Title: Weirdest non-Rapture related customer incident at the store (Prole will love it)
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 12, 2008, 11:01:07 AM
A middle-aged white woman returning a full season of Gilmore Girls, came in the store angry.  Totally enraged.  She tells me as a woman purchaser of rental items and videos (exact words) that she could not stand that pornography we were trying to sell in a store frequented by women.  She pointed to a rack of Maxim and Blender magazines near the cashwrap.  She railed against objectifying women and if we were to do so, we should give equal rack space to barely clothed men.  I told her that if she felt so passionately about the subject, that she should contact corporate customer care (and I provided the number), as they dictate specifically what goes up and in what order in corporate marketing guidelines.

She took the number and walked away.

She picked up another stack of Gilmore Girls DVDs and said, "These will be the last movies I ever rent here, and if you could work in such a sexist environment with no objections, then calling this dumb number will do nothing!  It's totally sick what you do here."

I diplomatically told her that the placement of marketing items was not my decision, nor my boss' (she wanted to speak with the DM) and she called me a pervert.  She said other women feel the same way and left mumbling about how I worked for an evil company.

Then some old black guy came up and started laughing.  I asked him what's up and he was like, "Only white people [points to Maxim] would consider this pornography!"

Was she ugly? It always seems to me that the women who are the most vehemently pro-feminist, anti "objectifying women" types are buttugly and butthurt nobody is attracted to them...

There is nothing that makes these people more mad than not getting a rise out of you.
Good jon Wilco, way to keep your cool.

Maybe she was angling to get some free shit.  Like giving her a bunch of free rentals as social justice for the oppressive patriarchy.

Even if there were barely clothed male magazines in the store, she'd still whine about shit.

Then again, she rented Gilmore Girls so her sanity is uncertain.

You should've told her that "totally sick" would be running a bondage midget prostitution ring/meth lab out of your garage.

 :rofl  Poor Willco


I can't remember if I've told this on here or not, but I had the exact same thing happen to me while working retail at my friend's video game store. The woman was blowing a gasket over a Tomb Raider calender that we had in the store. I made the poor mistake of chuckling at first, thinking she was kidding. She spent the next 20 minutes balls-out screaming at me about the evils of pornography and my contribution to the corruption of the innocent.

Needless to say, the calender stayed and despite her indignation, she continues to shop there. Now I just feel bad for her adult son, who still lives at home with her.
