Gave Them Hell At Best Buy This Morning

Last edited Thu Nov 28, 2013, 03:35 PM - Edit history (1)


I went out to fetch my wife and I some espresso at a ma and pa coffee shop. So on the way back I drove by the Best Buy in town.
 
There were 10-12 people camped out on the sidewalk shivering away on their cell phones not really looking like they were enjoying themselves or the wait. I rolled down my window and said why dont you go home and enjoy your family or friends and some hot dinner and STOP GIVING CORPORATIONS PERMISSION TO LOWER THE BAR ON ITS WORKERS AND YOURSELVES.
 
I told them their BLACK FRIDAY purchases could be done cheaper online and the sale price really isnt a sale at all.
 
I got the dead stare look like I was talking to zombies.

2. So basically you went out of your way to be an asshole?

3. Those people were there by choice,

if that's how they want to spend their Thanksgiving, who are you to tell them to go home?

5. You probably gave them something to talk about at least

7. If I'd been there, you would have gotten a very colourful response from me...

If I was standing around minding my own business and some random pulled up and started yelling at me, the polite response would be: "Hello, random person who's suddenly pulled up and started yelling at me, but it's none of yr business if I shop online or not. Instead of exploiting 'ma and pa coffee shop' owners on what I assume is a public holiday in the US, why don't you go home and make yr own ****ing coffee?'
 
I suspect the 'death stare' was actually the 'WTF???' look...

13. Interesting, you complain about workers working on Thanksgiving..

yet you went to a place where workers working on Thanksgiving made you an espresso. Hypocrisy much? If that coffee shop had been closed you would have been cursing.

14. Did you bother to wish them a happy Thanksgiving?

I bet they had a nice bird for you.

And, it's gone. C'mon DUmmys. If you have no problem making yourself look like an asshole to strangers in line at BB, why not stand up and look like an asshole to other DUmmys?

Assuming this happened, which I highly doubt of course.

It is DOTY time rsmith...you gotta try a lot harder then that. 

[Skul]

Even DUmpmonkeys get it right now and then. 

[BlueStateSaint]

Seeing that it is Thanksgiving, I'd bet that he got a lot of birds with that.

[NHSparky]

Broken clocks are correct more often than DUmmies.

Seriously, I don't care for the whole commercialization crap, and I'm going to stay as far away from any retail establishment as I can this weekend.

That being said, to each their own, DUmbasses.  There's a reason these places are open even today.  It's called CAPITALISM.  Businesses are reacting to the demands of their customers and extending their shopping hours.  Trust me, you hypocrites take full advantage of it, bitching about it all the while.

     Why didn't he berate the mom and pop coffee place for being open? I know he's a stupid, illiterate bastard, but he can't make his own coffee once a year?

A couple did ask that.  Never did get an answer.

Awww....rsmithnumbers went wee, ... wee, ... wee all the way home.  Spanked by the retards.  Top your Thanksgiving generic pot pie with that, goof.

I don't believe he went to a "ma and pa" coffee place ------> he had his ass in line at Starbucks. 

But that would have ruined his whole made-up story.  He was just too stupid to realize that even the DUmmies wouldn't fall for his crapola story.

Probably.

Suppose one of those people in line looking like they were enjoying themselves had, like, no family. Maybe the evil 1% Walmart took out his whole family, and is holding them hostage stocking Black Friday shelves, maybe he came out the closet last Thanksgiving and was shunned this year by his homophobic Christian family. Maybe his family are all right wingers and he chose, for the good of mankind, to cease contact. Maybe his entire family died due to carbon emissions. So he decides to pull it together enough to go out and seek companionship in front of Best Buy, while smoking a J for warmth. And here comes DUmmy judging.

In all the history of the Dump, poor simpleminded rsmithnumbers may be the worst bouncy tale author ever.

I can't remember anyone who could so consistently combine unbelievable situations with ludicrous dialog.

The guy is dumber than Amber Hoyt, dumber even than Rob McGrath.

And after two years of truck driving college he's driving an airport shuttle which he's never learned to back up.

He's in my top five.

[BattleHymn]

He's in my top five.

Same here. 

[Karin]

consistently combine unbelievable situations with ludicrous dialog.

Agree completely, GOBUCKS, he's been a perennial favorite of mine for as long as I've been here.  His bouncies always end up casting himself in the worst possible light as well, so that he always ends up looking like an asshole.  Is this on purpose or inadvertent? 

Hey dandi, thanks for saving this before it got flushed.  I never miss an RSmith bouncy.

I know it's been discussed ad nauseam but they act like it's something new that places are open on Thanksgiving, then they get all mad about it because people have to work on Thanksgiving.  This coming from the group of people who doesn't give a damn about the real family relations.

Places have been open for years.  I remember my parents buying flooring back in the 80's from a lumber company that was having awesome Thanksgiving sales.  And what about all the gas stations and grocery stores that have been opened for as long as I can remember.

These people are so full of hypocrisy, and that's why I keep coming back.

[BattleHymn]

Well, there you have it, primitives.  You've had three CCers tip their DOTY hands to show that the rsmith primitive is in there somewhere.

Note that even though characters like the LocoNuts primitive will easily arrive somewhere in the 20 names announced, his standing has certainly slipped a little from his late summer early fall posts.  You've got to keep it fresh and ridiculous, which is what rsmith always manages to do.

For aspiring DOTY primitives, I would suggest studying rsmith's posts, and try emulating them, rather than emulating the bile that LocoNuts has been putting out as of recent.

[Traveshamockery]

Maybe rsmithnumbers was telling the truth:     

Late Thursday evening, an activist donned a Santa Claus outfit and “shamed” the Thanksgiving shoppers who lined up outside various retail stores in anticipation of so-called “Black Friday” sales.

“Thank you for not spending time with grandma and grandpa and leaving them and destroying the very fabric of society for buying more slave goods,” the activist, identified as Christian conspiracy theorist Mark Dice, shouted at Kohl’s shoppers.

“Thank you for ruining the tradition of Thanksgiving,” he shouted at another crowd. “You’re parasites on this country!”

So he spent time away from his family to complain that other people weren't with theirs?

some espresso at a ma and pa coffee shop

I realize that Starbucks is bad for DUmp cred, but is there really such a thing as a "ma and pa coffee shop"?

Poor, stupid rsmithnumbers.

We have one here, owned by a local guy and his wife, my wife buys coffee from them.

Well, DUmmy "rsmith numbers" tried to warn us all in one of the local rags:

Walmart and McDonalds add little value to local economy | Letters
 
posted Nov 22, 2013 at 2:28 PM


How much more will you tolerate in the name of saving a buck or get a faster cooked burger before you say "enough?"
 
Recently, two major names that have multiple units here in Federal Way took insulting their employees to another level.
 
Walmart had a Thanksgiving meal food drive for their employees, asking customers and employees to donate food in pretty little bins.
 
McDonalds posted some tips to help their employees make it through hard times on their McResource employee support website. One tip instructed that employees could stretch their food a bit farther if they busted it up in pieces, and another tip said that they could sell unneeded personal items on eBay or Craigslist to raise additional funds.
 
To add to insult, McResourses has a link to their state DSHS website so the employees can apply for food stamps.
 
Both of these companies continue to see profits rise each year. Their executive management receives pay raises and obscene bonuses, and the employees see none of it. The other thing they share in common is they are the biggest benefactors of the social safety net. Each Walmart store, according to Dailykos exploits approximately $400,000 annually in social welfare due to the fact that they do not provide a living wage. Their CEO makes more in one day than the average employee makes in one year, all the while the corporation makes over $15 billion in clear pure profit. Walmart is also guilty of distorting union values.
 
Here in Federal Way, it would be an interesting study to see how much Walmart receives in tax breaks for their two stores and how much of the register receipts stays here in Federal Way and not Bentonville, Arkansas.
 
I would bet that that Walmart doesn't add any real value to our local economy and tax base. Yes, that is probably true with other retailers, but Walmart consistently boasts on TV how they change their employees' lives and local communities for the better. I'll bet very few of the Federal Way Walmart employees can afford a mortgage or rent here in town.
 
So while you are preparing your Thanksgiving evening shopping list, ask yourself why you find it beneficial to be roped into the store like cattle on Thanksgiving night by our capitalist culture. Yes, I understand that employees can choose where they work, but there are a lot who cannot. Walmart employees are not paid premium pay for putting their napkins down and putting on their blue smock so you can get a bargain that is costing you far more in many other ways that you are likely not aware of.
 
After all, who is paying for those food stamps?
 
Think about it this holiday season.

those employees should all drive airport shuttle busses
