A long time ago, I worked at Blockbuster Video, and for those that don’t know – it was open 356 days a year from 10am – midnight. One year I had to work Christmas morning, and there were people waiting in the parking lot before it even opened. I was cranky about having to work so I had no filter with customers. As I was opening the doors at 10, people lined up to come in.
Woman: I’m surprised you’re open on Christmas.
Me: Yeah, I guess people have to come get movies so they don’t have to talk to their family.
Woman: (surprised) Well, we’re here because we got a game machine for our kids and want to rent games for them.
Me: So instead of just ignoring them for 2 hours, you give them games so you can ignore them all day?
She was wide-eyes and walked away quickly. I’m honestly surprised she didn’t report me.
