BAHWTF.
Was it National Asshole Customer today or something? I swear, we got every type today, and a goddamn marketing kit that took eight hours to even half-assemble (so basically, my entire shift was spent rushing between helping morons, cunts, perverts and screaming children, and replacing the cover art of two hundred display boxes with more cover art that was only different in such a slight way only a microscope-wielding scientist would be able to tell the difference).
We got:
-The screaming children with food that they smeared all over the windows and merchandise.
-The anal retentive mother who insisted on buying a used game, but then sent us searching through the drawers four times to find one that didn't have any dust on it.
-The guy who paid us $12.75 in nickels.
-The pervert who swore he could see God a little below the neckline of my shirt.
-The guy who knocked over an entire fucking gondola.
-The kid who tried to use his mother's ID to buy a rated-M game (I shit. You. Not.)
-The loiterers who transported several games from one section of the store to the other, then left their empty Starbucks cups on the floor.
All in one shift. Jesus H motherfucking boom boom Christ, eh? Not to mention at least three phone calls about competitive pricing - I don't know which videogame store in the area now participates in this, but I will track them down and shove tacks up their rectum. No, we don't participate in competitive pricing. No, telling me Blockbuster sells their games for less isn't going to make me lower the price. Did I invite you to tell me a sob story about how we charged two dollars more? What makes you think I want to take time out of my day to listen to how you spent two extra dollars? I'm not fucking Blockbuster! I don't care! I have work to do that doesn't involve you telling me your financial life story over Gears of War, goddamnit!
Customer: Do you do competitive pricing?
Lisa: No, I'm afraid we don't, sir.
Customer: 'Cuz see, Blockbuster has cheaper games than this. I bought a game here once for ten dollars and it was eight there, and then I felt really stupid for buying it here. Can't you deduct prices? Do you always overcharge? Because at Blockbuster this game is eight dollars and here it's ten. Maybe you guys should be like Blockbuster and compete and stuff. I hate paying extra here. I'm just going to go to Blockbuster from now on.
Lisa: I'm sorry sir, we're not Blockbuster.
Customer: I asked you a question.
Lisa: No, you gave me a rant.
Bitch.
And not a single sub or rez today. It's not that we didn't try. For such an extremely busy day, our numbers sucked balls. Seriously shitty day customer-wise. And Jesus God, I hate the EA sports gondola. It's bullshit. I hate sports games so much it makes my face turn red. Fuck it. I. Hate. Sports games. They're all the fucking same with minor differences, they're hard as fuck to organize, and their fans are assholes to me.
My raise better be very nice this month. For real.
Then I went out with Sterling, who is a darling, and he made my day all better. We saw Premonition at the theatre, which was surprisingly good and had that gorgeous lady Sandra Bullock in it (*crush*). He got a milkshake, I got popcorn, we chatted for ages and sang Electric Six songs. <3
