Re: The Ranting/Debate Thread
I actually *do* have two stories on NotAlwaysRight *laughs* but they stem from my days at Media Play. Maybe it's one. I know I've submitted three, but not all of them went up. One of my favorites, though, did get up, which was the guy that couldn't understand why the DiscDoctor (a device that buffs out scratches on CDs) couldn't fix his disc. My manager attempts to walk him through the process by asking him what he did. "Well, I put both halves in the tray and--" *manager facepalms* Thankfully it was over the phone.
And yeah, I've got a handful of customers that are lucky I do believe in not doing things that would get me/the company in trouble. Granted, that tends to go out the window when the store is closing (like when I was at MP and Borders). I come home, rant, kill things on my television, and generally feel better after either that or a nap, so it's all good. I've been in retail long enough that, while it'll get to me for, like, an hour after it happens, it's turning into water and a duck's back.
