Two fucking decades and nothing's changed. I still see those same people everyday at GameStop.

I love manufacturer's warranties and hotlines, though. It's such a relief to direct an angry customer out of my face.

I hate the "I'm sorry I'm so stupid" people, because all I EVER want to say is "YES, YES YOU ARE, YOU COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO PLUG IT IN YOU BLOODY CUNT" and that's not how you keep your job.

Yeah, I've had moms offer me pastries and dads offer me $20 tips. It's against company policy to accept tips, though. The best bit is when they take the refusal personally.

I've never said "troubleshoot" in actual conversation.

I think I will now. Inappropriately.

You mean that it wasn't standard protocol for all 80's-90's training videos to feature rap? Wendy's well and truly raised the bar, and no one even bothered to top them. It's no wonder our economy is crashing when no one's being taught how to do their jobs properly.

Imagine, that could've been a rapping Dave Thomas.

Wonderful, simply wonderful. I so desperately wanted to respond with a link to 2girls1cup set to this song via Tubedubber, only the former very obviously isn't on Youtube. Even my simplest fantasies are beyond fulfillment.

It's a damn catchy tune, though! I'll watch the rest of them tomorrow.

I truly wish I was old enough to fully appreciate the nineties. It's funny because I feel completely ostracized from this decade.
