and of course, who could forget "the oblivious"?
A few more gems from the past few days.
Belts are your friends
Had a guy try and shoplift. Needless to say, with our eyes in the sky, he failed miserably. So as he's being led to the front of the store, he his flanked by at least 4-5 employees, half of which are managers.
It gets even better when he attempts to bolt for the door. Withing 1.5 seconds he's been tackled by the aforementioned people. And while he's struggling, his pants fall down (the boxers stay on, thank God).
So not only does he have 4-5 people holding him, but his pants are around his ankles. Where the hell does he think he's gonna go?
And of course he gets arrested. All over a cheap ass $50 mp3 player.
On a more serious notel. He did manage to knee my friend P in the stomach. He's okay of course, but just thought I'd throw that in there.
The abstract Avatar
Yes, it seems the plight of Pandora will never leave me
1. Guy comes up to me
G: Do you guys have that Avatar movie?
Me: *looks to his left at the giant freakin standee that we have yet to get rid of*
G *Follows my gaze* Oh! Geez, sorry man (laughs at his own short sightedness)
Me: Eh, don't worry about it, you're not the first guy that's happened to.
Guy 2:
G: Wow, Avatar came out?
Me: *what rock have you been living under?* Yep
G: When did this happen?
M*seriously?* Like, a couple of weeks ago.
G: Wow, I didn't even get to see it in theatres.
M*How the hell not? Don't you get out?* Well, now you can.
G: How come one is $30 and another is $20?
M: *groan* One's a Blu-ray/DVD combo. The other is just plain DVD *my God, learn to read the damn box*
G: Okay, thanks.
I swear, it's amazing our own species hasn't starved to death by now.
Language barriers
To the little old Spanish woman (yes, relevant). Do not get angry with us for not being able to understand you. Your broken comprehension of the English language coupled with your accent makes it very difficult to understand what you want. Do not immediatly assume that the employees here are, and I quote, "Stupid". It is not a lack of intelligence on our part but a lack of coherent speach on your part. Not all of us know Spanish as a second language. So for you to get angry at us, while understandable, is quite unfair.
To the various
1.I'm glad you found something your looking for. However, please do not stop to tell me your life's story about how it "will make your mom's day" etc... etc... I neither have the patience nor the will to sit and listen to your 45 minute long autobiography as to why this certain film or cd makes you complete. I do not wish to have this conversation with you when I have so much more to do.
2.Also, stop asking me for obscure things. I know it is my job, but if you ask me for an increadibly old film or music group that I have never heard of, chances are that we don't have it. Oh, I'll still search in the system for it, in vain. We'll most likely have it "in the system" But it will not exist within the store itself. It's kinda annoying and happens 7/10 times someone asks for something.
3. The store closed (insert time frame here) ago. Please stop browsing and get the F out! Business hours exist for a reason.
