I'm not going to tell you one of the places I worked at, let's just say it rhymes with....MockMuster......but in my two years of working there, I can almost write a book full of all the stories involving SC's that ventured in and out to rent movies and video games.
Just one example to whett your appetite:
It was a Friday morning, and I opened up with the AM and one other co-worker. About maybe 20 minutes after we opened, in breezed an obviously agitated woman. Just from the way she walked in, huffing and puffing and muttering to herself, my co-worker and I could tell she was going to be a problem. After several "please just let her leave" moments between us, the woman finally walked over to the counter...
Me: Me/ SC: Sucky Customer/ MC: My co-worker
Me: Hi, do you need help with looking for a particular movie Miss?
SC: Yeah, do you have "insert crappy kids movie here"?
Me: Hang on I'll check in the computer Miss...
SC: (5 second drawn out annoyed sigh) Hurry up....
(Oh yeah, this was not going to end well.....I check for said movie, we don't have it, but another store in the area does)
Me: I'm sorry Ma'am, but we don't carry that movie...
SC: (Under her breath) You've got to be f*#@*king kidding me....
Me: (Blink, blink) ....but one of our other locations has it....
SC: (Agitated) Which location?!?
I tell her said location...
SC: (Agitated sigh, shaking her head several times) I don't have time to go there....I live near *this* location....can't you have them send the movie here?!?
MC: I don't think this company can do that....
SC: (Now in full blown beeotch mode) Well have you ever *tried* to? Maybe if you just make a simple phone call you can find out, right?
MC: ....There's no need to have an attitude with me Ma'am....
At this point, you would think WWIII broke out, as this woman begins to shout loud enough about how her "F'ING SON KEEPS F'ING BEGGING ME FOR THIS F'ING MOVIE, SO I NEED IT RIGHT THE F NOW!" loud enough to draw my startled Assistant Manager out to the front.
AM: Is....Is everything allright ma'am?
SC: NO, EVERYTHING IS *NOT* OK! I NEED THIS F'ING MOVIE RIGHT NOW, AND THESE TWO STUPID F'S CAN'T JUST GET IT TO ME FROM ANOTHER STORE!
AM: Ma'am, if you curse at my employees again, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave....
SC: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ME TO LEAVE, CAUSE I'M LEAVING NOW! I HOPE THIS F'ING PLACE CLOSES DOWN! MOTHER F'ERS!
And with that, Bitchzilla stomps out, leaving me, my AM, and my co-worker in a stunned silence for 10 seconds. The kicker? And what got me and my AM to finally laugh? My co-worker finally just quipped: "Why would her son even *want* that movie? It sucks anyway...."
