Went into a Blockbuster yesterday and got PARKER for £4 on blu-ray.
Had a word with the lad behind the counter who I had worked with in my store for ten years. Looks like he's going to be looking for work. Despite what the government claims the jobs market is shite, certainly where I live and unemployment is going UP in the northwest. Hell it took me ten bloody months to get the job at ASDA!
Worse thing for poor Derek, the bloke I worked with. He's 38. Its not stated but a lot of doors seem to close in retail soon as you turn 30. Not sure if that's just where I live but I've been turned down for numerous jobs I was qualified to do only to walk in and see a twenty-something had got it. Worst one was CEX as the lads they have in there don't seem to know anything about the films they sell. I even had to explain how to put all my credit notes onto one voucher a few days ago as the employee didn't seem to realize you could do that.
