I'm doing 9 AM to 1:30 AM tonight for the stupid Dark Knight midnight launch. Then back at it at 9 AM 'till likely 7 PM.
-
Yeah, that sure beats a desk job huh?
RETAIL AM FAIL.
-
Look on the bright side! With the falling price of gas, these long hours should net you enough pay to make it all the way home!
-
retail :violin
-
well at least you have those movie savvy employees you always go on about to share the experience with.

I read that as "My shaft is so long I feel like Genghis Cohen!"
I am spending way too much time on the Bore. :(

Clearly you're not spending enough time at Evilbore, because things like that still upset you.

i'm sorry to hear that. I worked there when i was younger. I worked at hollywood video also, briefly.
-
hey willco, where are you living now?
-
I could've gotten a gig at Blockbuster, but I didn't like it and Hollywood gave me a bag full of money and some nice career opportunities. The only downside is that my home store was a dump and the other stores I help out with are a bunch of retail management rookies.
-
I live the in greater D.C. metropolitan area. I'm down the street from RoboJ if I'm correct!

Out of curiosity Willco, whatever happened with that dude who wasn't returning his vids due to the impending rapture? Were you there when he came back?
-
no but seriously willco if you come back down let me know. we can hang out
-
I've put in 11 hours today, working the last 3 from home. At least it wasn't all at the office.
-
but I didn't like it
why
-
Didn't like the field management I met with and I didn't quite care for the company direction. At least Hollywood Video knows the rental business is a dying industry and is propping up their game side sales.

True story from last night:
I went to grab a bite to eat and a small terrier came out of nowhere. She started jumping all over me. When I tried to pick her up to take her out of the freezing temperatures, she yelped - as if she was in pain. But then she followed me back to my store, so I took her in so she wouldn't freeze. I kept her in my office and found the owner information on her leash and contacted the owners. One of them eventually came and they were reunited.
But had I not been forced to stay late, I would've never left the store and the shopping center was empty by that time. Maybe it was fate that I stayed late, so I could find this lost dog.

Dark Knight is the biggest movie of the past 10 years. My home store did a couple hundred dollars of revenue midnight alone.

Hour no. 10 and counting here.
In about 10 hours I will be up again catching a flight to London, to repeat the same schedule there. God, I love working on a laptop, so much productivity!

I make so much money, and I barely get to spend it because they are paying my meals. :lol

It was mostly rentals at $5 a pop. I think I sold off seven of my pre-orders, all Blu-Ray for $30 (DVDs are $20).
Just got home an hour ago. 13 hour shift today. And my DM wants me to come in on my day off this week. I'm looking at a 70 hour work week. :(

Retail blughhhhhhh

And I didn't even have the balls to ask this chick out today that I've been swooning over for weeks now. And she even called me yesterday. And I spoke to her at home today. I suck.
