Fuck you, Borders dude!

[Ki'esha Foxx]

This isn't about movies or TV or anything like that, but I just wanted to rant and rave about this for a bit.

I was at Borders a while ago and went to use one of the computers to do a search. The employees I saw all were busy helping other people, and I was really just browsing so I didn't want to interrupt any of them. Just as I hit the search button, this employee comes up behind the counter, gives me what appeared to be the stink eye, and said in a real nasty, snippy tone, "Can I help you?"

I was so shocked by his attitude that I hesitated before answering him. This guy came out of nowhere and acted like I was touching the fucking Ark of the Covenant when I was on the computer. There was a sign on the monitor that clearly said "For Customer Use Only", so why was he so uptight with me? There was no apparent reason for him to act that way, especially when I wasn't bothering anybody and not breaking any store rules. Maybe he was having a rough morning or something, but that's still no excuse to cop an attitude with customers. I'm sure we've all worked at jobs we've hated, but I for one never took out my frustrations or bad days on other people.

Now that I read back over this, this does seem like a pretty ridiculous thing to rant about, but little things like that irritate me.

That sucks. This is not a movie based rant though so it will be closed.

Guys that work at Borders are usually closet homosexuals...NTTIAWWT.

Should have just told him, "Help me by fucking off."

Barnes and Noble is better anyway and their employees are generally nice.

Reminds me of an experience I had at FYE.
You know those computers they have so you can listen to the CD a bit before you buy them?

I decided to try it, picked up those headphones (with enough earwax stuff inside of them to make a six pack of votive candles), and tried to access the CD but nothing came up.

Swiped it several times, pressed the buttons on the thing, but nothing.

HERE COMES THE FYE REPRESENTATIVE!

I got:

"Did you do anything to this CD?"
"This NEVER happens. Just my luck! Unbelievable! (Like it was my fault the thing wasn't working!)

And then the rep didn't return for TEN minutes.
So I waited for him to skip back over with a brand new CD and I said "Thanks for nothing", exiting the store and never returning to that FYE.

If I were a younger Rusty, I would've cursed him out, but I'm refined and classy now.

FYE = Fuck You Everybody!
