I got the Swans EP. Does anyone know exactly how limited it is? A number? Just curious.

Anyone got any news on Deja being released online? My local place couldnt get it. If not I'll totally pay extra (like everyone else in the world) if someone is willing to pick one up for me.

Wait why/how does this look bad lol

What's the point? If you're dumb enough to pay the mark up, at least you'll have a nice little reminder of how many inches deep someone went into your ass as they raped you. 

Nah, this is a Deja Entendu lyric book, didn't they give out those Devil & God lyric books? Me and Brandon camped out for way more than this, it was a really fun time.

J White is letting people blow him in the recording booth.

aha. fuck these people.
 

The way allocation generally works is they cut everyone's order %wise, so if they're running on a 10% fulfillment rate.. if you ordered 10, you're getting 1... if you ordered 100 you're getting 10.

BWHAHA

I like how every year around RSD record store employees crawl out of the woodwork with god complexes. Do you even have health benefits bruh?

As a retail worker I know that any retail worker I have to deal with hates me so I don't get too butthurt when they aren't nice to me.

Completely agree with this. I work in retail too and as I and many others do our best to help and accommodate people it really is up to the consumer to get up and just do their part. Especially for rsd there is no way of knowing if you're going to get what you've ordered in until the day or two before. Regardless of how many people call however many shops there will always be a line of people ready and prepared for whatever release they're looking for.

I've been stuck in retail (part time) for nearly 4 years. I know my field of study will have it's own issues but I seriously cannot wait until I can get out of retail and hopefully never have to interact with the general public again for my work.

Here's the thing.  People who work retail are, like, working 4-6 hour shifts.  That's, like, a LONG time to be interacting and dealing with customers.  Maybe if you were someone who came in during the first hour, it'd make sense that they wouldn't already be infuriated by your presence in their store.  But by hour 2 or, like, 3, they've been talking to customers for 2-3 hours.  When you come in and ask a question, they are tired of customers.  Also, you are a whiner.  I know this because it makes more sense that all randomly selected customers who enter a shop would be whiners rather than one employee complaining about all those customers would be poor at knowing their responsibilities as a retail worker.  Also, I'm angry and you are a thing on the internet I can attempt to knock down and undress to make myself feel nominally better.

As a fellow retail employee, nothing rubs me quite as bad as saying "I work retail and the service was terrible" - you didn't get a "service," you just called a store with an annoying question. That makes you a shitty customer and nothing more.
The whole purpose of RSD *used to be* thst you would go and camp out and you would be surprised with what the store had and hopefully pick up several other titles to help support. I would be livid too if I had 5 million whiny Brand New fans CALLING ME every day for months.
The worst part of a customer is thinking that they are the only one who has a thought or a need and that every retail slave should bow to it.
Just show up, get in line, cross your fingers, and buy a stack of records. If you don't get Deja, just buy the other retail version. It's not a challenging concept.

As an employee of a record store, I have to say that this guy isn't completely in the wrong.  We truly don't know how many copies of any given title we have until we receive our shipments with the invoice (unless we get e-mailed an invoice at the time of shipping).  We put in an order for what we want, titles get allocated, and we receive whatever they send us.
 
This is the most hectic week of the year for record stores, and it's hard not to get a little frustrated over things at times.  The shop I work at got like half of our RSD titles today, only days before RSD.  Not saying he should've been rude if he was, but it can get frustrating at times when responding to the same question so many times every day leading up to RSD, especially when you don't always know the definite answer.  So to call them "fucks" for not responding to a question that they may very well not know the answer to is a little harsh.

Tell tumblr & watch the internet implode

aw you poor guy. You should have asked them to write down a list of your wants, and call you right back when they found out exactly what they get. Record store employees love that around RSD and dealing with entitled pricks all for the tune of minimum wage. A local shop near me doesn't participate in RSD purely so he doesn't have to deal with the crybaby RSD crowd calling and calling and calling and people getting mad that he didn't receive certain items or doesn't know if he will get certain items even 2 days before, all like every aspect of any bad time had associated with RSD is his fault. 

Well when I googled it, Triple Crown, Amazon, and Brand New's site came up and all are out of stock. But hey thanks, you're awesome.

Sorry for wanting a direct site. Forgot how friendly everyone on this site is. Now I remember why I never post.

Working in a Record Store I agree wholeheartedly to every word this gentleman said. People need to chill, we do everything we can to make as many people happy as we can.
