I work for HMV and the amount of adults buying that crazy frog tune was ridiculous! Some people were buying 4 or 5 copies each! There whole attitude was like 'its only a bit of fun, isn't it!'.
LOSERS!
X-D A fellow record store employee!
The customers I get will almost never admit the record is for them. I know they're lying when they immediately offer up saying it's "not for me" or it's a "gift" or for their kid or whatever. It's like being pulled over with pot in your car - oh no officer, that's not *my* pot! I swear!!
I one time was being a smartass and let it slip when I had a customer who was buying Ace of Base, and he said "oh, but it's a gift for... um, my girlfriend." I told him, "Oh sure, blame it on the girlfriend! No worries man - We don't make fun of anyone for the music they buy... well, at least we won't make fun til you're out the door!" Of course it helps when you wink and smile. He actually laughed!
Hehe! My favourite item that a customer can buy is obviously porn (I just love the uncomfortableness on their face!) but I absolutely love it when they buy instructional 'love making' DVDs eg 'How to make love part one - foreplay'. Its like admitting they're crap in bed!
It gets me thru my working day sometimes!
