 DK> So take every story like that....... and I was that manager. Our stories
 DK> all start where yours end. :(

 AP> You know back in 1992 I was working at Circut City.  I was an
 AP> operations manager which meant I ran the front counter and the
 AP> warehouse.  I had an ignorant redneck who was bringing back an 8 year
 AP> old VCR of which he purchased a one year warranty and began demanding a
 AP> refund.

 AP> When I finally (and firmly) told him it was 7 years past it's warranty
 AP> he finally resolved to the fact that it wasn't going to happen and he
 AP> began to soften up a bit... not appearing so angry.  He then told me
 AP> well sir you can stick that VCR up your ass.

 AP> Now I heard that like at least five or six times a day and had a
 AP> comeback to that one which usually melted even the harshest of
 AP> customers especially at closing time.  I looked at him and said, "I'm
 AP> sorry sir, but there's no more room after the refrigerator and the big
 AP> screen that walked in before you."

 AP> To that he picked up the VCR and threw it at me opening a gash on my
 AP> arm that took 18 stitches.  A local cop looked at me and said Allen you
 AP> have always been good to us... while he was putting Mr. Angry Customer
 AP> in cuffs all the while saying what I couldn't about having the nerve to
 AP> bring back an 8 year old vcr in the first place.  The Cop, who was a
 AP> Lieutanant said, "You need a career change... to something where you
 AP> don't have to take no ___ off of no one."

 AP> Meanwhile I was bleeding heavily and the EMT's got there.  My blood
 AP> pressure was even dropping and they sent me to the hospital to be
 AP> treated.  The cops were so worried when they came back in the
 AP> neighborhood they stopped by the hospital with an application.  I
 AP> started the academy three weeks later.

 AP> Allen
