for me to buy it on DVD, but it wasn't Pocahontas.

It was more like someone took Fern Gully, made it twice as long, then layered Dances With Wolves over the first half and Braveheart over the second half.

I once asked where the lemon juice was. Woman points. I say, how many aisles down. Woman points again. Rinse and repeat. Woman takes one step closer to the wall o product so her finger is actually touching the bottle I am looking for.

[solidmetalgear19]

There's a huge difference between asking for something that is aisles away and pointing to it and asking for a product that is literally right behind the person ( as was the case with me)

And there's nothing wrong with asking for help when you yourself have basically been through a store with a fine toothed comb. Then and only then is such behavior admissable.

It's the people who don't pay attention to their surroundings and ask for something that get on ones nerves.

Best description ever.

Yes, you should have seen it, but she also should have tried something like "no, ti's right here".

I had to ask where the Borax was the other day. When the cashier dug it out from behind the baking soda (literally, there were two identically-sized boxes of baking soda in front of the box of Borax) I decided to not feel bad about not finding it.

It's the people who don't pay attention to their surroundings and ask for something that get on ones nerves.

Or the ones that just walk in the door and ask without even trying to find it themselves.


Guess I'm in the minority with Gaga. After hearing her a cappella a few times, I think she's got a great voice.

This is way too common.

I was buying food the other day and I heard a lady behind me ask a nearby clerk where she could find bread. All she had to do was turn around and see the 24-foot long bread portion of the aisle.

(District 9 was better. Suck it Cameron!)

from the only other person who seemed to like District 9.

That said, how do you not see the GIANT FREAKIN STANDEES with rows of the film AT OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE STORE, and BEFORE CHECKOUT?!

At this point, there's nothing more we can do to make it more obvious.
