A couple years back when I began working at barnes and noble, I was working the cash register one time when some scary looking guy with tattoos and a shaved head and a venom shirt came to buy his shit. I said something like "Venom, nice shirt", and he was silent and his face kept the same angry blankness as it had before.

People suck.

I've told a few people I liked their shirt and had them treat me with the same indifference. Maybe it's because I don't really look like a metalhead so they think I'm a loser for talking to them.
But yeah, it does suck when you're just trying to be nice and people try to act all bad ass and ignore you.

It made my hatred for mankind increase ten fold

I hate when people compliment my shirt. I never know what to say either. Actually some dude did it to me yesterday at Newbury Comics cause we both had Vital Remains shirts on. What do you do in a situation like that high five?

You say "thanks", Kevin.

I have a solution

stop wearing heavy metal shirts

I did. But then I feel like a tool. Like now I should be pals with this guy. Everyone should just stop with the fucking compliments.

Ahhh, dude, did you have to ask every customer if they wanted a membership card? That was the worst, I think. People always thought we were trying to pull one over on them or something because it costs 25 bucks per year and you get 10% off everything. Every once in a while someone would do the elementary math problem and think they are really smart and get a clever grin on their face and say something like "Ah, well that means that I'd have to spend 250 dollars a year at your store before I'd start saving money now doesn't it?" It's not a big fucking mystery, fuck I hated all of those people.

If someone likes my shirt, I at least say thanks, I only ignore people if it's obvious they're assholes. I was walking out of a Denny's one night, with a Misfits shirt on, and this little fat kid in an ICP shirt said "Cool shirt". I didn't even look at him I just kept walking. Little fucking Juggalo queer.

Well the thing is I must think my shirt is cool or I wouldn't be wearing it. I don't need a stranger to remind me my shirts not gay.

i don't mind when people compliment me on a shirt. it was definitely cooler back in the day when metal wasn't mainstream. most of the time it was rare to see someone wearing a metal shirt so it was nice to acknowledge a similar taste in music. i see metal shirts all the time now so it's nothing special. some girl complimented me on my opeth shirt last week and i said thanks and kept walking. opeth is so close to the mainstream now that it didn't surprise me when she said "nice shirt! i love opeth!" if it was before 2003, it would have carried more weight.

It did indeed suck

i love when people completely miss the point of my shirts. i was walking to the car when i heard some guy say behind me "he's a good guy...that al gore." i thought he was just talking on his cell phone or something, but then i realized i was wearing my goreality shirt that says "gore is our reality" on the back, so i turned around and he was like "oh, i thought you were supporting al gore. i should have known it's halloween time so all you kids are wearing scary shirts and stuff. al gore is a good guy anyway!"

i'm going to start the trend of looking at peoples' shirts and saying "woah, dude, that shirt sucks, awesome"

ha, al gore. what an idiot.

i should have told him it's al gore's death metal band that spreads world awareness and invented the internet.

I adhered to that method until I got secret shopped and didn't ask the person, so I got a written warning and was told that if it happened again I would most likely be fired.

Haha, fuck them

I made sure I quit without calling in on a really busy day




toggletoggle post by dreadkill  at Oct 23,2006 8:17pm
ha, i quit circuit city right before busy season. they called me the next day and said "you're supposed to be working now." i told them i was supposed to be working the day before too but i didn't want to work there anymore. they were shocked.
