Less than ten minutes in (six minutes, fifty seconds, actually) and already I'm like "Damn, Amanda's right again, that IS our life at work..."
Sir - We're gonna have to ask you to leave the store...
Ah, and here's the typical "Anyone who follows orders is just like the Nazis" comment...
DEFINATELY sounds like working at Movie Gallery...
"Honesty through Paranoia"... sounds like an interesting concept...
Sounds like some of the conversations between me and Amanda during slow times at work...
DANTE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION!
Ah, yes, the typical mistaken belief of so many humans that 'oral sex' and 'anal sex' are not really sex... People, look at the second word in each phrase. It's still 'sex' no matter what you put in front of it.
Randal... you're one evil bastard... TEACH ME, OH MASTER!
Boy, I really am hearing conversations from work in this movie...
Okay... woo-hoo-boy... Well, this is a lot like whenever someone's looking for an adult movie in reverse - the customer's okay, but those of us behind the counter are uncomfortable...
Man, Dante, talk about being desprate...
Cat... using the litter box... on the counter... in front of a customer...
Hey, someone who sings worse than everyone seems to think I do!
Man, Randal's "Jedi" argument reminds me of some of the weirder shit we've discussed at work...
Though I think the customer's counterargument is more frightening..
Jay's shoplifting!
That really happens, you know. Customers think that just because you work behind a counter at a movie rental place that you know things about movies. Truth is, I watch LESS movies since I started working at Movie Gallery than I did beforehand.
Oh, if only we could ban customers from the store... (there are some that are more trouble than they're worth...) and maybe a couple of our fellow employees (Trainee Girl, for one...)
"I give him five more minutes, then I'm calling the cops" - I've heard that one a few times when a car's been sitting in the parking lot for a while.
"I don't need this. I'm not even supposed to be here today." -- I've said it (and other similar things) myself.
I'm not sure which is more disturbing: the guidence counselor looking for the perfect dozen eggs' behavior or the woman who recognized the behavior's job...
*Blinks*
Oh, my God...
Dante and the pricing gun... I've done that SAME thing myself!
That guy definately reminds me of some of the customers I've dealt with over the past eight months...
*Blinks and jaw drops...*
Now this is just getting scary... I have to deal with the "Do you have any new movies in?" (while standing right there at them) customers and the "Do you have that one with that guy who was in that movie that was out last year?" (not shitting you, they really do say things like that) customers on a daily basis...
You know, I just had a thought - Clerks (and probably Clerks 2) should be used as training material for new employees at Movie Gallery (or at least Highway 2)...
I feel your pain, Dante...
Rooftop Hockey, now THAT'S a sport!
Oh, if only I could challenge pain-in-the-ass customers to duels (okay, so they're facing off in hockey, same concept.)
Ah, yes, the customers that want to tell you how to do things and do so with a story that has nothing to do with anything...
And the customers that seem to think they deserve freebies simply because they're customers...
Dude, we've kinda figure out by this point what you're REALLY planning on doing back there...
Let's see one of Dante's ex's is getting married, another one just died, and Randal wants to go to the dead one's wake to meet girls...
What the hell happened in there?
Jesus Christ, Randal! You knocked over the casket!
Okay, do people buy nothing but cigarettes?
Personally, I'm with Randal. It doesn't matter how polite you are to the customers, you always will end up with ones that are pissed at you and "will never come here again", so you might as well have fun at your job.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to HELL! And speaking of, what the hell is the suit and tie git in the background doing...?
Randal did it, actually...
Ugh... So reminds me of some days at work...
Dude... she's engaged and you just found out she was sleeping with another guy while you were dating. Add that to the fact that you're dating someone else and it comes to one very simple question;
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HUGGING HER?
I may sound a lot like Iggy in saying this, but white folks have no right listening to hip-hop and rap, Jay.
Uh, technically she doesn't have a boyfriend, what she has is a fiance.
Ah, parents - they bring you into this world and damn if you don't end up wanting to take them out.
Wait a second, Dante and Caitlen want to introduce Sang and Veronica in hope that they'll hit it off leaving them free to date each other? Is it just me or does that sound like something out of Ranma 1/2?
So.... How are you planning on telling this to Veronica, Dante?
I finally get that joke Amanda keeps making!
Why do I have a feeling that old guy with the porno mags died and she just screwed a corpse?
I was right... Man, this is gonna be an interesting set of reports...
SILENT BOB SPOKE!!!
Oh, shit... RANDAL, YOU MORON!
Man, Randal, I'd be moving to Russia or something if I were you, cause Dante's gonna KILL you...
RUMBLE!
Almost feel sorry for the poor bastard who has to open tomorrow...
Heh, at Movie Gallery, the place DOES fall apart if me and/or Amanda aren't there...
You know... Randal's right.
And damn, that really IS about what a day at Movie Gallery is like...
