If your shop is anything like the one I visit, then among the many free services you gain from it are a lot of Sarcasm and Wise-a** remarks. Which, you know, adds to the charm, of course. But sometimes, the owner will say something that BEGS to be shared.
For instance. We were talking about The hills Have Eyes, and other various cannibal movies, when the subject of Marvel Zombies intersected the topic. And that's when . . .
[quote="Mike Boze']If Wolverine was a cannibal, he'd never starve!
Which lead to ories about Wolverine-flexh being the great health food . . . . but I digress.

Unfortunately, my shop is not quite like that.
The business is so slow and people so few, I sometimes think that I am their lone source of income...

Usually at the comic shop I frequent, the guys at the counter are like...
"You're picking up Transmet? Excellent"
They're a cool bunch of guys.

At my local, we're usually discussing the shortcomings of the Theory of Evolution, vis a vis the Ostrich.

The fun kinda died out when my buddy, Derrick, stopped working at the shop. We'd go off on anything and everything for hours, holding court with with the other readers as the Yu-Gi-Oh players just sat and delt cards. One of my favorite incidents....
Me: "Huzzah, players!"
Derrick: "'Huzzah'? No one says 'huzzah.'"
Me: "I'm bring it back. Old school, brother."
Fast forward two weeks. I walk in the shop...
Derrick: "You son of a b***h! How'd you do it!?"
Me: "What? What'd I do?"
Derrick: "I'm chattin' online and a guy in the forums says 'Huzzah". I'm watchin' Deadwood and dude on there yealls "Huzzah". I'm lookin' at the TV with my girl sitting next to me and yell 'You're ********' lyin!' How? How in the yell did you bring that word back in two goddamn week!?"
Me: "I got mad skills. Next, I'm introducin' 'snickerfritz' into the vocabulary."

My shop employs burnouts. I bought "Superman in the 70's" which had a foreward by Christopher Reeve. The guy ringing me up looks at it and says "Hey, Christopher Reeve. I bet he wrote that by himself."
"Uh, with his. Own. Hands."
"Yeah."
"Sorry, that was kinda dumb."

That's really sad.
I like my shop, they aren't all complete morons. I just wish that the owner would lay off and stop trying to set me up with one of the guys from the other store... Guess we'll see come microcon.

sweatdrop heh! looks like the thread for me, being a comic store employee and all.
i think its part of the job description to be a bit of a jerk. i'm the first to admit that we can be well..... a bit strange sweatdrop
we currently have a balloon with the face of robert goulet etched onto it, and sometimes make the cardboard cut outs of boris karloff and freddy krueger dance
...i'll shut up now sweatdrop
