Working in a Bookstore Part 5

[thespiscraeft]

@silbatooty221 - You know why it's stupid? Because it's 100% accurate. I won't say what book store I work at, but I have deduced that it is the same one Sign543 works at (due to various clues throughout this series). All of it... is... true. And on a daily basis. If you think this is stupid, then you haven't seen the customers to whom he is referring.

[silbatooty221]

This is stupid and so are all your other ones. He looks like Beaker from the Muppet Show. Meep meep meep.

[Kaacee71]

I worked at a Party Shop and one time a man bought some uninflated latex balloons and a few hours later he wanted to return them because he said that when he blew them up with his mouth that they didn't float. I told him that unless he had magical breath then he would need a helium tank to get them to float...DOH.

[Countryman456]

Funny, Funny, Funny!! :)

[AlwaysIndependent]

[Ardenwolfe]

These are awesome. Keep 'em coming.

[postdesrapides]

As a bookstore owner, I wish I could say some of these things to customers. You've hit the nail on the head

[Act2Books]

Cool beans!

[FuneralOfHearts1994]

Who ever likes this is dumb... And who ever thought to make a video like this is gay with no talent.

[DesignerQoo]

Get a life!

[Is3rf]

I love stumbling upon random videos such as these. Nice job! More videos plz!

[iLinGa1]

awesome awesome awesome awesome :D

[datfunk101]

pretty sure this guy is a pedofile....

[sign543]

If you are going to accuse someone of something...at least learn how to spell it! ;P

[hehthurr]

oh no, the ominous threat of "ill go to barnes & noble".

okay, go there. then THEY can deal with you.

[m4xXizZ]

bock bock fuck me hard

[Shaneserface]

this is stupid

[sign543]

Oh, I'm sorry you didn't like it. Let me run over to your channel to get some ideas from your videos to see how to make stuff you'll like. WOOPS! You don't have any videos of your own. Seems the sum total of your talent is to collect videos from people with more talent and creativity than you. Pity, that. ;)

[carrierox411]

Bahahahaha, you go signguy. Hilarious. I bet you could get a contract with a label as a comedian. :D you're awesome. make more bookstore bits!! They're hysterical!!

[silbatooty221]

@sign543 I agree they are stupid and you can’t take criticism.

[copanameri]

hahaha ur so funny.... scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chunkybut555]

LOL!

[lunariris]

Dude! You are so lucky you don't work on commission!

[fehquig]

Ah! The public! Gotta love... On second thought, loathe...

[tubeeorrnottubee]

HAHAHHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAA-*hicc­upp*-HA-*hic*-HAAAA

I hope you break your promise.. well, maybe bend it a little bit, about "Last one of these..promise!", and MAKE MORE of these!!! CLASSiC stuff! *****! hugs;)

[MalyssaAK]

too funny you are hilarious!

[sharkiemc]

Awesome! I work in a bookstore, too.  I think I know all these people.

[childre24]

LOL, my hubby worked at a bookstore and he had a lot of the same experiences!

[pbeachmike]

i think you are pure gold...

i'm new to you list of subscribers so,

i've got a bit of catching up to do...

~peace~

=]:>~

[sign543]

WELCOME...and a huge thank you!!!! :)

[YouAreJustJEALOUS]

Do You Really Own A Store Called

"Sign543 Books And Music?"

=]

[BoatonSea]

UGH- I work as a Beauty Advisor at a Lancome Counter. Glamourous? I think not- a whole shitload of idiots looking for something free, or wanting to complain to me about random CRAP! Where did I sign up for that?!!!!!! I love what the guy said below, "retail would be so much more enjoyable without the customers," AMEN!

[adrianontherocks]

Working in retail would be so much more enjoyable if it weren't for the customers. I LIKE books. I enjoy sorting and organizing them. Unfortunately, since I started working in a bookstore, I haven't had time to read.

[PlanBModels]

Amen! I know the feeling. lol

[Chanfan2]

what about the dazed and confused look from customers when you ask them for the ISBN?

[TheColorOrange621]

This is my favorite one. The phone conversation was hilarious! :)

[choomanfoo]

I wonder if they did?

[Intelligo]

I work in retail as well (Gamestop) and get things like this all the time. Well done man.

[bunnirific87]

hahah wow

[tubeeorrnottubee]

AHHhehehehehehheheh... Ohhhh what you do go through! I just love these!!!xD

[itzjussme23]

lol. everytime you do "scoot" it makes me giggle.

nice little series.

[sign543]

Thank you! :) Love that word. "Scoot!"

[tubeeorrnottubee]

hehe, one of our cats is named "Scooter"~ he scoots out of our way a lot.. well, sometimes INto our way.. a lot, at top speed..

there have been no cataclysmic catastrophes as of yet, however~

[Jicknsherry]

Oh Sign you know how much I like this Bookstore series that you do so well. I hope you continue they are absolutely hilarious.

[ButterRivaLs]

Oh, I just love the one who thought it was OK to copy a page (or take a photo of it with his camera phone). Jeesh.

Poor Tony (and his coworkers). :(

[xlizlennonx]

Here's something that happened to me.

A woman comes in & shows me her purse. It should be noted that her things were still in said purse.

"Hi, I got this bag here three months ago & this strap broke. I'd like to exchange it."

"No, I'm sorry, the bag is obviously used."

She stormed out vowing to remove our store from her friend's good favor.

Come on... even WAL-MART has a 30 day policy.

[billifer]

Sometimes I think we spend way too much time and effort teaching idiots how to be half-literate. If only the intelligentsia were allowed in bookstores, then it would make all our lives better. On the other hand, there would be three bookstores in the country.

[MalyssaAK]

hahaha ur so funny!

[6XstringXsamurai]

the difference between cowboy hats and tampons:

Cowboy hats are for assholes.

[Sikosm]

i love ur "scoot"

[Bree5]

lol...nothing more funnier than real people! ;)

[Perroquet51]

This was your best bookstore vid, yet. Very funny!

[GroceryBag]

Bawk bawk.

[Furnifur]

You get some purdy smart people's dere in Cali forn i a.

love ya!

[cmoorecole]

yay

[windbreeze07]

I don't know how you can put up with people like that all day! I would of rung their kneck's! LOL!

[Bostorican1969]

Tonyyyyyyyy,,What zup my friend!!? Going to see Zipster?,,Big hug buddy,,Have fun,,oh,,excellent vid,,as always!

[robrobbins]

Do you have that new novel by Ernest Hemingway?

[Suzanne42]

I love this video series. Seriously, there are too many morons in the world! They should all be deported to Mars. lol

[souixana]

I don't care what kind of video you do, I love everything you post. Hope you have a wonderful time when you see Zipster. Safe trip!

[bronzeartist00]

I love these. I have had all these happen in the college bookstore I used to work in. If there was a major snowstorm people would call and be mad that we were open. Hmmmm...here's a concept. If the weather is too bad for you to leave your home stay in! I am not forcing you to come, nor do I want you here with an attitude like that. LOL

[krazytaru]

hahahaha you forever make my day with these.. no matter how bad a day i am having or how lousy i feel watching these make me laugh so hard.

[Momoftwinsplus1]

Good one as usually, Can I just come to your store sometime and sit and watch? I have a feeling I might just crack up all day. Oh and I don't intend on buying a book there, I might sit and read it or take a picture of it, but God forbid I should BUY a book in a bookstore. :-)

[funkwurm]

ooo, good stuff, nice to see the last one wasn't the final one.

[wildbrain03]

Really makes you wonder whether or not people are listening at all! OR thinking before they speak!

[angeliquestarsmommy]

No what's really bad is, when you work for the "Everything is $1" store and people ask you how much is this? AGHHHH Are you serious?

[RobNorthampton]

If they ask for a nondescript book, just say

"Ah yes! I know the one you mean. Unfortunately, the author recalled all copies of it because of the Writers' Strike. Sorry"

[xyxaxsoon]

im sure ive mentioned it before but..

a customer comes in and asks for a cd I look it up only to find that it has been deleted and is no longer in production and explain this to the customer and apologize for not being able to get it......

to which they reply,

"well can i order it then ?"

no IQ required for shopping!

[BOBIzizou87]

Lol....we all probably have worked in some costumer service....anyway....yeah people have alot of stupid questions...

But you must be patient and nice...

Love the vid! 5 stars!

Take care!

p.s.: Do you have autographed book section? lol

[Beachmama57]

I love hearing about your day(s) in the bookstore! You're a clever guy but I would think these customers would make one feel like a downright genius!!

[kieron2007]

i love this series of vids, keep em coming Tony

[cynlynj]

Dealing with the general public can be a scary thing.

[no1funkydiva]

I love these bookstore vids! People are just weird. Working in customer service, you learn that all types of strange and unusual people live in this world. It can be quite scary. Some people, you've just got to pray for their sterility.

[DawndeeDALLAS]

hehehehehehehehehehehe~

[peggyisme]

Excellent job...BTW I do wish customers would stop going from one bookseller to another with the same question hoping the first 4 were wrong!

[mysteryglo]

Ya gotta love em!! I wonder if they realize how stupid their questions are? LOL Do they make you laugh each day or what??

[twilitedawn11195]

You are one of my "must see" channels, for exactly this type of video! Lovin' it! Also, I am very VERY impressed with your boy. He is so talented! <3 Debi

[TheGreatAndMightyMe]

We need natural selection back.

[KiddContagious]

i love it.

i need to get some new books.

♥hugsMicahel

[Zublime75]

Loved it !!!

There are really dumb people out there lol

[dubaiedge]

i used to work in a bookstore- chain- it was the worst job of my life. and i include fast food and cleaning poop out of old peoples' butts here.

[Bikermom69]

LMAO! Nice one Tony!

[RedMoonCafe]

Working in retail during the holiday season is the absolute worst! Clueless, stressed-out holiday shoppers gave me reason to give up that career years ago. I'm sure you have "Nightmare before Christmas" tales to tell about the bookstore......Please!

[alphaba2]

I felt like I was watching canned laughter sitcom. Who came up with that, anyhow?

[TheSumpPump]

Love that beat

[CrazyWoman1979]

I worked in retail for years and all I can say is .. YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON LOL.. I could tell you stories ha ha

[Aprildew]

love this series lol. "I just wanted to see if you were open " lmao

[Tobie2]

LOL!

[itsyourohio]

bookstore idea, zip was telling me about this. its amazing :]

oh

and yes you need a coffee shop TONY :]]] makes reading better :]

another good video

[ZeroPunkDreamer]

This is my favorite video series of yours!

[Mom2AJ]

LMAO ;D

I LOVE your videos!!!!

Thanks for the laughs.

[anmoose]

ROTFL!! These are classic, Tony! SO true to life. Some of them also play golf.

*Snowbird with that cowboy hat walks in* "I'd like a tee time."

"Sorry, but the course is closed today for overseeding. There's a sign on the door."

"Yeah, I saw that. So can I make one for after lunch?"

"Grrrrrrrrr..."

And worse, these people drive cars!!

Moosie

[Jicknsherry]

Ohhh, yahhhh Tony I just knew you had more tales to tell. I love these.:)

[TonyDi]

Oh man Tony those are priceless. You could do a whole stand-up routine on that premise alone....and well...you are. Sort of!! BUT these are hilarious. Are people really that thick? Apparently in book stores they are...well other places too. Funny stuff.

[sillyputtytastesgood]

Keep 'em coming bud... I'm writing each of them down, so I can go to my local bookstore and try them out.

A steak dinner to whoever correctly guesses how long it'll take before they start kicking my ass...

[insidethemusicbox11]

working in customer service myself, i never cease to be amazed by the stupidity of some people.

[eire138]

haha! I once worked in a video store.....very similar...

[russell56443]

God I love this series Tony!!!

I think I know that phone guy lol?

He calls YOU and it's like pulling teeth to find out why he called???

[Zipster08]

Never OVER ESTIMATE the intelligence of the general public! You'll just be disappointed!! Love you, Babe!

[theguy295]

someone asked me today if we "actually sell staples at Staples".

I said "No, it's just a catchy name", as I wondered to myself where humanity was going.

[DatAintRight]

Uhhmm...will yall be carrying Oprah's new book about her youtube experience?

;) TD

[sign543]

Haha, that would be a good one, babe!

[Kouksie]

One of the many reasons I do NOT miss retail jobs! you have patience my friend.

[LordTempist]

We went to a bookstore the other day and we thought of you:)

[sign543]

Haha, nice!

[IAGuy06]

They say never underestimate the stupidity of a criminal..... I guess they aren't the only ones. :)

[Dlorezzz]

Tony, has it ever occured to you that these same people have youtube accounts ?? Maybe that explains all the drama. Also, they have cars and we drive along the highway with them every day.. Life is really scarey..Keep this series going . It is hilarious.. Just 3 more days !!!!! Yaaaay...

[kgorall]

Having worked in a couple of bookstores, I feel your pain.

[chikkagrl]

These bookstore videos are awesome! LOVE THEM!

[sign543]

THANK YOU!!

[xgobobeanx]

you make the best videos tony!! i cant wait to meet you one day!

[sign543]

Thank you, Jill. :) *hugs*

[Tuulish]

rofl ..

[Simmian7]

i think this one is the funniest in the series...

*S7*

[ladypn]

Hate to sound like a broken record, but I'm going to say what I've said with every one of these - HOW do you DO IT?  LOL I'd be socking people left and right, probably would'nt be good forbusiness, would it? :)

[kidblood1]

You like talkin on the phone don't you ??

[donnyboyblue]

These are awesome, in addition to kids, adults say the craziest things.....am sure you have heard it all or have you.......you got that book I have been looking for for the past 5 years? I think it was in small print if that would help you some...I know you might be busy but I sure could use your help in finding it ok? and btw, have a great time with Zipster and do be gentle he looks fragile!! peace out.

[sign543]

LOL, will do.

[catrienmaxwell]

Hahahaha! That was funny. Thanks for the smile..I needed it today. :-)

[sign543]

You're welcome....love it when you comment. :)

[starlight8353]

yay! i love these. people are sooo dumb.. (for a while i thought it was only texans!)

[sign543]

They are everywhere I'm afraid!

[BEENDOWNHEARTEDBABY]

That is just too fuckin funny! Whoa! People! I will admit I say really dumb shit to the cute clerks at the book store near my flat, anything to just interact with the cute clerks, I have a mad crush on them and well now there is a restraining order, oh well so what, I don't read all that much anyway!

[sign543]

I used to! Until I started working in books!

[TimberGeek]

Funny how that happens...

[VisualEyeCandy]

Do you have a copy of a book called, "Fat guys that are teased all of the time"?

[sign543]

STOP BEING A VICTIM! :)

[UareAputz]

I thought you were dead? Nice trick, but Jesus already did it!

[robertantonnyc]

I love that laugh track man. Do those people actually exist. wow. "I wonder..."

[sign543]

No idea, my friend. I bet those are actual tracks used for sitcoms. :)

[robertantonnyc]

lol, I meant the ppl you're spoofing, but that's another thought you brought up.

[thenudo]

HAHA!! I love these series!

[sign543]

Thank you!

[Gigolo8]

LOL, aren't customer wonderful?

5*

[KIRKIN2112]

Too funny!!! I deal with this mantality all day too. Makes life a little less boring, just gotta know how to speak dumb ass.

[sign543]

LOL! Exactly.

[Joan3424]

I love your bookstore videos, they all rock!

Joanie

[sign543]

Thank you, Joanie!!

[Illuminatta]

I know. Ain't it grand working with the public? Grrrrrrrrr.

[mumbaidoug]

Are these people for real when they ask this stuff? And if so, I wonder how they manage to keep themselves alive on a day-to-day basis. lol Great stuff, Tony. ;) -Doug

[1938superman]

When I'm dealing with the public I'm wearing a smile on the outside but inside I'm screaming AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AHHHHHHHHH!!!

[VooBells]

Scoot! Roffle.

[PrincessDiana161]

This series cracks me up LOL

[iheartslug]

Hey, I'm looking for that book they made the movie of. You know, the one with that woman in it? Can you help me?

[QuinnEGorges]

I love these.

[pablokickasso417]

Sometimes people say things that are SO stupid that you just have to wonder if they're doing it on purpose.

[twish1999]

It's Fabulous!

It's Sign543!

:-)

x hugs x

[ASECONDCHANCEAROUND]

[mylilsin]

[RiddleSpider]

You would look wonderful in an orange jumpsuit. And I know you are in to bondage.

[mylilsin]

[RiddleSpider]

Oh, just put a purple scarf around your neck and it will look great! Scarves are good for covering hickeys also.

[mylilsin]
