Flannel-wearing Michigan rednecks vs. Circuit City

Crippler · 12-24-2002, 02:13 AM

So I'm in the aforementioned store this morning, looking at the video games, when I see this unkempt, tattered-flannel-wearing hick, who was ceaselessly bitching at what appeared to be a store manager about the pricing label on a copy of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. They're conversation goes something like this;

Redneck: You betta gi' this game to us for this much. Michigan law says that you have to give us the game at the price indicated on the label.

Manager: I'm sorry sir, but I cannot mark the game down to $9.99.

Redneck: I don't CARE if you're sorry. You HAVE to give us this game at this price. If it says this on the box, you have to.

Manager: Sir, if you'll notice on the label, the number '4' on the price has been scratched off...

Redneck: Where are you gettin' a '4' out of that? There's no '4', and if there was supposed to be a '4', then your people should've caught that! But you have to give us this game for the stickered price!

His equally unkempt wife quickly joins her husband to berate the poor store manager. Twisting my head to look at the game Cletus was holding, I see that the sticker says "$9.99", but I can easily tell, even with my nearsightedness, that the first number on the price sticker has been scrathed off. I look at the other X-box games, and on some of their price stickers, the ink on the price has been partially scratched off.

At this point, I just want to gut these two stupid donkey rednecks. Having worked in retail, I understand what it's like to have to deal with these kinds of avoidable, yet still ridiculous scams. I mean, you people can natter on about how these two should have the right to get the game for that price, but believing that just goes to show that we humans really are exploitative and selfish to the point where it's beyond petty.

What do you people think?

PunkMC · 12-24-2002, 02:18 AM

I agree.. also having worked in retail..I've had to deal with dumb people like this. I've told everyone I know that it should be a law that EVERYONE has to work in retail at least once in their life, just for the holiday season so they know what it's like to be on the other end of the bitching.

Travis Meekz · 12-24-2002, 02:20 AM

yeah, that is why I don't want to work with customers ever again

and

it's capitalism's fault. he's probably a hard worker in some shit job, so yeah, he deserves his Metal Gear 2

Faggotologist · 12-24-2002, 02:22 AM

So what happened? Did he get it for $9.99?

My brother works at Target....he said this lady came in to the store screaming for a manager. When they got one for her...she started yelling about the holiday sign in the front of the store. (The sign is like 'happy holidays from Target'...featuring maybe 10 white people 2 black, 1 asian...you get the picture). She said she wanted the sign taken down or she was going to sue the store for discrimination. She wanted more black people on the sign. The sign is still up...

Crippler · 12-24-2002, 02:26 AM

Just a week ago, at my restaurant job, I had to deal with another such customer. This white lady (who spoke with a wigger accent and weighed about 300 pounds) kept demanding to have her chicken recooked because there 'was black grill shit' on it. She claimed to have worked at a diner before, and all the cooks had to do was clean their grill, and her food would come out fine. So the cooks cleaned the grill, and she STILL returned the food. She started throwing temper tantrums, pounding her fist against the table and swearing up a storm (she had a girl with her who looked like she was about 9, WTF?!). I mean, yes, our food's shitty, but was is worth a loud hissy-fit?

I guess she got what she wanted...the manager let the lady left without paying.

P.S.: At Circuit City, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance costs $49.99.

Dr. F: I never was sure whether or not the store manager finally gave them that price. He stormed off after arguing with the two hicks for about 10 minutes, then they got in line to pay. I don't know if their got it at the exploitation price or not.

first they want to sit in the front of the bus, then they want their own signs...WHAT'S NEXT FOR THESE PEOPLE?!??!?!?!

PunkMC · 12-24-2002, 02:28 AM

Im sure they did.. sometimes it's just easier to let them have it just to get them the hell outta the store.

I can't tell if you're serious or not. Sarcasm can be hard to interpret on the web.

No, but you're a Nintendo fan.

I can however relate to the main sentiment of this thread. We get a lot of redneck losers who are always bitching about how expensive stuff is. "$50 for a game?! Hey can i get it for $40? I don't have no $50 for this here Gamestation game." Then they proceed to buy like 30 Genesis games for thier 6 runny nosed offspring.

Hahahahahaha....*pounds fist*

Though I sincerely doubt hicks would actually use their video games the conventional way.

King of the Horseflies · 12-24-2002, 05:03 AM

seafood attracts rednecks, old people, and all kinds of minorities. all of which complain about prices.
i relate to the story on 2 levels. the retail thing, and i work in michigan. hick lookin dopes, everywhere. this thread has inspired me to post about my complaints/observations about the many types of ppl who humor me and piss me off on a daily basis.

even today, this one guy missed the GIGANTIC numbers that live lobster was 6.99$ a pound. he pointed to the teeny numbers on the sign--1.25 - 1.50 (the avg. weight of the lobsters) and was like "does that mean that them critters are 1.25$ a pound?"
dumbass.

black people like catfish, especially if its on sale. a lot ask if i can get them a job workin' "back in da feeish"

hispanics always want "freebies"... "hey man, those little crab legs. you get me those for free? what if i buy 2 lbs? can i get them for free my man?" they come in big fucking groups, especially in the summer (migrants)... usually only one can habla engles.

orientals... fuck. "me wah two beeg la-sters, an' den, two bags o moe-ssals."

rednecks... *flannel or NASCAR shirt* "gimme 2 lbs of that creamed herring. you ever had that? thats good stuff. you should try some. good fer ya. by golly its good stuff. can i have a little sample? gal, its mighty fine. price a little high, but i steel git it, its good stuff...." you can hear one of his many kids screaming somewhere, untamed, unsupervised in the juice aisle

old people... [slowly/quietly] "i WHould like to get about 3 strips of WHitefish that all WHeigh about 10 ounces each." they know the scales only measure in pounds-they just like to fuck with our heads.

done. now someone can post the talking seagulls pic.

fuck off. For the little money that person makes, I'm not gonna listen to some redneck bitch and moan for an hour while I'm busy. Fuck it, it's a corporation. They can have the fucking game just leave me alone so I can go outside, bitch about that shitty job and smoke a joint.

I'm gonna take a shit in a box, wrap it, and give it to you tonight so you think I actually got you something

Fuck the corporation. They can have that 5.50 an hour. I want to yell at some rednecks.

i get this on a daily basis, this guy complained just yesterday that he wanted his USB hub for 39.99 instead of 49.99, i explained to him that the 10 dollars was going towards fast food that wouldnt be good for his arteries and that it's probably better off if he gave it to us before he did something he would later regret doing. he got pissed off, made me call a manager, and the manager made me do a return, and a store credit re-ring of the thing, which made no sense, so i did it any ways, leaving 10 dollars of store credit floating around.

in the end, i had about 200 reciepts for returns and re-rings, and only one usb hub for 10 dollars off, with some republican asshole who absolutely needed it for 10 dollars off.
