merrilySo I stopped at Blockbuster on the way home from work today to pick up disc 4 of Alias S5.
(Sidenote: it is a bad idea to date clerks from your favourite local vid store. When you break up, you will never be able to go back there again, and you will end up renting TV seasons one disc at a time from Blockbuster, paying through the nose. TAKE IT FROM ME.)
As I was paying, I remembered that I had 2 movies at home that I didn't want, and that Blockbuster earlier that month had been offering a "sell us your previously-viewed movies! get store credit!" deal.
"Say, by the way, I've got-"
"Yes, we're hiring," bored-looking employee said. "We're hiring all the time. You can certainly drop off a resume. Putting your retail experience near the top is a good idea. The manager's name is Scott, he's here Monday through Friday until 6PM, tell him Rick said you seemed like a good prospect."
Since I really hate catty customers, I did not laugh long and hard. But it was close. Of all the places I would never want to work!
(Sorry, o flist person who applied for a Blockbuster job. I have sympathy. I know you wanted it. But you are so much better off without it. You were too good for it. Really. And so am I.)
