And technically, there ARE customers. Just... not for the movies, but for the brand itself.

Which will now be a line I use in specific situations. Like if I go to McDonald's and they forget my McNuggets, I can ask to speak to the manager, and when she walks up and I go "Are you the manager?" and she replies "Yes", I can say "Well then why don't you manage MY DICK!"

I could see how this would be fun in pointless situations. Boss giving you trouble? "Hey, Dick Manager, manage THIS DICK!"
I think that was the best thing i have ever posted..lmao

Not sure why I never noticed this thread before, but the OP's post could have been ripped right out of the experiences at my store. Fuck, Blockbuster customers are complete fucktards no matter where you go.

To the OP, you forgot one...and assuming your customers do the same stupid shit my customers do I guarantee you they are doing this at all the stores...

The customer is on the floor and can't find something so they go to the REGISTER to ask for help finding something on the FLOOR. INSTEAD of asking the employee on the FLOOR who is putting away movies and greeting people. And the same goes vice versa...they will approach the person on the FLOOR running the movies/greeting people to ask if there is a movie in the DROP BOX! Why the FUCK don't they waddle their wide asses to the register and ask the employees standing around back there?

FUCK!!!!!! Why is that so FUCKING HARD for people to understand they are asking the wrong person for the wrong thing!

I understand the frustrations with customers, but at the same time I never found what your saying to be a big issue.

My complaints with customers had more to do with them wanting me to reward them by taking off a large balance because they decided to throw a temper tantrum in my store.

If I was ever on the floor, and someone asks whats in the drop box; I guess I never had much of an issue going over to look. And same with behind the counter...as long as there wasn't a line. If there was then I would politely tell the customer to either wait or find the employee on the floor.

Over time, anything customers do can infuriate you but trivial stuff just never bugged me. From their perspective, your getting paid to help them and it shouldn't matter which employee they approach.

Just take a deep breath, smile, and do what you gotta do.

One, usually you have to go all over the store to find floor person and the floor person is always talking to someone , a customer or friend.(past experience,)
Two, it's so much easier to go to the front , because that's were most employees hang out.
Three, Is it so hard to help someone when they come to the front?
Four, make up your mind, do you want customers to ask floor person(who may be running movies ) or go to the front and bother employees for help.
And isn't it your job to help a customer? No matter who they ask working there.?
The store I go to helps you no matter who you ask. Like the service I get there.

No, I am just saying a thinking customer would ask more effectively. If I was in a grocery store and I needed help in the dairy section, I would try to find the employee closest to the dairy section as possible. I would not go to the produce section on the other side of the store and ask for help. Likewise, if I was a customer in a video store and I wondered if something was just returned, I would march my ass up to the front counter where they are checking in movies and ask, NOT go up to the employee on the other side of the store putting up movies in the W's when obviously they already ran the movies in the letters I am looking for and expect them to walk up to the front of the store when there are already three people I could have asked up there.

NO, it's not the biggest issue. But it's still a really fucking ineffective use of their time. My time, on the other hand? I get paid the same per hour whether they ask effectively nor not.

Realistically he wishes you were his manager and now his dick.

Here is several ways how it could have been more logical...

Glad you are not my manager, dick.
You are a dick, I am glad you are not my manager.
My manager is a dick, so are you.
Would you like to manage my dick?
My dick is quite manageable.
so many years later i still love this lol
