I swear ppl come up with new ways everyday .. to be stupid or dumb.
This took place yesterday evening at our store.
Customer came in the store to rent DVDs movie .. 2 in fact.
This is the conversation we had.

Customer : How much is it for renting DVDs now..?? (Sure sign that he is either new or no account with us)
Me : $2.50/nite
Customer : Oh good, she only wanted me to rent one because she didn’t think we had enough money.
Me : Ok! What’s your phone #
Customer : 7401234
Me : (Type in the #) Sorry, can’t find that #, do you have an account with us..??
Customer : Ahh.. no..!
Me : Then i need a piece of picture ID and a credit card from you to set up a new account.
Customer : I don’t have any ID with me.
Me : Then i’m afraid i can’t rent to you.
Customer : Ok (walk out of the store)

I don’t understand it.. ??!!!?? He wants to rent a movie.. with no account with us… and didn’t bring any ID to set up an account…???? What the hell was he thinking..???!!!?? That it was ok.. to let him have my movies.. without knowing who he is.. or where to find him.. if he doesn’t return my movies..???? I can’t believe it.. that anyone could be that dumb..!!!

This is Shane, a very long time customer of ours. We’ve always like Shane .. coz’ he is funny and very easy-going. He looked scruffy today.. but he usually looks alot better than this, prolly tired from looking after his new born baby.

I haven’t worked with the new exchange student yet… my spouse did. So far so good.. but i’ll wait a little longer to make any kinda assessment.
I just do not wanna have my hopes all high. .and then get disappointed once again.
