On The Top Ten Lies Blockbuster Video Tells Their Customers at 08/23/2007 1:33pm

I was a shift manager at BBV back in the day too, and its pretty much the same for me except a lot of the employees I worked with actually were movie buffs- but I'm guessing thats because it was in a college town and close to campus. We actually had a notebook where we would write down stories of customers (which of course we kept stashed away from the district manager) and after I left to pursue another job I heard it was passed down to other managers after me.
Best story:
Customer: "Hey whats that Salu movie?"
Employee: "Salu??"
Customer: "Yeah, Salu"
Employee: (types in computer)" I don't see anything, is it a foreign film?"
Customer: "Don't look like it. Theres a whole bunch of em over there on the wall. Gots like a hand and a foot on it..."
Employee: "... with a white cover?"
Customer: "Yep"
Employee: "Sir, thats Saw."


BTW let it be said the fact that they're open on Thanksgiving day and Christmas day is total crap. And I was there for the End of Late Fees deal and its total crap as well, I never liked it.

Down with the man!
