No more favors, especially for you

the not so triumphant return of Defective system kid.

I was in the middle of resurfacing about 10 discs when he walks in. our machine is pretty loud when it running but he decided to yell at me over the noise (when Brady was right in front of him to.)

"Can you fix my games!?!"

i turn off the machine and walk over to him, i heard what he said the first time but i just felt like being a jerk.

"What did, you say?"

"can you fix my games?"

"yeah, but I've got about an hours worth of discs to do before i can do yours."

the dad walks over and chimes in

"you can't just do 2 disc really fast?"

i think he was trying to flirt with me or something cause i could of sworn he batted his eyes at me.

"sorry i can't do that."

they walk around the store some more and rearrange our perfectly organized sections that we had just barely done while i continued on the discs i had.

about 5 minutes later
"are you done yet?"

"has it been an hour?"

"no."

"no."

i start to walk back to the machine when he says something that just couldn't go unpunished.

"thats not fair, i got these games from you and you have to do them for free!"

i stop dead in my tracks.

"whoa whoa whoa, when did anyone tell you we do free disc cleanings?"

he looked very confused
"whenever we buy a game from you, you have to clean it for free, thats the rules."

i walk over to his games and pop them open and look at them, scratched to hell and back, and i know for a fact we did not sell those games to him in that condition, because I sold them to him.

"we only clean it for free if its defective, not if you scratch the disc yourself."

"thats how they came, when i got them."

i look at his receipt.....2 months ago.

"so thats why you waited 2 months to bring them back, that makes perfect sense. its $2.99 per disc."

more confusion but still a little determination left.

"well Patrick always cleaned them for free!"
*Patrick is the old manager who was "let go" a couple months back*

"well Patrick no longer works here"

"what? why?"

"He was fired"

"What? why?"

"because he was giving you free disc cleanings and thats against company policy."

after that i just walk away and begin to clean discs again. seconds later he left.

on a side note, while i was cleaning discs and he was wandering the store he did stop by the defective system rack again and yes, he did stare at it for about 5 minutes.

what a moron
