I’ve seen #2 in the flesh, as it were. It’s at Mr. Cheapo’s Used CDs in Commack, Long Island, NY.

i’m willing to bet that, just like many waitresses, bartenders and other retail employees, many record store clerks are just paying their way through school. what’s with the inferiority complex? i did work music retail to get through school, and i’ll tell you what, i never gave a shit what people bought… and experienced a game of “stump the record store clerk” daily.
also, do i begrudge the bartender because he knows what booze is the best? it is his job, he probably knows.
just a thought.

As someone who works in a record store, I can feel nothing but compassion for the people who made those bitchy notes. Since we’re supposed to be a “friendly” store, our only sign says “please do not open sealed records.” Really, I would love to find and shake hands with all the people who make me spend an hour locating a single misplaced copy of Katy Parry when I’m doing inventory.

This is why people with educations get paid more. Don’t like alphabetizing and organizing at minimum wage? Well, then pull out those piercings, tidy up that hair, get some nice clothes, get an education, and learn to speak without the word “like” and “fu**”, and stop leaving your mouth and bottom lip gaping at the end of every sentence, and you may never have to work a register again.

Alphabetizing records/CDs and talking to stupid customers is your job. It’s why you are being paid. You certainly do not have a grand and masterful intellect to be given the “privilege” of manning the register. You know, McDonald’s are always hiring.

You are the master of your own destiny. Stop blaming others for your stupid choices.

Up yours, Xtroll for your gross generalizations about music store employees. Where I used to work, you would think we were proctologists we saw so many assholes. Yet, we dealt with them with silent dignity. Those notes above are the kind of thing we could only fantasize about doing. Salespeople get shat on all the time by customers – I’m glad to see retail workers getting some of their own back.
