Everyone else is just uncomfortable publicly recognizing the originality of the bold social commentary you have just made. Although their faces don't show it, they're all belly-laughing on the inside and they recognize your genius.

This is absolutely laugh out loud funny!! Nice effort and all these stories unfortunately really are the braintrust of the upper echelon of Blockbuster clientelle.

I'm not quite sure why I'm still sticking around. I don't miss the job but I guess it's hard to go cold turkey and leave all of the corporate B.S. and fascinating blood and gore car crash that you can't look away from jacked-up customer behavior behind. Thanks for the compliment, babe.

Thanks, I wasn't quite sure when I was writing it if would come across as funny or as smug and condescending.

Noted and on the record. Oddly enough there is a Sheboygan in Wisconsin that is bounded on the East side by Lake Michigan.

'Clientele' is to 'Video store customer' as 'Gentleman's club''' is to 'Titty bar'

I often had to remind myself and other employees that dirt poor unwashed and under educated mouth-breathers were our bread and butter. And when one of my employees would stand silently in a haze of disbelief after hearing a mind-numbingly moronic remark from a customer I would snap them out of it by saying "Hey, it's a video store, not a library."

Rock on with your bad self.

I don't know what it means either. I just like saying it. I couldn't find another way to truly describe how awesome it was, so I chose something that I wasn't sure quite what it meant, nor the degree to which it meant of something that I wasn't sure what it was to begin with... or something.

Around here, sometimes smug and condescending is as close to funny as we can get

But you are so right that we do need to remember that the unwashed masses are the ones that pay the bills.
