I even go a step further. If they have room under the shelves (where a lot of stores store extra copies of movies that do not fit on the shelf) I actually put the fullscreen discs down here if I can without getting spotted
If I ever caught you doing that in a store I ran, I'd call the cops on you. That's called public mischief.
No, I can't do it. I just can't say what I really think about that. I'd get kicked off HTF for sure.
Rearranging a display is "public mischief"?? Oh, God, please stop! Oh, this hurts!
I guess that those people who pick up an item, decide that they don't want it, are too lazy to put it back in its place, and just leave it in another isle deserve the death penalty then.

Okay, I'll stop now...

If I ever caught you doing that in a store I ran, I'd call the cops on you. That's called public mischief. Live your own lives, and stop trying to foist your own holier-than-thou opinions on other people. Of course widescreen is better, but that doesn't make you better. Get over yourselves!If this was true, then everytime someone picked up a DVD that wasn't in the front of the rack, looked at it, and put it back, then they would be guilty too. Speaking of holier-than-thou and getting over yourself:
"Kettle, it's for you. Guy by the name of Pot, says you're black."
"Kettle, it's for you. Guy by the name of Pot, says you're black."
all you guys are doing is making more work for the person who's going to be stuck cleaning up after you.What does that mean? Explain "cleaning up"? It's not like the pan-and-scan versions are just being strewn over the floor. Otherwise, you've basically admitting that the company has a pro-pan-and-scan policy that needs to be corrected.
Otherwise, you've basically admitting that the company has a pro-pan-and-scan policy that needs to be correctedI ran into a related example of strange but true corporate policies regarding how DVDs are arranged on the shelf. At my local Media Play the associates will not move the DVD of the film "Gandhi" from the documentary section to the drama section. When I asked I was told that they are required to place the DVD in the section marked on the DVD by their corporate bosses. Apparently some uninformed corporate person thinks that the DVD of the film "Gandhi" is a documentary not a movie. (The DVD does include a documentary as an extra) So the poor underpaid associate mentioned above is just following his marching orders, good, bad , or indifferent.
What does that mean? Explain "cleaning up"?well as soon as the manager sees that someone has hid the p&s dvds behind the widescreen ones, an employee will have to go back and spend a significant amount of time rearranging them.
besides, i don't think tricking ignorant customers is really the best way to push widescreen.
If your a manager, and you order more DVD's based on what you see on the shelf at first glance, without really investigating what's really there, then you don't have any business being a store manager.Yes, and wouldn't it be nice everyone in the world did their job competently? There are definitely store managers out there who have no business being managers.
I'm just saying, it could happen.
i don't think tricking ignorant customers is really the best way to push widescreen.Tricking ignorant customers into thinking that there is no way to see a movie other than with a full TV screen is just as wrong, if not more so, yet apathetic (or perhaps just "pathetic") store managers do this all of the time.
You tell me which is worse.
