When a rude customer asks me a stupid question, I tend to give a smart ass answer. It gets me into a bit of trouble from time to time, but it's well worth seeing the looks on their faces when I tell them, as politely as possible, that they're fucking stupid.

A couple kids (fresh 18ners, my guess) came in returning a x360 game and a dead box for another one. Not a game pass. I get to their account, and it does not have a credit card. After explaining the policy, and realizing that our notorious screw up employee have been renting them the forbidden games, I explain I wasn't there for the last transactions so I did not know the status of their account in the past (maybe the credit card was removed, you never know), and I signed a contract saying I could not rent on an unsecured account. After trying to give me a debit card, an offer to get a credit card number over the phone, and to just borrow the credit card to get it on the account, I explain that the dad has to come in with the credit card and do it himself. He's not the one I'm writing about. He was respectful, and just trying to anything he could to not get his father into the mix. Sadly, this is what it had to come down to. I held the game for him, and thanked him for being respectful. The dad comes in a couple hours later with the two guys. I recognize the guy and grab his game. They approach my till.
Dad: We've been renting these x360 games all the time, and no one ever told us about this credit card thing! Me: Well thank you for coming in. (I have the sign handy, I show it to him) This is the policy, we just need a valid credit card on the account to secure it to rent the games. As I told your son, I am not sure what has happened in your past rentings, and this policy is part of my contract. Dad: Well, fine! Here you go (its a debit card... SUPRISE!) Me: Sorry, that is actually a debit card. Do you have a major credit card that is not a debit or check card? Dad: It has the visa logo on it. Does that mean NOTHING to you? Its a VISA!(la di da!!!) Me: I know, and the visa check and debit cards don't work in our system like a normal credit card. Dad: *looks up the ceiling like oh god, why me?!* This is ridiculous! Son: Dad, stop it... Dad: *pulls out a real credit card* Will THIS work? Son: Dad, seriously, stop it... Me: Yes, perfect, thank you very much. I'll get this set up right away. I'll just do the quick PA, and get you the game that you came for. Luckily, I was able to do the PA and renting without more protest, probably thanks to the son. I thanked them again for respecting the policy, and for coming back. And, to my suprise, the dad actually left in a genuinely good note. He said thank you nicely, and did not say anything evil in the exit door. Stupid VISA.

What pisses me off is when the credit card declines, they flip out and ask "which credit card do you have?!" and all I can tell them is "Uhh...well, I can tell you it's a Visa...with XX/XX as an exp. date. But thats it. We don't have access to your credit card directly." I know we can see the last four digits of the CCN, but I like making them feel stupid.

Our DL just finally gave up and told us we can put debit cards on accounts for Next-Gen games, as long as we tell the customer that securing an account with a debit card is strongly discouraged, and warn the customer that, if the game isn't returned, the price of the disc WILL be charged to their bank account.

A woman in her 50's stormed into my store about 2 days ago with a strange request....
C: (very snotty sounding and almost throwing a movie at me) HERE! You know you people should really make sure the movie is formatted back to english when they return to the store! Me: I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean? C: It's not hard! Just make sure that the language on the movie is set back to ENGLISH...not SPANISH! Me:Oh, that's actually impossible ma'am. Dvd's are formatted to play one way and one way only. Flags of our Fathers plays in English unless you switched the language by mistake, either by your tv/dvd player or by the dvd menu. Could that have been possible? C: Well it wasnt me, it was my 85 year old mother. And she doesn't know how to do that stuff! She had a hell of a time calling me to come and fix a problem for her that YOU should have fixed! Me:Well, ma'am, I'm sorry you had so much trouble, but like i said before..... C: I dont want to hear your excuses! Just make sure it doesnt happen again!!!(storms out of the store) Since it was around 10:40, I decided to pop it in the player to see if maybe by some strange reason the dvd was in spanish..... starts playing in English, so I go to the language set up menu, and IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A F***ING SPANISH LANGUAGE SETTING!!! ONLY SPANISH SUBTITLES!!! *sigh* when are people going to stop bieing so stupid?
