So working in La Jolla, there were a decent number of famous people who came in. I guess it's finally safe to name some. My favorite famous customer was Charlize Theron, who came in really late to get her movies, and was super friendly and chatty. Also Ben Affleck and Donnie Wahlberg came in once to rent a bunch of games. When they came in, my CSR got excited and pulled up his account (he was already in our system) and saw he owed a $4 balance. She begged me to credit it off because she didn't want to bother him with it-- I said no, so then she insisted that I let her pay it for him. I refused to let her do that and so when they came up to the counter to pay, she mentioned the fee and he was all "that's cool." (duh)

I've been sitting on this story though. And I'm still not sure I want to tell it-- even though ihbb is ending, I am still going to withhold his name. One of our regulars was a very famous TV personality (you would all know him). He was kind of a dick, but you wouldn't know it from his TV persona. This one time he came in wearing only his jogging stuff, had no ID or anything but just the cash to rent a couple of movies. However, my CSR decides to play it straight and refuses to rent to him because he doesn't have his ID. So I hear this going on, but I'm with my own customer, and I'm about to go over and say it's ok, because I (and everyone in the store) knows who he is. But when I get over there, before I can even open my mouth, the man goes off on me asking me what kind of business this is. Then he applies the worst logic I've ever heard: he said what if he brought his ID in, but the cash wasn't his.. he could have mugged someone for the cash. I shook my head in confusion at his point, but was overall taken aback that he didn't even give me a chance to say "it's ok, I recognize you, you can rent." He then said "doesn't either of you know who I am?" I was getting frustrated. I wanted to say to the rest of the customers: "excuse me? Does anyone recognize this man? He doesn't know who he is.." but I never had a moment to get a word in. He threw (yes, threw) his movies behind the counter and left. The customer behind him said "wow, was that <so and so>?"

A week later, his assistant called and asked that all record of "Mr. Assface's account be purged." I told her as she was clearly not Mr. Assface, I would not confirm nor deny the existence of his business with us.

Steve Mariucci also came in from time to time and was a very interesting conversationalist.

I promise not to tell anyone.

Please?

Pretty please?

With sugar on top?

You've got us hooked, rk237 -- you have to tell us!

Is it an actor? A television host? Regis Philbin? Montel? Ryan Seacrest?
