The Blockbuster Vocabulary

Proj·ect Store (prŏj'ĕkt' stôr)
n.

A plan or proposal (usually within a corporation) that has cost a vast amount of money and/or time to implement, but will have little to no benefits, financially or otherwise, and will likely be discontinued shortly after its inception.

adj.

Unsuccessful; a spectacular failure.

Example:
SM: Did you read that e-mail about the new procedure for performing the LOS?
CSR: Yeah, I did - all sounds a bit Project Store to me.


Tes·co Ban·dit (tĕs'kō băn'dĭt)
n.

1. One who exploits others through the use of coupons or vouchers.
2. Chiefly British. One who only ever rents using vouchers, and never spends any actual money.

Example:
SM: How come your till has only taken £300? I thought you said you were really busy?
CSR: I was busy, but loads of them were Tesco Bandits!



Any others?

Stealing Harvard:

A way to tell other employees that there is a thief in the store without giving the thief too much notice.

Example.

CSR: Hey I think Stealing Harvard is in the drama section.
ASM: Let me check.
Then you follow the guy till he leaves while trying to help him out too.

Well we do this in our store. It works very well.

I just found out yesterday that Tesco is expanding to the States. When I heard about it, all I could think of was "Tesco bandits"

Prom·ise spong·ing (prŏm'ĭs spŭnj'ĭng)
v.

1. One who attempts to gain free movies by taking advantage of the 'Promise' promotion.
2. One who spends 20 minutes documenting all chart titles that appear to be out of stock, then asks to get all titles 'on the Promise'; if any are subsequently found to be in stock, it will be refused.
3. Chiefly British. See synonyms at 'parasite'.

Example:
Cust: Do you have any copies of 'Two Weeks Notice'?
CSR #1: Hang on, I'll ask my colleague. Hey, are there any 'Two Weeks Notice' back there?
CSR #2: Yeah, I've got one here.
Cust: Oh, that's okay, I just wanted it for free.
CSR #2: Hey, does he want this 'Two Weeks Notice'?
CSR #1: No, don't worry, he doesn't want it. He was only Promise sponging.


shelf strip cut (shĕlf strĭp kŭt)
n.

Similar to a paper cut, only much more severe.

Example:
SM: Owwww... FUCK!
CSR: What's up?
SM: Just got me a nasty little shelf strip cut!



Sorry, I don't know the American Equivalent of the former (we call(ed) GIS the 'Promise').
