Let me set the scene. Girlfriend and I are renting a video. Video store has two registers one on each side of the single exit door. Manger (M) and Female Clerk (FC) are to the left of the door, Male Clerk (MC) to the right.
Right as we go to check out at MC, Gansta Dude starts talking to FC and M about The Mist. Gansta Dude is going on and on asking how scary it was, how he heard it was the scariest movie ever, etc. Both M and FC tell Gansta Dude that they have heard nothing positive about it.
At about this time MC calls M over to his register, because he cannot remove the safety bar holding our movie shut.
M heads over and Gansta Dude is still chatting away about The Mist with FC. He is now yelling across the store at Gansta Girl about the movie as well. Despite hearing how terrible it was, they decide to rent it. Gansta Girl starts pestering FC about some unknown deal to get free popcorn. Once FC tells Gansta Girl that no deal like this exists, Gansta Girl starts waving microwave popcorn tubs at FC and asking all sorts of questions about making the popcorn.
Finally M and MC (who have been distracted by the broken dvd case this whole time) free our dvd just as Gansta Girl and Dude leave with their movie.
As soon as we get back to our car it hits me - the Gangsta duo had to be pulling some sort of scam. One of them was always asking any employee who was not helping another customer inane questions, all while being relatively nice.
So, does it sound to everybody like they were up to something?
