I feel sorry for kids who work in Blockbuster, period. (DH did his stint when we were in college. Not a happy time.)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I feel terrible for the kids who work in Blockbuster, who had to deal with the brunt of rage from angry customers
The do have their own LJ, though. Some hysterical stories come out of the asshat costumers.

Jessica! I know - he doesn't seem to realize that this isn't his show -- that he's a hired hand.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
You worked Blockbuster, didn't you?
Yep. A company, I might add, that paid a male employee hired on the same day as I, 75 cents more per hour, though he had no retail experience and we had the same title. When I found out and complained, they raised my salary and issued a memo saying that it was against store policy to discuss our paychecks.
Blockbuster should go down in flames.

Okay, I'm very big on the idea of becoming an "autuer" director, but even I know you need to earn it.

Or pay for your own films, which is what he's been doing up until now. If it's your money, it's your show.
Someone else's money means it's their movie and you work for them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
A friend of mine (graduated with me from the MBA program last year) is managing a Blockbuster. I feel bad for her, and all her co-workers, though she hasn't been complaining about the "No Late Fees" thing specifically.

Jessica, I actually thought that he was doing better. I mean, he made great strides of improvement since his turn last week as Mute Boy. If he would just let this casting issue go, or even just pick ONE family member to fight for, things would go a lot smoother. He seems to have a lot of people on his side supporting him but he just has such tunnel vision on this.
ETA: And I do think he has less power as a contest winner than he would as a first time director. The ghost of trainwrecks past is not his friend.
