RENT AND IDIOT-True Story

RENT AN IDIOT

INT. TARGET STORE BURBANK CALIFORNIA - DAY
(RENT A COP, STEPHANIE)

STEPHANIE ATTEMPTS TO LEAVE STORE HAVING NOT PURCHASED ANYTHING

RENT A COP
Excuse me, can I see your receipt?
STEPHANIE
I don’t have a receipt, I didn’t buy anything.
RENT A COP
I need to see your receipt. (THEN) Ma’am.
STEPHANIE
I don’t have one.
RENT A COP
You can’t leave until you produce a receipt.
STEPHANIE
What?
RENT A COP
I need to see your receipt ma’am. What is it that you are not understanding?
STEPHANIE LOOKS AROUND TO SEE IF ASHTON KUTCHER HAS REVAMPED PUNK’D, BUT SEES NO ONE.
STEPHANIE
(SHAKES HEAD) Are you being serious?
RENT A COP
Of course. (THEN) Ma’am
STEPHANIE
Do you see any bags?
RENT A COP
No.
STEPHANIE
Okay then, you can clearly see that I haven’t bought anything.
RENT A COP
I need to see a receipt before you can leave the store.
STEPHANIE
So tell this to me like I am a two year old. In order to leave Target, I have to buy something?
RENT A COP
(LAUGHING) No, that would be ridiculous. (THEN) You just have to show me a receipt.
STEPHANIE
Okay. (THEN) Would you like to search my purse?
RENT A COP
I can’t do that ma’am. Just show me your receipt and you can leave.
STEPHANIE
I don’t have a receipt.
RENT A COP
Well then you can’t leave. I can’t let anyone leave until I see their receipt.
STEPHANIE
So I have to go buy something?
RENT A COP
If that’s the only way for you to get a receipt, then yes.

    No?

    My God, that man deserves to get tasered for being so stupid! Or maybe he was just taking pleasure in being obnoxious? Or maybe Target is suddenly losing tons of money?

    It's a little funny, though. Heh.

    I know right?
    I figure probably he was knew and they told him to stop every one and he just wasn't on the ball enough to think about what he would do if someone didn't have their receipt. :0)

And It Continues-This One Paid $.50 (cents) Per Drawing!

And it continues.. what is wrong with people?  "54 simple illustrations needed. Small files for web use only, either 300 x 300px square or 460 x 300px rectangle.Will provide font, sample finished product and detailed instruction sheet. Paying $0.50 per .JPG " yeah that's 50 cents!! I saw another one yesterday from New York area that is paying $4 per hour, isn't that illegal in this country, guess not.. I don't understand, a couple days ago I was approached to do someone's book. I gave him a fair price, meaning I quotes less than a day's wage per page and he replied back with insults saying he knows for a fact that illustrators get $5 per page, yes 5 bucks.. he is insane. What is worse is that he wanted fully rendered like hand painted work that would take more than a day.  This happens all the time. I don't understand why the value of an artist isn't valued anymore.  Look we can draw and you can't so pay us a fair wage!! I don'...

Box Office Frog at $150 Million

"The movie cost a reported $150 million" this is from an article about the Princess and The Frog. The thing that gets me is that Disney used an ultra small staff here in the Burbank studio, so small in fact that many of us, 100 or more, give or take, weren't even offered positions on the film and rather most of the work was shipped overseas or across the country to small independent studios for the explanation of, "to keep the costs down". The costs were not kept down at $150 million and that is a shame because they are setting it up to be a box office failure and thus putting the nail into the coffin of 2D films. The article by Julia Boorstin also said that the reason 2D films weren't making money was this, "hand-drawn animation tends to appeal primarily to kids while Pixar movies draw all ages." I would like to smack her because this is simply not true. Story is what appeals to all ages, and it has nothing to do with the medium. It makes me sad t...

Why Oh Why The 5

I have driven across this country many times, and have driven through almost every state. I have driven from New York to Florida, from Tucson to Dallas, Los Angeles to Seattle, across the 90, across the 80, through Colorado and Idaho, from Wisconsin through the deep south and I have NEVER seen the complete craziness that is on the 5 between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Seriously everytime I am on it, my IQ drops 10 more points. It is like taking the Walmart-esque crowd giving them keys to cars, some drugs and or drug money and unleashing them onto the 5. They don't seem to know the rules of, slow driving stay to the right! If you pass them, on either side, 8 out of 10 times they will chase you down. You can see blow jobs, hand jobs, white trash at it's best on this roadway and all the while feel like you are in a game of Frogger with the Sopranos and Mario Andretti trying to survive. I honestly don't get it. Why this stretch of freeway? Why are people like this? The only ...
