A rival ninja pranks him by putting industrial glue in Snake Eyes’ mask. He’s just too proud to ask for help.

This reminded me that it’s been 8 years since the last GI Joe movie and I guess their attempts to do a sequel or reboot of the franchise haven’t gone anywhere.

Right now there is an insanely popular and hard to collect toy line out there that has caused distress to target employees during this pandemic so GI Joe has some kind of relevance.

As someone who worked at toys r us for years back in the day this is always the situation. It's not cause GI Joe or Transformers or whatever thing is popular in the wider culture, it's because they don't make many and smelly action figure nerds are the most aggressive, pushy assholes you run into in that job other than upper class suburban women. Both groups seem to think stores are just not in the business of selling things and keep all our stock in "the back" for some reason and will flip out on you when you say you don't have any there and the places making this stuff don't give you any information on when shipments are coming.

I worked in a grocery store for two years, and god, how customers thought "The Back" was this mythical place where only the most freshest, newest product existed, and how just mentioning the words "The Back" would gain them access to it.

Consider the anecdotal nature of yourself ostensibly not engaging in said behavior in your one location vs what they, some of them professional shoppers, are experiencing as they encounter many workers in many stores and locations and not infrequently not being able to purchase something which if not housed in that building, though it almost certainly is, then is mistakenly somehow marked as being in stock in which case the customer cannot be blamed for believing it is. They can likely recite in excruciating detail the last many instances in which "the back" is a real place with a real door that is fully functional and can be demonstrably proven to be used for scalping. At this point it may be an issue of honor among thieves, to speak casually if inaccurately, in a number of cases but in all others it is customers who are simply earnestly and eagerly trying to not get screwed as they have been many times before. You're not wrong in the least about the conduct and attitude of many customers who don't shy away from confrontation about stock, especially today since anyone with a smart phone can very quickly get incredibly accurate stock counts at various large retailers which sell collectibles. No "but" about it. The other side of the coin, though, can be easily defended so long as the customer isn't ugly; they can and should push because statistically most customers will be collectors and of course they should give themselves every opportunity to beat the scalpers.

Sometimes, if I know a thing isn't in the back, I'll say that I'll look for it and just get a couple minutes away from the register while I check my phone.

I didn't mind customers asking me to check The Back. It was the people who didn't believe when I did or the ones who didn't believe me when I knew the answer without having to check who were the jerks. Lady, were you not in earshot of the person from five seconds ago who also asked about the yogurt? It was on sale, it's gone.

The idea of “the back” is kind of a weird hold over from when all companies where local and “the back” was the warehouse. That generally doesn’t exist anymore.

I love that on top of the cape and the glasses and the golden suitcase full of cash, all of which are well molded and painted for what I assume is an under $20 figure, there's also a gun holster made out of the cheapest looking red plastic imaginable.

I used to train my team to just go and pretend to look in the back, it wasn't worth the effort arguing with a customer.

I usually just go in back, roll in some dust, wet my hair a bit, tear some of my clothes, then do squats until I'm out of breath to return and tell them "I'm sorry... I tried everything!!"

The stuff the employees bought wasn't in "the back." It was in their lockers or bags or cars. That poo poo got snagged up the second it was off the truck and no one was reselling in the store. You cannot beat the scalpers that work there.

Longtime lurker. My grandpa passed away today. For a brief period he worked soliciting investors for Canadian-produced films. He would bring prospective scripts back to my dad plus brother and sister when they were kids and they would pick which ones they liked best. Here are the films he helped get made.        He loved to spoil this one's ending (I think the table being seated with all the dead kids is the only part he remembered - he thought it was hilarious). I bought him a framed original for his b-day.   Love you Papa.

This seems to be flying real close to the sun, considering that the original short story that would become Dune was in fact called Dune World.
