My first day at the "other" video store: (aka overlong rant)
I work fat a fairly badass video store, and MY store was by far the best looking, running, smelling, & all around friendliest store of the 3 locations, but last month the owner called me in to say he was closing my branch. The landlords in this area are fucking vampires & don't care who they rent to as long as they pay top dollar. We just couldn't afford the ridiculous rent anymore, & video stores are obviously a dying breed. It'll be sad when unique stores no longer exist at all, and we're all fat, socially retarded computer jockies. We are being replaced buy a CHAIN second-hand clothing store that eats "mom & pops" alive. It's kinda pathetic how attached I became to this store, but It became like a second home to me. We had an amazing selection, a lot of interesting/bizarre/loyal regulars, and the perk of being close to a bunch of other small shops. Fortunately, I still have a job, but it's at the "OTHER" store. The "OTHER" store is a merciless she-beast that will eat a man alive... Pray for me.
