I guess even comic nerds can be SCs.
Welcome.

That is the comic book version of the running joke my magician friends and I have, which is unfortunately rather close to the truth. To wit: "Hey, do you know that trick with the card and the guy?" Yeah, we actually do get stuff like that. I guess that is par for the course when you blow minds for a living. (Bonus points to anyone who gets that reference.)Quoth stephenr View PostLeave a comment:

Firstly: Welcome!
Secondly: What did the first guy want you to do? Pull the issue out of his ear? I think the yellow streak would depreciate the value.Leave a comment:

Please pronounce my name correctly
Hi, my name is StephenR and I work for a local comic store. I am a long time lurker. I work the register usually and handle the calls. I sometimes have had to pull out comic and magazine boxes because the fool that worked last night didn't pull any out. That is another rant for another time. Figured I should share some of the horrors that has happened at this store.
Please pronounce my name correctly.
SC= Sucky Customer
StephenR= Myself
The customer approached the counter with his purchases and had a few questions for me. Not too sucky but you would be wrong.
SC: Do you have anymore copies of Batman Battle for the Cowl issue three, Stefan?
StephenR: We have no more in stock but we should be getting some more on a shipment coming in on Tuesday.
SC: I can't wait wait that long.
StephenR: I am sorry but that is only three days away.
SC: That isn't good enough. I want to talk to a manager and get you fired.
StephenR: The manager left a few hours ago. Your best bet to catch him is tomorrow between 10AM and 4PM as he will be here.
SC: Give me his phone number. I want to talk to him right now to complain about how sucky of an employee you are.
StephenR: I am not giving you his phone number. My name is StephenR(Stephen is pronounced Steven.)
SC: I am not going to purchase anything until my demands are met. I have been collecting comic books longer then you.
StephenR: Sorry sir but there really isn't anything else I can do for you.
SC: Your people skills suck. You should be fired.
After another 10 minutes of this, the customer left with his purchases which shows something there. Even us comic book geeks can't resist reading the books. He did complain about me but the manager took my side and told him that the shipment was Tuesday and to come back then.
Can you be anymore vague?
Not really a sucky customer but this confused me.
SC: Stupid Customer
StephenR: Myself
StephenR: Hello, thank you for calling Comic Book Store. My name is StephenR. Anything I can help you with?
SC: Yeah, I was wondering if you had that comic book series in with that guy that wears a mask?
**Thoughts.. Hmm... Daredevil.. Spider-Man... Captain America... Deadpool.. Little help.. **
StephenR: What hero are you looking for?
SC: You know.. The guy with brown hair.. He is part of a squad..
StephenR: Hmm.. Green Lantern?
SC: Thats it.. You stock Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps?
StephenR: Yes..
SC: Great I will be in later.
The customer didn't show up that day.
If you don't want the book..
This is another thing I don't like. People taking the book and reading it and deciding they don't want it. It decreases the books value because the spine gets bent. Another issue is the people that place the books wherever they want to. We have a system. It goes in alphabetical order so I shouldn't see Captain America with Uncanny X-Men. I shouldn't see Young Avengers with Green Lantern. You get the idea. I shouldn't see the graphic novels mixed up either because it takes forever to get the issues set up. It isn't fun.
That is all from me for now.
