I was laid off from GameSpot back in January 2023. I do not know how to code, and I cannot fix your account.

Old Blog Entry: Comic Book Store Work

The horrors of comic book customers..... Part 1

It's -20f outside, well with the windchill that is. Man, that is frigid.... It's also horridly windy out, yes! So when you walk into a store of any kind, except for Nextel, those people don't have souls, please close the door.

Such case was observed mere minutes ago at my Graham Cracker Comics when a woman or girl, more of a manchild or womanchild in this case entered my store. She fully opened the door and jumped in, the door was kept open by the wind, great.... I closed it. She comes up to me, handing me 3 trades of Star Wars Clone Wars Adventures, none of the volumes in order... In fact she purchased 1, 5 & 10. Beginning, Middle and End, nice. She tells me she wants to collect all of them in the way only a womanchild could, I smile and say, great, but you have 1, 5 & 10. She asks where the rest are, I blindly say, "We'll have more on Wednesday" desperatly trying to avoid a long conversation about how kick ass she thinks Star Wars is. She says ok and leaves.

This is one of those situations where I am not going out of my to help a customer... I failed to mention she was trying to flirt with me, yeah that makes this all the more creepier. Sometimes I wish I had a wedding ring on.

Keep in mind, 80-85% of our customer base kicks ass, they are cool and fun to be around.... But the rest of that pie, oh god, I shutter to think.... They are the worst or the worst. I'll keep you updated on ALL the horrid customers today.
