On The Top Ten Lies Blockbuster Video Tells Their Customers at 10/04 9:20pm

this might be the greatest article i have ever read. i also got in trouble for dropping the cunt word in front of a female customer. i called another employee a cunt because he didn't do his bloody job and make room for anything in the tv section. he instead spent the previous night talking to his girlfriend on the phone in the back. I didn't get fired for it though, even though my store manager was standing next to me and said customer was right behind me. i just carried on my conversation like nothing happen till i noticed the "i cannot believe you just said that" stare coming from my store manager, at which point i stated i didn't say it that loudly, which obviously wasn't the case because said customer dropped her movies right then and there and walked out. the only thing that saved me is that i could make my store manager laugh, and that i was only the second worst one currently working under him. and netflix is better. i would like to say that in central Pennsylvania, the managers had seen most if not all of the movies you mentioned and a couple of us had a following with the customers and where able to break the trend of them not watching subtitle movies. we even got some to buy battle royale. and as much as i hated that job, the crew i worked were fun. and i miss the annoying customers that we had nicknames for. we had The Pedophile, who always made comments about under 16 girls being hot, even though he was in his forties, and always had an olsen twins movie rented out "for his kids" even though we never saw any kids. then there was the Anti-Price, who was named for the employee that just despised him, but the customer thought he was loved by all. always talked to us like we were the best man at his wedding, he treated his wife like shit, always rented god awful movies and games. then there was harry, who was just repulsive. swore at customers, probably hated us, he would rent games, beat them two days later, then scratch the disc on purpose so he could get a free rental. this lasted until the assistant manager banned him from renting games ever again. he left a note on the account saying that if you rented a game out to him, you would be fired. and he checked it every day he opened.

as for the closing early thing, i worked one christmas day (and all employees had to work two holidays, including managers) with the shift leader who was by far in contention of being in the top ten worst employees in history, he closed the store five hours ahead of schedule. granted we didn't have a customer for the last three hours. all i know is i'm doing returns, and he started closing up all the computers. he said hurry up and put those movies back, we are peacing. "what the fuck are you talking about" was my response. "it's christmas day, i don't feel like being here, i'm closing now. and don't worry, i do this all the time." "what about the alarm times, won't they noticed the alarm being set 5 hours early." "maybe, but i'll take the fall so don't worry." aka i have worse dirt on you or someone else that i will trade for my freedom. good times.
