Closing Store Drinking Game

(Not that I would EVER advocate consuming alcohol on the clock!)

Help expand the best darn way to distract yourself from the sad fact that we're all losing our jobs!

It's just in the early stages, so all we have so far is:

Take a drink any time-

a customer asks "Where are you moving?"

a customer brings up a movie to rent. (additional drink if they are then shocked when told they cannot rent it.)

a customer walks in the door and says, "So, you guys are closing?"

a customer complains about how far away the closest go-forward store is.

a customer declines the free online trial, instead opting to "go to Netflix."




...we stopped adding when we realized we'd all die of alcohol poisoning within the first hour of our shifts.

But what else ya got?

a customer asks if your are losing your job.

a customer says "it's about time." or anything hinting at the fact it was GOING to happen.

a customer mentions that Red Box or Netflix must be taking over the rental world for the fact that our store is closing.

a customer brings up a movie and thinks it is 99 cents to buy because of a previous rental sticker.

Take a drink when after they ask where you're moving and you tell them blockbuster.com and they say that's not moving. The stores still open can play along also only our only question is "Are you closing too?" After answering with the following choices: not today, soon, in the next round,etc. take your swig.

This is for everyone still with BBV - every time a customer mentions the following as the reason that BBV is failing...Netflix, Redbox, On demand, Game fly....take a swig.

Even the Devil, which is the main share holder of blockbuster is saying you guys are making me look bad!

Horse Power is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
