Oh, how I do not miss retail. Not even the tiniest bit.
I know I used to be the only social interaction that some of my customers had, and that's kind of sad, but some days, oh some days, I really don't want to chit chat, I fucking hate it when people tell me to smile and I swear to whatever-you-hold holy, if you make that crack about working hard or hardly working? I will end you.
*hug* Yay for wine and mini-fics though. I love your days off. It usually means porn :D
(and oh shit, you just reminded me of my auction post XD TO THE POSTING STATION!)
My favorite is (since we buy used merchandise) when someone will come in and say that they have ten boxes of stuff to sell, ahahahaha, isn't that just a riot?
No. No it is not. Going through boxes and boxes of what is almost sure to be dirty, nasty stuff that's been in your garage or attic for ten years? Not actually amusing. Maybe you're trying to lighten the mood or subtly apologize by laughing. Guess what? Not working. Just stop. >_<
And I was going to protest that there wasn't necessarily going to be porn, but then I remembered that I promised you there would be, so . . . XD
Just wait until I get my two weeks, bb. o.o It's comin' up.
I used to work in a used bookstore. One of the items e=we used to purchase was used pornography. Now, you might not know this about me (it is entirely possible that you've been hit in the head and lost all memory of my previous comment, your reply and... most discussions that we've had, really) but I have NO PROBLEM with pornography.
Used pornography though...? Squicks me.
Especially since we had to flip through the magazines to make sure that you still could and that nothing was missing.
*shudder*
I actually had to reject a few batches on the improperly turning page factor a couple of times.
The really funny part of this story? I got fired from that job because my facial piercings were deemed inappropriate. BECAUSE WE HAD STANDARDS DAMN IT!
(That is actually what my face looks like right now, jsyk. Ugh. >_<)
We don't buy pornographic material unless it's "vintage" (Playboys from the 50s and 60s, etc.), but we do buy magazines, and we finally had to stop paying for the ones this guy would bring in because all of his copies of Maxim and the like had pages/pictures missing. And he'd bring in TUBS full of the things. It was just really, phenomenally creepy. >_<
Also, old dudes (actually, dudes in general): please do not ask me where you can buy "adult videos", and/or ask me to define "erotica" anymore. It is super disturbing. Also, STOP TAKING MAGAZINES INTO THE BATHROOM SERIOUSLY IT IS A PUBLIC PLACE WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?
