  • Attention tax refund SCs with wads of $100s...

    We are NOT a bank!

    Yes I'm looking right at you, the douchebag that paid for a $9.43 purchase with a damned Ben Franklin. We've seen an epidemic lately of customers making small ($25 or less) purchases and paying for them with $100s.

    Considering that product that we sell (video games and consoles), it's fair enough to assume we take in a fair bit of cash. Oftentimes paying with a large bill is not a problem, but this time of year we see a lot of people with large bills.

    Also, bitching and moaning when I ask for smaller bills will not endear you to me. I see the fucking 20s in your money clip, try using some of them.

    One more thing, do not try and give me any shit or demand that I break your $100 for you. I am under no obligation to make change for you and throwing a hissy fit will get you absolutely nowhere.

    There's a bank SIX freaking doors down, people! Either use that or deposit the money in your account beforehand and pay with some plastic.

    Also....

    We are NOT a rental service!

    On used games we offer a 7 day refund or exchange window if you are not happy with the game. This is because we can easily resell used games if need be and we understand not everyone is going to like every game we buy.

    So we had this one SC who bought three games. Six days later, she brought the back and exchanged them...

    Six days after that she did the same thing...

    Six days after that, she did it again...

    Six days after that...she tried to do it again. Finally my manager called her on it and said she would not be allowed any more exchanges. She was upset by this and said she was only bringing the games back because her kids beat them so fast. My manager kindly informed her this is not what the return policy is meant for and she will not be getting away with this again. She stormed off in a huff.

    Also...

    We are NOT a printing service!

    No I can't go back seven months and get you a copy of a receipt you lost. I also certainly can't do it if you bought it at another store in our chain since we would never have had that record to begin with. Although you say "I'm sure it must be in the system", you are mistaken. Our "system" doesn't work like that.

    I also can't print copies of game manuals for you. That is what they call copyright infringement. If you can't figure out how to play your game either get someone to help you, go online or do it the old fashioned way: just keep messing around with it until you figure out what the hell you're supposed to be doing. Seriously, it works.

    I also can't print out walkthroughs and/or cheat sheets off gamefaqs.com or any other sites for you. Not only do I not have access to these sites, we also SELL strategy guides and cheat code books so expecting me to give such info away for free (actually at a COST to the store when you consider the paper and ink) is pretty stupid.

    Ok I think I'm done venting for now.

    This was suggested to me by a friend. My reply was "That sounds kinda dickish."
    I have a...thing. Wanna see it?

      Um, Blockbuster rents games, don't they? Of course, you don't get your money back when you return them...

      Hell, the library might have games these days, for all I know...

        I know someone who did just that, and the same thing happened. He got really pissed off about that. He saw nothing wrong with it, but he also stands on street corners dressed up as Superman, and thinks nothing of it.

          I don't really think those are connected. I mean, who hasn't dressed up as Supes on their day off, and stood around in public?

          ...

          Anyone?

          Just me then, eh? Right...

            I noticed someone dressed up as Captain America standing streetside while visiting a friend. I shook my fist at the impostor, from the relative safety of my friend's backseat, for being a poor imitation of a dead super hero (He is still dead, right?), ostensibly advertising that tax return company that largely puts people out on the street dressed as the Lady Liberty...

                i had a co-worker once dress up in a spandex superman shirt... the scary part was that it wasn't long enough to cover his belly. Then he posed with a couple of actors dressed as gladiators (we were in rome) for a photo.


                and yeah, blockbuster has a giant section of games... only thing is... you have to pay per rental. the SC was just trying to only pay once ( cheapskate!)

                  the thing that got me laughing over this is... i'm playing a game i've beaten six times, and i have gamefaqs on another window for minikit locations!

                    You know what I hate? $.99 can of iced tea paid with $100. Or two people coming in back to back who pay for $.99 cans of soda with $100 on a sunday when I've barely opened up and don't have a whole bunch of change to begin with.

                    And then they bitch about the wait for change. I saw those $1 in your billclip, PAY FOR IT WITH THAT.

                      I had a guy come in once and want to pay with a $100. Problem was I had just dropped some money in the safe and didn't have enough change to give him. He wasn't happy about that and he argued that we didn't have a sign saying I didn't have change. Eventually he gave me a $20 and huffed, "I hope you know you're screwing me over!"

                        I unfortunately had to do that on my way in to work today.

                        Someone took my last 20 from the wallet, and all I had left was 2 100s and 2 1s. I got to the store, knowing I had money, when I got to the checkout I opened my wallet to the 4 bills. I told the cashier "I'm sorry." as I paid for a 12 dollar order with the 100. She laughed when she saw that I had the 4 bills.
                        I did not sell my soul to Satan. He does have a long term lease with the option to buy.

                          Weird, at first I thought she'd be involved in piracy (copy, crack and resell), but "her kids beat them so fast" makes her sound like a soccermom.
                          There are plenty of stores here which have adopted an "exchange once/no return" policy, if a customer exchanges a game they get a big stamp on the new receipt telling the new game can't be exchanged. There are reviews, previews and demo's of just about every game on the internet, so why should any customer have the "right" to try the full-version of a game?

                            I see those people. Either dressed up as the statue or Uncle Sam or some noise. I would honestly be homeless before doing that. That's the bottom rung on my ladder of jobs. (I would work WM before being homeless, but not before moving back in with my parents.)

                              And so I am reminded that I am awesome, because whenever the opportunity comes up for me to get big bills from the bank, I ask for 10s.
