    Fail Customers

    i can empathise with this. i had to go around giving out free $5 vouchers at work one day. it took me ages to get rid of them, people just didn't believe there wasn't some kind of trick behind it.

    Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince

    in our theatre some girl at the front screamed and pretty much everyone in the cinema cracked up laughing, priceless

    Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince

    this is exactly what i think in a nutshell. my friends dragged me to see it again today, until my second viewing i didn't even realise how much ron/lavendar crap there was. something that took up about three pages max (if you strung it all together) in the book derailed the entire movie by...

    City of Unoriginal Writing... BLAH

    haha fair enough, i'll agree to disagree then. i do agree with the second sentence, though, she is horribly irritating for a large portion of the books. the fanfiction she wrote was a trilogy on draco malfoy in which - from what i've heard (can't say for certain since it was actually deleted)...

    Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince

    cutting scenes wouldn't bother me if they didn't have a tendency to throw in scenes that never happened in the book i.e. the burrow scene, i have no recollection of a chase with bellatrix and fenrir. why couldn't they have left that part out and done the battle scene that actually happened in...

    Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince

    i had a screaming child in my theatre. fuck, if your child starts screaming leave the fucking theatre don't just sit there you bogan filth. they missed out on bill and fleur's engagement, as well as the battle in which bill is disfigured by greyback... i mean it was alright, but 'unfailingly...

    City of Unoriginal Writing... BLAH

    i thought exactly the same thing when i read it, first i thought Valentine's group was exactly like the Death Eaters, then i strated to draw a series of parallels. but then you get to the weirdo incest plot and you're like 'no... comparing this to harry potter would be wrong'. but cassandra...

    Rules for Customers

    i think she means they don't have enough money in their till to pay out all the smaller prizes... at least i hope that's what she meant :haha:

    Rules for Customers

    you can still win money even if you didn't win 53 mil... my dad won back the $25 the ticket cost. in general i don't really see how checking to see if you won a smaller prize is so heinous?

    Bookshop resume

    yeah i know, that's why i said "it may not be necessary for actually getting the job". i disagree. if you work at dymocks you'll be mystery shopped (meaning you'll have to recommend things for often weird requests - i.e. our last mystery shopper wanted a novel that was a romance specifically...

    Bookshop resume

    that's not entirely true. people come in every day asking for recommendations, so you do need to have some sort of enthusiasm for books. anyway, when a manager looks at your resume, they're trying to ascertain whether you're suitable for the position. your past experience is the most...

    Rules for Customers

    even logos and other indications aren't enough. our work shirts are covered in flying books and i still get asked 'do you work here'. but this doesn't bother me nearly as much as people who don't even bother to say hello back to me, they just launch into whatever they want.

    Rules for Customers

    a couple of weeks ago this customer tried to bullshit me. she said she'd seen this book in the newspaper, available specifically from our franchise (newspapers don't specify stores). she told me the name of the book, and i'd searched it a couple of days before, it was from a publisher we can't...

    "Stephenie Meyers can't write" - Stephen King

    and with their usual wisdom, the twi-tards reply with their default 'OMG UR JUS JELUZ'. thank goodness one famous author is prepared to stand up and point out meyers' hopelessness.

    Rules for Customers

    having worked 5-6 days a week over the christmas period, i have plenty of stories/rules. as a couple of people stated on the last page, signs are for reading. we have two signs saying that twilight is sold out, yet the questions continue without fail. i get irritated when people assume that...

    Travelling 1hr+ to uni

    i have the same dilemma (live in wollongong, want to go to uni in sydney). it's going to be a bit of an adjustment, since my high school was only a half an hour walk... but train rides don't bother me, and i think it'll be worth it to experience the new environment, since i don't go to sydney...
