I wish I could go 2 weeks without someone threatening to shoot/stab me to death cause I pass on their junk. I need a new job.
When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.
Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.
I have so many questions...
1 - What "junk" are you passing on, exactly?
2 - Why do you work at a place where people threaten your life?
3 - Are you okay, shouldn't you call the police??
I work at a retro gaming store. The big thing is we Buy/Sell/Trade. We're also not in the best part of town. I've had to call police because someone was dying from OD just outside the store more than once. We get a lot of crackheads who think the 30 Madden games for the 360 they just stole from the Goodwill down the street is gonna net them like $100 for drugs and we end up passing on all of it cause they look like Freddy Kruger gave the game a back massage.
Then they get mad and threaten us and we ban them.

Found this Pogo channel on Youtube that has all these spliced musical tracks. It's insanely good. Guess I can thank my girlfriend's Tiktok addiction for something.

"I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
I love when I worked at a place like that before "the great plague™" shut that place down.I work at a retro gaming store. The big thing is we Buy/Sell/Trade. We're also not in the best part of town.

*See the 100 madden games*
*look at them dead in the eyes*
"I can give you a few bucks in store credit. We only really sell this for less than a few bucks, not to mention some of these cases are empty m8...
*remind them that we have a copy of their ID if they get rowdy*
Though it does stink when they leave their junk we don't buy in the parking lot. At least we can b8 them for that. Just be happy you only took in games. Taking in anything is a recipe for disaster when you are doing it in a "city".
I know my mouth is going to get me into trouble eventually. Too many times someone threatens me in store and my response is "The mess around and find out line is right there". One day someone is gonna be like "Nah." and just shoot me in the face.I love when I worked at a place like that before "the great plague™" shut that place down.

5 days before Thanksgiving and people are already bumrushing our store at 7 am to buy a ton of food, and a few of them wipe out the canned good shelves.
People, it's not the apocalypse, let others buy what they need too. You don't have to buy 4 24-packs of bottled water, you don't need 4 18 lb turkeys, and you certainly don't need those 22 cans of Del Monte corn.
We have purchase limits for a reason. Good gravy.
This one is beyond your help. Only sleep can save her now.
Don't say that or they will take all the gravy!5 days before Thanksgiving and people are already bumrushing our store at 7 am to buy a ton of food, and a few of them wipe out the canned good shelves.

People make a big fuss about Black Friday, but the entire week before is no joke for retail workers either. The whole month, if you work in the back room and have to find room for a few hundred extra TVs, multiple pallets of electronics, a metric ass-load of toys.......
