some guy came in yelling and screaming at me last night because he bought soda from us that was expired. He told me that he was going to call the police and have me arrested for it... I couldnt help but laugh.

LOL, I had an old lady come in looking for wrapping paper, and when I said we don't carry but the Store at the end of the shopping center does. She got upset about it, then asked what was in the bag behind the counter. I told her it was my lunch, then she asked if she could have some. Uh, no. She then hit me on the arm and left only to get in her Mercedes.

Had a lady throwing post-its at my ASM a few months ago. Like, walking behind the counter and throwing them. Then she finally told her (my asm) that she would wait outside for her, and sure enough, was waiting in the parking lot with a cigarette in hand most the time for about two hours until we finally called the police on her.

I don't think it was Smith being goofy as much as him not wanting to bother with making sure the actors were being "authentic".

Then again, no one has ever accused him of paying too much attention to detail

Did you tell him that expired soda is probably tamer on one's internals than fresh soda?

Had the weirdest phone conversation today.

A guy calls in... or I think it was a woman who just smokes alot, but it sounded like one of those people who put those sticks up to their throats to speak.

Me: Thank you for calling Blockbuster on XXXX street, how can I help you?
Cust: *makes a whole bunch weird scratchy noises on the phone
Me: Umm... hello?
Cust: Herro??!!!!!!
Me: Umm... hi. Can I help you?
Cust: *Makes more scratchy noises on the phone
Me: Hello??
Cust: *In scratchy noise* You're stupid!!!!!
Me: Umm... sir, I think you're phone's breaking up, I can barely understand you.
Cust: *More scratchy weird noises
Me: Can I put you on hold?
Cust: *Make loud scratchy weird noises
Me: Ok umm... please hold.

Customer hangs up. o.o

Yeah, gotta be a missing voicebox. No way would this be anything as mundane as a cell phone with bad reception or anything

So I went in to the store today to drop off some prestreets and to rent a thing or two, when a customer who I recognized (and who apparently recognized me) comes up to me while i'm browsing the comedy section.

C: Hey! I know you're not really "at work" but could you check these in and tell me if they're late?

Me: Uhhh. *glances at register, where 2 managers and 2 CSRs stand*

C: I'm afraid they wont do it right.

Me:.......Yeah, i'm really not allowed...er...

C: Fine. *walks away, flips hair*

Double you tee eff, mother fucker?

I think she likes you, Bran.

Too bad she is sooooo barking up the wrong tree

Hehe, but it really wound me up when I was watching it. Dante would ask for the money, the customer would hand over some notes and walk very hastily of the screen. I kept thinking, "Change!!! Take your damn change!".
