eight1echo Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 me Yesterday a father and his young (5ish) daughter were in and she was pointing out album covers on the wall asking what they were, like "Why is that baby swimming for money in the water?" or whatever. She eventually pointed out Dead Kennedys Plastic Surgery Disasters and the Dad gave me this look like "wtf am I supposed to say", he just said he would tell her when she is older. kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Last friday a guy came back to the store and returned a record because the first side crackled a bit... I love my job, but I hate the people I'm dealing with. FlippingOut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Last friday a guy came back to the store and returned a record because the first side crackled a bit... I love my job, but I hate the people I'm dealing with. This happens to me a lot as well. But thankfully I meet more nice people than idiots! Perhaps I'm helped by the fact that I work only twice a week there, so I don't get tooooo sick of it. I absolutely find it hilarious when people totally oblivious to records come in and are like 'wow these discs still exist!', or like 'are these laser discs??' And I get totally annoyed whenever older people come in and say something snobbish like 'all you kids only listen to digital music nowadays'...

billya Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 One time, on the night before Rex Manning day, I heard that my store was going to be consumed by a chain store. In an effort to save the store I took that day's cash to Atlantic City to try and win enough to save the store, but I lost it all. Stupid dice. kjkenney, TheGhostOfRandySavage, bridley and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 That sounds pretty damn interesting. Singapore is a great place for tourists! For record stores, not that much though... The stuff at the place I work at is mostly used 80s 'trash'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandy Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Mostly 'Merican music or foreign stuff from that area? Mostly American/British/mainstream stuff. The standard dad-rock stuff from the 70s, Beatles, 80s new wave, pop, and then there's indie/mainstream titles from today as well. The basic stuff such as The Black Keys, Ellie Goulding, The Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Jack White etc. I wish there was more punk/hardcore/metal stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I used to work at Cheapo records in Uptown MPLS, 2003-ish. Working on mixing the day's three shopping carts worth of used cds into stock when Prince and his then wife walked in and browsed for a good half hour. Got to ring him up and everything. He is very tiny. Other than that, I always worked the closing shift(4-midnight), so there was always fucking drunk idiots trying to sell obviously stolen music/movies. Didn't pay for music for as long as I worked there, though. Almost made up for the 6.50/hr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think the only in-store celebrity encounter I've had was Pierce Brosnan, he bought Arcade Fire and U2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
