Cashier at Best Buy stuck it to me today...


I went to Best Buy today to pick up Master and Commander CE and Wild Things Unrated (I live with 3 other roommates and they all chipped in to see the Unrated version.)

I had the girl at the register in Best Buy stick it to me about buying Wild Things Unrated.

She kept trying to push the second one on me saying that Susan Ward was naked in it and then listed other movies for me to get that had "lots of naked girls for you."

She then turned to my girlfriend, who was standing with me and does not care about what I buy, and asked her if it pissed her off that I would be buying a movie with naked girls.

I was pissed.

Sure, I was buying Wild Things for the skin, but I don't need crap from an employee of the store who I am giving my hard earned money give me crap about what I buy.

Have any of you had embarassing or frustrating experiences similar to this??

I should have just walked out and taken my business elsewhere.

You should have told her "Your first mistake was thinking that opinion mattered, your second mistake was thinking that you did."

That would have shut her up quick, then you should have filed a complaint with the manager and walked out without buying anything.

Damn right! It's better than yours.

Definitely would have talked to a manager about it and tried to have gotten her discplined. F**kin BB employees are the worst and that is why I never go there.

Went completely over his head, she was coming on to you two.
Go back, buy another copy, and stand in her line. Maybe lightning will strike twice.

This is an option, be open minded

I've never had that happen to me and I don't know how I'd react if it did. I might say something like, "Of course I want to see films with naked women. You big dummy!"

Seriously, I used to buy Playboy DVDs and Playboy magazines quite regularly at Hastings and I was never hassled by anyone. If they don't want people buying it, then why do they sell it? You had every right to get pissed off. That woman was a big-mouthed bitch and a damned idiot as well.

And I, too, purchased the "Wild Things" (Unrated Edition) DVD today.

Yeah, I generally and by that I mean never want the person ringing up my purchase to give me their opinion on said purchase. Although, the guys that think she might have been trying to come on to you and your girlfriend could have a point.

Could?

I'm buying 7 copies today, and trust me I won't blow it like Justin did.

This translates to, Do you think your boyfriend would mind if we kissed?

I think it was flirting too. Harmless flirting.

But onto more pressing matters . . . which one of the 3 of you keeps the DVD?
