Episode 210: Adventures In ReTale

[Nemo2342]

I have literally been fired for way less than these people claim to have said to customers. Have these people even ever actually worked retail?

Having previously spent 9 years of my life working at a grocery store, I can absolutely believe that these kids worked in retail. These are exactly the kinds of things you fantasize about doing when you're young, making minimum wage, and sick of dealing with idiots who don't know how to behave in public.

When I was in that situation I fantasized about the proletariat rising up to crush the bourgeoisie.

When are you not fantasizing about that, comrade? (hint: please say in the bedroom)

Why aren't you fantasizing about it in the bedroom?

Why aren't you fantasizing about it in the bedroom?

Because that's where it's actually happening.

And here I am just fantasising about farting ponies and lizard feet.

[goombapolice]

Well well well. I like sexual knifing

My fantasy is ridiculously nested quote tags.

Sorry but I just can't make it through the episode. Like I have been working in retail for like 2 years now and nothing like this ever happens. Like the worst thing about working in retail to me at least is the mind-numbing repetition of everything and being constantly disappointed.

[Ambious]

God, I love this episode

[blunge]

Pathetic nerd revenge fantasies are always funny. One of the best stdh.txt episodes for me! Loved the angry customer voices particularly. Gott in Himmel, these employees fight like madmen!

[Dawnswalker]

This is still such a great episode, but there's one thing I still don't get.

The "BAZINGA!" story, as awful as it was, was a tale in which the cashier and the customers bonded over something that they all enjoyed in a pleasant and agreeable manner, right?

SO WHY WAS IT ON NOT ALWAYS RIGHT . COM?!

[Adam Bozarth]

I was watching "The Fan" from 1981, since it's in Criterion Collection's 80s Horror collection. (Lots of great stuff in there)

So, the film is about an obsessive young man who slowly becomes a psychotic killer when the actress he's obsessed with doesn't reply to any of his letters. There is some narration throughout of the the fan's letters.

The fan works in a record store, and tries to confront his boss to get his coworker fired. Instead, the boss yells at him for not doing a task he was asked to do. Humiliated, the fan then writes in his next letter to the actress: "I told off that Hitler at work, and when I was done, everyone in the store applauded."

Had to pause it to explain why I was laughing so much.
