Welcome to day 1 of Sell That/Buy This.
I begin with yesterday; Tuesday - New albums by Ween & Neil Young have been released. It's very exciting, except I can not play Track 6 (My Own Bare Hands) from Ween's La Cucaracha, due to "She can be my cock professor... she can get her phd in fucking me".
Ween & Neil Young aside, today started out with one of those younger customer who should probably be in school, but is instead buying cheap DVD's with her boyfriend who speaks early 90's slang.
Yesterday, a guy called to ask if we "have any of those DJ CD's".
ME: How do you mean DJ CD's?
HIM: Well, the DJ we hired for this weekend backed out, and I was wondering if you had one of those CD's that DJ's use to play all their musc, what're they called... you know... a CD with a lot of different music on it.
ME: Well, we do have lots of compilation CDs, lot's of genres, film soundtracks, and even more crap that you better not try trading in after next weekend. Besides, CD's typically only hold up to 80 minutes of music anyway, so you probably want a whole bunch of CD's, so don't call, just come in, or buy a computer and get your kids to show you how to rip CD's in to iTunes.
That last run-on sentence pretty much shut him up.
Today:
Our local drunken hermit has just requested that I turn on the outdoor speaker... done. He's totally wasted, but fairly cheerful when not cursing randomly with tourettes.
The owner has also requested that we not let him sit/lay down in front of the store, as it smells like alcohol, cigarettes, and stale old man.
We sell crappy PC games on consignment for 6.99 each, and it looks like more have been stolen than sold (about 8 hawked in total, but why do we sell that crap anyway?)
Refreshing: A elderly lady just traded a Rod Steward CD, given to her as a gift, for Tom Waits. That's even cooler than my mother.
We just got a steel band Christmas CD handed in for the owner of the store. Christmas is saved!
The HMV guy just told me about when his store was broken in to years ago, and then the next day all his stolen stuff ended up here! Culprit arrested. Bad criminal, no crack.
I've been trying to catch a fly with a CD jewel case; no luck.
UPADATE: I just caught a fly with a CD jewel case! Hooray!
