So I was working today....

[ILovePapaSmurf]

<font color="purple">at the video store across the street and some guy comes out of the 'adult video' section holding up a video case and asks, 'Is this one for rent?' Clearly, it says right on the box '1 week $2.50.' So, I say, yes it is. Why don't you put the box back in its place, I'll take the video and cash you out. So, he goes ok, leans over the desk, points to a girl on the box and says, 'You know why I am buying this?' 'Why?' 'Because that is my ex-girlfriend from a couple years back.'

Why would someone tell me this? Is this a sign that I am going to be alone for the rest of my life? Or is it a sign that I should really start up my phone sex line? Any advice would be great.</font color>

He was probably just insecure and felt the need to justify his porn purchase to you (a girl) in some way, as to not seem pathetic.

By the way, when is that due back again? /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

<font color="purple">I could care less who is buying porn or not. I don't need to know what people do on their spare time. What does amaze me though, because of how observant I am, is how many tapes guys buy in one evening and come back the next day ready for more. But, anywho that is another story.

And Matt, its one week. Just remember to be kind and rewind. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif</font color>

I know exactly what you mean. I remember one day, I was in the video store, and a guy came out of the back carrying a stack of videos that went all the way up to his chin! I was dumbstruck. I'm certain that he died of dehydration.

<font color="purple">We offer a buy 2 get 1 free deal monday through thurs. and the guys really take advantage on that.</font color>

Jeex, when guys crank it up, they really crank it up. I for one have never been in a video rental strore. Don't know why, but I have a strange aversion to videos. I mean, I started watching off LD's, vcd's and dvd's.

I hate it when I rent porno and the cases stick together. It's kinda sick. Plus, the alcohol I use to sanitize my hands REALLY burns my pecker....

My favorite new scenario at the book store (where we sell a few racy periodicals), and say the only two people at the registers are me and girl. If a gentleman approaches the register with a selection of these gentleman's magazines they invariably go to my register. I even asked one girl working with me if she gives guys mean looks when this situation presents itself when she's the only person at the register. This is supposed to be a classy establishment after all.

It's pretty interesting the juxtapostion of magazines that these people purchase. Just one time I'd like to say, "That's one copy of Cigar Afficianado, one New York Times, one copy of Penthouse, Only 10's, 100% Naturals, and All Facials. Thank you and come back soon."

Do people ever purchase just the porn and nothing else? From what I see, whenever some one is buying a dirty mag, they have to buy a pack of gum or deodorant or something, as if the porno was an afterthought they had at the register.

I had another porn adventure today. A man in his 60's approaches my register with a local newspaper and asks, "Do y'all carry Playboy?" I reply in the affirmative and mention it is in our periodical section.

Fifteen minutes of silence.

"Would you like me to go get a copy for you, Sir?"
"Yeah, if you wouldn't mind."

I don't really consider Playboy too racy compared to what else we shelve at the store. However, if he was getting a copy of something like Saddle Bangers I probably would have considered that a bigger deal.

Playboy still qualifies as porn? Weird.

You work at a bookstore now? And you used to work at a Video Store. Thats what I am doing now. I worked at a video store and now am trying to score a job at a book store.

When I worked at the Video store we didnt have any PORN titles but we did have R-Rated Soft Core. THere was this one guy who was 300 pounds he would Rent Spy Kids and Some Soft-Core movie. But he would do this everyweek. Same day same movie. THis went on for 2 months

He still hasn't quit his day job, even when I try to convince him otherwise. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
