  • OMG! marry me? finally.......someone whom to share the annoyances with! <3

  • Okay. story. of. my. life.

    thanks

  • you still look like my old physics teacher...

  • your videos are great!

  • By the merchant agreements you have with Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Amex you are NOT ALLOWED to ask someone for a picture ID when they use a credit card. You think you're "doing them a service", but you're actually violating the credit card companies' own policies and contributing to the further erosion of privacy in this country.

  • oooh check it out, we've got the Special Police working on Youtube!

    What about when the morons write SEE ID on back, hmmm??

  • Not true. I work for a major chain bookstore also, and if their cards don't have those new PIN microchips, we're REQUIRED by our credit card contracts to verify identification if they're spending more than a certain amount of money.

  • LOL... That was great! I agree that some customers are absolutely absurd. Good job, Tony. :)

  • XD lmao where am i?

    ohh sorry guys, call the press back hes just looking.

    ....seriously though how do you put up with it

  • My favorite: I'm looking for a book...I don't know the title, don't know the author, but the cover is blue. And the next best...so...have you read this book? (totally obscure title). Um no...but I have read every other book in this store.

  • okay, this is totally making my night. that last part, about "where am I"

    WELL. you're standing in front of a GIANT SIGN that says waldenbooks. must mean....petco? and then they'll write something like..."walden's books"

    WHO THE HELL IS WALDEN? is that what it says on the wall? nooooo. waldenbooks. pretty simple.

  • haha! you are funnier than other people of whoms names shall not be mentioned due to possible offence

  • haha

  • Fucking hilarios!

  • love it sign543!

    ~M

  • lol

  • You are too funny--love your vids!

  • awesome

  • "or doing some other employee kinda thing" haha you're the greatest man. best comedian ive seen on youtube hands down. and im just wondering because i used to smoke a lot of weed, have you ever used coaine or any other uppers, we can keep it between us because haha im sure it made you more creative and gave you your unique style if you did lol. good luck. and keep it up

  • OMG! I hate when people ask you what store they are in! I used to work in a shoe store and the name of our store was in BIG RED letters on practically every wall, it was even on my name tag. Sometimes people would ask me if we were famous footwear, or shoe pavillion. Stupid customers.

  • Yours may be good, but I don't accept personal cheques. Why?

    Four out of four that I've ever received have bounced. How can I trust you? I don't know you. What makes you any different?

    I get them all the time...

  • I've actually done the "where am I," thing...very good likeness..lol.

  • I never understood why people got so offended when I asked for id. I had people throw me there id before across the counter, and I had to pick it up, off the floor, on the other side. I love these. Well, love all your videos, but I really relate to these

  • hahaa lmao!

    I lov ur rants!

  • i'm laughing to hard to type...

    this is just way better than

    T.V. Cable B.S.

    New Fan Here...

    Heres your sign543

  • Woah Orchard Bank! Hollah.

    Nice Video :)

  • I wouldn't get too annoyed about the "do you work here", it is mostly to get your attention, not to actually inquire if you work there.

  • I wish book stores would discontinue their intrusive (savings card) "Sign up or pay more policy." "A free people does not show identity papers to get a discount on books." Membership is for the country clubs.

  • that is funny... inever get tired of your backround music

  • Planet Earth lol I use that one too every chance I get!

  • planet earth.lmao

  • Isnt it true that if the customer makes a check out to say, Hasings and they are at BooksAMillion, it will still be honored?

  • Oh, my, I wouldn't think so. Maybe, though. :)

  • this vid cracks me up everytime!

  • Ohgawd, the check part if my favorite. I used to work at a bookstore and people would always ask me where they were. I sure don't miss that..

  • YOu made me LAUGH with this video! I wish they had Youtube back in my WAITRESSING days--LOL!!

  • Cool Vid Man!

    Five Stars!!

  • the beat in the background hurts my brain :(

  • hahaha ''where am i'' yup im mightve actually did a couple of those on accident....

  • I always ask the question of do you work here? It's not piss the employee off it's just to confirm and check that they aren't a customer who's using the computer to search for a book.

  • HEY....My partner owns a bookstore. An awesom locally owned and operated shop. Zipster told me to check you out....glad I did

  • haha nice!! but often i go into a bookshop to "look", see what i might be interested in. bcos often i don't know what book i wanna get, just see if something piques my interest.

  • Working and dealing with the public you have to have nerves of steal...lol

  • FUnny

  • You're funnay

  • This series is great!

  • hey, this is pretty funny :] haha

  • TONY,

    THAT WAS HISTERICAL.

  • I used to work in a college bookstore... Boy does all that sound familiar. I also had people expecting me to know all about the subject they were taking so I could "help" with their homework!

  • I think my favorite is "Do you work here?" -- having DONE retail.

    Then again, when I was selling my jewelry at Fremont Market, I'd get people asking me if I could do "better at my prices". No, madame, it's not barter day. I've marked my sterling silver and gemstone cheaper than you'd find in a retail store. If you want cheaper, GO TO A THRIFT STORE.

    People is nutz.

    Except for thee and me, I mean--and some days, thee is a little off.

  • It's not barter day. LOL. Perfect, ma.

  • @Starshadow

    i once had a customer at the Barnes and Noble I work for try to convince her 8 year old daughter that they could "haggle" me down in price. Uhm, no.

  • Retail totally blows. I work at a call center for United Way and a woman called in yesterday insisting that we were the Home Shopping Network.

  • OMG, you are so right! I have worked in retail for almost ten years and I have gotten all of those questions. It is so amazing how stupid, idiotic and ignorant some people are, as well as oblivious.  Good Job!

  • OMG I want you to be my neighbor so that I can have you over for cake and coffee!

  • "put the cake away...he's just looking"

    LMAO.... ;o)

  • Just swinging by to have another look see! I needed a good laugh.

  • Love it , Ive seen that so many times and Im afraid Ive done some of it too.Uh-oh I let the lizard outta the bag ooops.Anyways Thanks for the Laughs and have a good one!

  • Being that I have 6 years experience of retail at Wal-Mart (BOO! HISS!), all these things do not strike me as unbelievable or strange.

  • Very cool video... The planet Earth thing had me rolling on the floor...

  • People don't know where they are because they don't want to have to crane their necks to look at the sign as they are walking in.

  • haha I am the Just Looking guy except without the attitude.

  • oh man, I LOVE when they ask for my ID... one xmas I bought a sword and some knives w/ my debit card and they didn't ask... nice to know someone could be buying a bunch of weapons pretending to be me (never mind what they were for) :)

  • LOL .. I went to a funeral yesterday and a group of us gathered at the local hotel for drinks afterwards, In the space of approx 40 mins I had three seperate couples come upto me requesting a table .... Geeeshhh just because I am dressed in Black and white does not mean I work in this hotel ... hello ... Im here for a wake ..... ya gotta laugh ...

  • your videos are hysterical. :)

  • I work at Walgreens and I get that all the time "do you work here??" it's like... yeah, no I just love wearing a sexy photo jacket for no reason.

  • Exactly. LOL

  • Once again, a great video!

    I work in retail, so I know these sorts of customers so well. I get them on a daily basis. They think that just because I work for the company, that I will instantly know where EVERY aingle product is instore. Yeah... right!

  • Thanks...and you're exactly right. :)

  • LOL!!

    i used to work as a shop manager here in Greece and let me tell you customers are everywhere the same!!

  • When someone asks if you work there just say "Only when the boss is watching; the rest of the time I just goof off."

  • There should be a sign that says Welcome Stupid Customers and enjoy yourselves because we don't enjoy you.

    There was a slow cashier that took her sweet old time with a huge freaking line up and checked in everything slowly.

  • I've had people ask me if I work in a store while shopping several times in my life. One incident that really stands out is when I was walking down an aisle in a K-Mart like normal with a PURSE AND COAT ON and some lady coming in the opposite direction asked me if I worked there! I was a little too shocked to have my reply come out as polite as it should've been.

  • Lol, loved it. I used to work in a Govt. dept. and would get calls asking if so and so had called in from "relatives". When told that I couldn't divulge that information it was the same thing "So you're saying I'm a liar?" Pleeeeeeeeeez, you're on the end of a phone, you could be the ghost of Sadaam Hussain!

  • Hehe i hate when people assume just because you work at a res truant you know what all the food tastes like.. its like hello!!?? NO i haven't eaten everyone on the menu..therefore.. noo i don't know what it tastes like .. "is it like lemony?" I DON'T KNOW!!! lol

    oh my..

  • Hizzle? You threw me off with that. I had to watch it twice cause I couldn't concentrate after that.

    Where do you work? I'll buy something if you have cake. :)

  • know what? The "hizzle" cracks me up, too...it just came out before I had a chance to think about it...now I laugh every time I see it. Yes, I crack myself up. :)

  • When you deal with the public, as I do, you soon realize that unlike the rest of us, they are somehow not all unique.

    For better or worse, I've heard it all before.

  • ok what happened to my video

  • Oh my gosh, there is no end to how funny you are!! LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S YOU are awesome!!

  • That was great!!! I worked at Albertsons for years and people are all the same..."does this taste good"...ummm.... just because I work in a grocery store does not mean I have TASTED EVERYTHING we sell!!! Hilarious!

  • This is awesome.

  • Thanks, my friend. :)

  • I love it, these videos are hilarious :D

  • so... is this the YouTube?

    sign, you are hilarious!

  • How about the writer who goes in and rearranges the books so that her books are front facing? :D You can totally point fingers at me for that one. ;)

  • I worked in the kids dept at the bookstore and authors were constantly doing that! Or putting their stuff on required endcaps!

  • Haha. :) I do it for authors I love too. We just like having more shelf space than everybody else. ;)

  • LOL.i love your video...they're so funny:D

  • Oh Sign you are SO right on the money. This is so funny - but not you know? I mean, don't ya just want to slap some people and knock some common sense into them? If you answered yes, forget it - it doesn't EVER work. HAHA!! Been there....etc. Fun stuff.

  • Borders is right across the street from my office. I stop in to "just look" all the time. Luckily, no one has ever asked if they could help me. I'd better have an answer ready just in case someone ever does ask. Like, "Help me do what?" Look them over and go, "ummm, I don't think YOU can. Anyone else work here?" Wheeeee, maybe I'll be in your next video! LOL

  • You up for a collab??

  • Sweetie! I'd collab with you any time, any way! Thing is, Borders has great service. The one across from me has an information desk. They are VERY helpful. On the other hand, service stations, have clerks that resemble the customers in your video! I love your vids. Will NEVER stop watching, will NEVER stop commenting until you block me. If you do, I'll just make videos. Annie Wilkes is your number one fan. In more ways than one!

  • Okay, I just don't want to be hobbled. *laugh* THANKS!!

  • LOL! Oh baby! I would NEVER "hobble" you! (I don't think)

  • Ah, cool! Then you can be my Annie Wilkes anyday! Do you own a pig? I don't. I borrow my pig. Okay, that's not true but once I borrowed money from a pig. Pig is my code word for "pimp".

  • Loves it!!

    <3 Ur Videos!

    -TopThrillTravis

  • I love book stores and really hope that I NEVER ask those annoying questions or act totally stupid. Love your new series! LOL

  • Alot of people with stolen credit cards buy books..? :)

  • DUDE THAT IS SOOOO FREAKIN TRUE!!! What about the guy who always goes in there and then rants on the book that was made into a movie.. Their like "ya the book was better" and we are like "You know what I liked about the movie? No reading"

  • LOL - Royal blue suits you by the way.  :)

  • I love it, more, more! get with me at lunch time I'll give you some good ones! (pushes button on the mike and tells sign543 to run, the lady who yells out questions is coming up behind him!)

  • LOL...part 3 is coming soon??? i hope!!! you rock darlin tony. ((hugs))

    *tori*

  • Too funny...

  • I totally agree about the credit card. When someone asks you to show your ID, THANK THEM!! Don't yell at them for protecting you.

    People sometimes just suck, don't they?

  • LOLAGAIN!

  • I love you so much!! You have hit the nail on the head!! hehe

  • 5*s from someone who worked in a library? btw, when's the date w/ zipster? u better be good to our zipster...

  • IDIOT, n.

    A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.

  • I often have people come up to me in stores and ask me whether I work there. What's up with that?

  • Do you collect name badges from different stores?? :)

  • I have too, and they'll even argue when I deny it.

    At my last job we would get a lot of misdialed numbers and people would argue with you that your number is on their bill. I always felt like saying, I'm pretty sure I know where I work.

  • I swear, that happens to me all the time! It is so weird, isn't it? Maybe we just give off an "authoritative vibe"!

  • Try not to make eye contact LOL

  • I just came back and watched this 2 more times. lol

  • Love it!!! can totaly relate!! Love it when they do it fast food places!!!

  • I still don't know how to read

  • I used to get the "where am I" thing all the time when I worked a bookstore. People don't remember if they're in Barnes and Noble, B Dalton, WaldenBooks, or Borders...  Hell, I even forget that sometimes. Sorry, but big chain bookstores all look alike.

  • Ah do more! BRAVISSIMO!

    5*

  • YOU might be on earth, but they're prolly not ;-)

  • haha I never know where I am.

  • Hey that guy in the sunglasses looks like me at the porn store! LOL ;P

  • Oh no!! I've asked what the name of the store is before! I'm one of THOSE people! Sorry :( Although I was in a mall. And just roaming. ANd didn't mean to buy anything. So I didn't know what store I'd roamed into. But I asked instead: 'do you have a stamp?' so I wouldn't look THAT ignorant. They usually reply, 'just make it out to so and so.' Oh no! I'm one of those people....

  • for anyone looking for a retail rant check out my vid.... i am hopefully going to post it as a response to sign543...if its ok... is it okay? ^^

  • Yes, it's okay. By "yes" I mean that if you do it, I will hunt you down and force feed you cans of beans and franks. :) Just kidding. OF COURSE. :)

  • sweet its up check it out :D

  • Gotta love it!...and love you too!...Jae

  • I love these videos, how well do MOST of us know these stories, I wonder which ones of us are the annoying customer? C'mon fess up and be truthful, I am a courteous customer, Kelley is a rude one, we used to go shopping after work and would be walking into a store at 8:55 PM and she could care less! ciao Reynaldo anxiously awaiting your arrival in San Francisco Baby!

  • I feel the need to watch this several more times.  So the greatness can soak in. I was having a bad day but now....happy again. :)

  • *hangs head in shame* I've been the last guy... Don't block me.

  • music store......

  • "...put the cake away..." hahahahaha! oh man, coughing fit...

  • i love this...worked in retail for 3 years and i can so relate :)

  • What thieves read? lol I never know what day it is so I understand the where am I thing. teehee You so silly. I just want to feed you.

  • *tag* ! :) That was #1, I still need to get you somewhere else to catch up.

  • aw poop

  • I really enjoy watching you, you are really funny to watch! I'm glad I subscribed.

    Joanie

  • Hahaha this was great XD =)

  • oh.. you're writing me a check? i prefer cash.. but just cuz it's you, I'll accept check.

    *S7*

  • I made some of those sign's up(Stupid)and hand them out when people ask me dumb quistion's.LOL! It's gotten me in trouble A few time's,But Oh Well! I alway's found another Job! HEHE!

  • Tony...you are tooooooooooooooooo much!!!! awesome, def 5 stars!!

  • Good one, I feel your pain! AND customers cannot read, they just can't so signs do not help in guiding them.

  • These are hilarious. I could listen to this stuff for hours. In fact, I will.  I'm going to watch this 30 more times! LOL Great stuff, Tony. ;) -Doug

  • Thank you, my friend. :)

  • Oh the stories I could tell you about working at walgreens....the best is when they make out the check to CVS ...that one always cracks me up :)

  • Ah, the customer who actually writes the check to the wrong place. LOL, love those, babe.

  • haha that happens to me all the time. Or they try to hand me their CVS extra care card!

  • this is hilarious!!!! " about a pound and a half" lol lol lol  5stars

  • lmao!! These bookstore tips are hilarious Tony!! hehehehe. :)

    Kara :)

  • Thanks, Kara! *hugs*

  • Point made, but I have a question. Is it typical for people to steal credit cards and then go and buy books? (Especially since there are cameras everywhere.)

  • I have no idea...but it's not an issue if we always ask. :)

  • True. I just could not rid of the mental image of thugs knocking granny over in the grocery store parking lot and afterwards going immediately to the book store to by Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence. (I blame the cold medicine.)

  • Yes they will come in and charge like 700 dollars in books movies and cd's. it has happened a coiuple of times. Or they make their own credit card and then charge hundreds of dollars on it... the card won't swipe so clueless clerks punch in the numbers!

  • In my defense I do mix up Borders, Barnes & Noble, but I never think I'm at the mechanics or Target...

    Good rant, I will try to be more observant.

  • I'm SO glad I don't have to deal with that shit!!! Love you, babe!

  • but you did. you worked at a pizza place. we both know what those breeders are like.

  • Hell yeah! Don't gotta do it NO MORE!!

  • Oh boy! The public is way more annoying than bad clerks. If the clerk is cranky, it is probably from having too many strange customer encounters! ;)

  • Exactly. :)

  • lol

  • That was so funny and so familiar!

  • Thank you!

  • I had my credit cards stolen and I always appreciate it when a cleark asks me for my ID when taking a credit card!! You rock!

  • *Applause* Exactly. :)

  • oooh working with the public!!! so sorry my friend!

  • LOL it's okay. :)

  • hahahhahaah!!! whenever i pay with a credit card and the clerk asks for my id, i thank them for looking out for me :)

  • I do too! But on the other side, I've used my bosses credit card and the clerk hasn't said anything. There's a man's name on the card and a woman is using it...I don't think they even looked at the name.

  • I HATE IT when they dn't ask for ID. And I hate it when people get offended if I ask! :)

  • it's Marvellous!

    it's fabulous!

    it's sign543!

    xxx hugs xxx

  • Love you, my Twish. :)

  • You are hilarious...I love these rants:-)

  • Sue!! Love you, babe!

  • Hahaha, do you work here - totally lived it in my younger retail days. Great video!

  • Thanks!
