hollybrookeBut first...there's a Midnight Madness showing tonight. I'm not going, and I'm not going to be at our show either, mainly because I open tomorrow and I reeeeeally need some sleep. I'm so frickin' exhausted, it's not funny.
Get this. Five minutes before we closed last night (me and Carissa), we get this call from some guy begging us to stay open fifteen more minutes so he could get his ass to the store for one of those driving defense DVDs AND to open up an account to rent one out. We can't stay open past midnight--that's just store policy, and we can NOT keep open just for a specific customer. I don't care if you're frickin' Britney Spears or Queen Elizabeth, it ain't happening. (And if you're Britney Spears and you expect me to keep Blockbuster Video open just for you, you're also getting the middle finger flung your way.) This guy starts going on about "But I need to have those results by noon tomorrow!" OH DARN! Should have thought of that earlier instead of putting it off so long! Then right when I shut down the registers, we get another phone call from some dude who asked what time we closed. "Midnight, we're closed right now, as a matter of fact," I say. He goes on, "OH NO! Can you PLEEEASE stay open an extra five minutes?" I tell him we can't do that, I've already shut down the registers. "Well, can't you bring them back up?" I tell him, "No, I can't do that, our store daily reports are already running." He says, "Well, can you hold aside a copy of Troy, Without A Paddle, and The Village for me to pick up in the morning?" I tell him, "No, we can't do that, it's store policy. You can call first thing in the morning and ask then if anyone's turned any in." Oh darn! You waited till the absolute fucking last minute, and now you expect me to bend over backwards?! First we take away late dues, now this?!!
This week, I rented Catwoman, Cellular, The Forgotten and Friday Night Lights. I'll post reviews when I'm done with them all.
