Working in the local video store over here, we had just got a new batch of films in. We had the usual bunch of stuff, Scream 3 (overdosed on J &SB), Million Dollar Hotel and the like. I looked further and what did i see? A solitary copy of Lee's own Mumford!
Sweet! Pop it in the VCR. Nice one. Its playing while i work. A few customers come in and i try my best to do my job without taking my eyes away from the screen.
Then, next thing i know, a customer walks in. Mid 20's just like everyone else. "What's that you're playing"?
"Oh, thats Mumford, a new one"
he looks at the box.
"OOOH TED DANSON"!!
I wasnt listening.
"I want to get this out"
Horror crosses my face.
"But.......c'mon, i want to watch it"
he takes a video from the shelf (The Pokémon Movie)
"Watch this fucking video instead"
so. i gave it to him. what can i say, the guy had balls. i could have been a bit more insubordinate, but hey, whaddaya gonna do.
