..doesn't give you the right to assume I'm a failure as a human being or in any way "less" than you!! :mad:

not all customers treay me/us like something nasty they just found from the soles of their shoes but even one is one too many.

I actually like this job, I've said before it's not rocket science and it isn't. but it pays my bills and it's flexible enough so I can take days off without the boss frowning at me.

but some people that come in.. they just make me mad! the way some folks (mainly women, I must admit) look at me makes my blood boil. also, if I say hello, is it really that difficult to say something back?

ARGH!

    I went into a video shop once and said "can i rent Batman Forever please" and the guy said "no you can rent it for 48 hours like everyone else"
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    heh, my sis worked at a video store through college, and sometimes she got the same attitude! for the most part ppl were cool though, asking her opinion on movies and such. i tell ya, parents really don't look at the ratings on movies these days! she said it was hilarious when "jay and silent bob strike back" came out. every day there would be furious parents coming in saying i can't believe i rented that for my kid!!

    I don't.. just cause we're on the same message board doesn't mean we watch the same stuff from TV. ;):p

    If I didn't have a family and all my crazy financial obligations I would so be working in a video store.

    In which case, I highly recommend the movie "Clerks", dir by Kevin Smith. To a lesser extent, "Clerks 2". Check it out if its in store stock. Enjoy!

    People could be so rude. I'm polite to everyone even if they are being rude to me.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Thats cool man, nothing wrong with working at a movie store. Im a stay at home dad and people think im a loser and a bum. My wife makes plenty of money. She went to college and I didnt. So I stay home with the baby. Even if I did work my check would be going to a babysitter, so fuck it. But my whole point was I filled out a app. at Block Buster for something part time, and I really really hope I get the job, it would be so much fun to make fun of customer after they walk out. Get free movies and all that stuff. Like my dad who goes in BB and gets a soft porn, Emammuel or something cheesy.
    I'll be back

    I worked in a video store for 7 years so i know exactly where you're coming from. A guy called one time and asked for the movie "Pat Riot" i was all wtf until he said "it's listed on your board!" Then i realized he meant the movie The Patriot.

    ....it's the general public who are fucking morons, not the clerks....
