Super VHS Cord

Owning an electronic store can sometimes bring you some funny questions from customers. Just a few days ago, someone came into the store.. to ask if I was from and i had told him, I’m from Canada.. just so he can stop asking me more questions .. because .. i really didn’t wanna entertain him since i was alone in the store. PB had gone home with the brat and Keegan. But he went on and one.. and spoke to me in Tagalog as if i was a Filipino’s..!! Donch get me wrong.. i love my filipino friends.. but i had already told him.. i’m from Canada right..?? and I’m a Chinese..! You know.. when you just wanna roll your eyes.. and slap your forehead.. when something like that happens..?? ya.. that kinda feeling.

And then he bargain for the VHS movie price and said.. he only had $3.57 when i told him the movies were at $4.56. And the best part of everything is .. he asked if we had Super VHS Cord..?? What IS that…?? Have you heard about a Super VHS cord..?? So i asked PB when he came back.. and we are guessing he wanted a S-Video cord..?? To be honest.. some customers.. you just wanna rid off.. so bad.. if you know what i mean. Half drunk and smelling of pot sure doesn’t make me feel good at all.

PB is SICK!

Donch know what happened.. but PB got sick right at 11pm.. and his stomach felt really bad and all. And PB rarely gets ill. So after trying to throw up and all.. he still felt back.. so he left to for the hospital at 12.50am. This is quite frightening for me.. because i’m alone with Chloe at home.. and i donch know what else i can do. What a real bummer..!! My in-laws ain’t even online ..!

Stolen & Recovered

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

This is what the dumb ass thief stole from our store..! yes.. BLANK CASSETTE CDs.. that has absolutely no “black” market value whatsoever. If he had brought this to the town drug dealer.. in exchange for some dope.. he would prolly have gotten beaten up..! Come to think of it.. we prolly saved him.. by catching him in the act.

Moral of the story.. never STEAL from the CRAZY CHINESE WOMAN ..!! Else yer’ll end up have your pictures splashed all over the web..! muahahhahaha!!

ShopLifter Finale

Well.. like I said earlier .. we never thought about pressing charges.. coz’ it is just not worth the effort for $20.00 worth of things stolen. The cop got our blank cassettes back.. the thief was given a property protection act and warned not to come back into our store again. We have his pictures posted on the wall of shame .. and him in action on the world wide web and on the store’s website.

And it has been a joke for us and some regular customers since yesterday.. and i made sure to tell everyone about it.. so that we can get a good laugh.. outta it.. and the kids that comes into our store.. they know better.

Shoplifter Caught At OUR Store – Part 2

Cont’d from Part I

PB came back shortly .. and i told him what happened. After feeding the brat lunch, he went to the office to look at the camera files, came up. .and told me .. yes.. the stupid black thief did indeed steal a box of blank empty cassettes. Yes.. it is BLANK EMPTY CASSETTES. Now how stupid is that.. i ask you ..?? In this day and time.. who would be using blank empty cassettes..??

We donch know to be pissed or to laugh it off .. because boy.. must he be stupid.. or something else….!! PB did call the cops .. because he didn’t want the stupid thief to think that he got away with it.. even though we had no intention about pressing charges. The cops called back.. and since we didn’t have the thief in holding.. he said.. he was gonna come a little later.. to look at our security camera.

A couple of hours later.. Keegan first saw the stupid thief walk by our store .. and PB went out of the store.. to see if it was really the thief .. and what good timing.. the cops came. PB said to the cops .. “blue jacket .. black guy” .. cop turned around.. and nabbed the stupid thief at the carpark.

Shoplifter Caught At OUR Store

Some excitement we had yesterday. But the moral of my story is .. do not steal from THE CRAZY CHINESE WOMAN .. else.. your picture will be on the World Wide Web and a movie of you in action .. plus a glorified picture at our store.

Yes.. yesterday we had a shoplifter at our store. He had actually come into our store just after we opened.. and had brought up a game asking me to reserve it for him.. and that his g/f “Emily” was gonna come in to rent it for him. Two hours later.. he came back.. and i was very busy serving customers on my own.. because PB and Chloe had gone to get lunch. Stupid thief was acting suspiciously and i was watching him from the corner of my eye.. but because the shelves were tall.. i can’t see anything.. unless i turned on the security camera on the computer, which i didn’t .. because i didn’t think he would be so stupid.. since there were pictures of shoplifters where he was standing.. already indicating to his stupid black ass.. that we have security camera.

Anyhow.. he left after abit.. and after serving the last customer.. i walked around the store.. and checked all my items .. and found that a box of blank cassette tapes were missing. But i wasn’t sure.. because .. sometimes.. PB loves to move things around.. without even knowing where he had placed them. So i waited for PB to come back….

To be cont’d …

Confrontation & I Do Not Do Well

I realized that i do not do well with confrontation..! it shakes me up a little, even if it is only on the phone. I called a customer on my late list.. telling her .. that her movie wasn’t back.. and she was pretty indignant about having dropped it off.. already.. when in the first place.. she couldn’t even remember what the movie was.. when i told her the name. She said.. she won’t rent from us again.. and i could send her to the collections if i wanted too, even though i told her I had already double checked and the movie wasn’t in at all.

She said to me.. “well you better check again..!” and that got me really worked up.. and i said.. ok.. i’ll see you in collections then! and hung up. I was pretty upset..! but i went to check another time.. for the movie all over the store.. and true enough.. it was slotted in another slot .. not the right one.

Boy..!! is this embarrassing or what..!! now that made me even more upset..!! now i’ll have to call and apologized..! bummer..!!

Fix The Darn Town Clock FIRST..!

An American tourist had just left our store.. after buying a few used movies .. ran back into our store.. and asked for the time.. and when i told him it was like 3pm.. he was so relieved. Why because the darn town clocked had shown that it was like 5pm and his boat leaves at 4pm I think.

Talk about trying to boost tourism in this town.. !! well .. fix the darn town clock first..!! and stop giving the poor tourist a heart attack..!! It’s simple things like these.. they cannot even get it right. And i know exactly what they are gonna tell me if i write in to complain about the clock..! that they had looked and repaired it many times.. or something along those lines..! Well.. if you had.. and it’s still not working.. and you still have it left up there.. instead of changing the blardy clock..!!! yer all are an old good for nothing farts.. running this town..!

My 2 cents worth.. and i rest my case..!
