This Penny Arcade is possibly the funniest ever. But it's funny in the way the movie 'Waiting' was only funny to people who work in restaurants. If you've EVER worked holiday retail, then you are well acquainted with the mythos of the magical toy land in 'the back' that most customers adhere to.
Sorry, folk, the back has nothing in it, except 1) the break room 2) the bathroom 3) a whole lot of empty shelves, that are empty because you stupid morons keep buying shit faster than we can get it!
And trust me, the employees do hate you. holiday shoppers. You make their lives hell, you spoil their usual do nothing jobs, some of you curse them out, or accuse them of being rude irrationally, when they probably have something they legitimately need to be doing that is preventing them from spending twenty minutes with one person. I even once had someone throw their change in my face, because I'd handed it to them wrong.
But I relished the chances to go in 'the back'. That's where the soda machine was. And I've found the length of one short song on your i pod is usually the proper amount of time to stand there wasting time. A word of wisdom to anyone suffering hte holiday season on the wrong side of the counter at Target.
