Goon.

Bloody great movie. Like Waterboy but with a shit load more heart & soul.

Stacks of laughs. Sean William Scoot does a great job that you forget it's Sean William Scott.

Fully deserves the 7.5/10 IMDB rating.

Downloading both Goon and Waterboy right now, thanks Rii. <3

Haven't seen Waterboy in a long time, and haven't ever seen Goon.

Random customer at work 'Do we get any pensioner's discount?'
Spork: 'No, sorry'
RC: 'We do at X'
WhatSporkWantsToSay: 'Oh, well in that case, considering I, someone who hasn't been with this nation wide company for six months am obviously in charge of what discounts we offer, I will change our policies completely simply because you just informed me that some company whom I have never even heard of offers the discount'.
WhatSporkReallyDid: Blank stare.
RC: Blank disapproving stare.

I mean, what do these customers actually expect?

I wish you could charge people who ask silly questions like that more money, like a stupid question tax. And also be able to give discounts to good/easy to deal with/nice customers. I guess I am looking for a monetary form of karma.

That you've been instructed by the upper management to not hand out discounts willy nilly, but you actually can.
Or for you to ask upper management if you can give them a discount.

Eg. Quite a few places do price matching, but don't advertise it.
Even then though it's usually got conditions like 'full retail', which excludes things like pension discounts, sales, etc.

To be honest, you don't know until you ask. And large telcos bank on you not asking because of the ridiculous charges they can get away with.

Yea, but Pensioners discount is a pretty big thing - or at least it is in Aus. All the oldies have a card, and theres a bit system for it. The company I work for is one of the biggest in Australia. Not some small tinpot show with uncertain policies. I said 'no, sorry' when asked. It's not something which anyone can just give out when they want. Companies either give a pensioner's discount or they don't.

I mean, if they were actually buying something worth the discount, instead of a DVD, then maybe I'd accept them pushing for it, but just the way they asked, it was as if I had insulted them personally by saying that we don't.

Just made me want to slap them for being such a douche even though they quite possibly weren't at all.

EDIT: Also, yes, he did ask, and as I said - I said no, then he mentioned about the other company. If he had said something like 'could you ask your supervisor' or something like that, then it would've been different, but he didn't.

Just a stupid way of asking.

Did a relationship turn sour, or did you tell her how you felt about her after being friends?

Good friends, thought we had something recently. Her friends told me she always go on about me, talked to her everyday. Finally told her how I felt then I got hit up with the whole "lets be friends" crap.

I'd ignore her.

Can't stand women who pull that shit "let's be friends". You may be seen as being selfish but you wont ever look at her the same with how you feel about her. In part, it's selfish of her to think you could just be friends providing you were straight up with her.

I fucking commend you good sir for strapping up and letting her know how you feel. She may come around but don't count on it.

I've had it happen before, except I never told her how I felt, and I'm glad because she turned into a Greenpeace hippie.

Also, I can attest to bar wenches being generally retarded and callouss (if you still are working in a club).

Tricksy bitches.

Yup, pretty much told her "oh it's cool" when really i was crushed, then my mate said, "hey man, go talk to that chick" 2 minutes later.... i'm hooking up with her!  The girl is off to aussie 3 weeks soon, let's see if the "absence makes the heart grow stronger" saying is true ;)
