Acts of Gord

An old site but lots of truth for those of us that worked in the retail game store trade.

Gord has a nice cooler he keeps a good selection of beverages in for people to buy and drink at the store.  Though he never got around to getting pop delivered.  Instead, he just gets it from the bulk place. And the bulk place is like a Costco where they have someone at the door to check your receipt on the way out to make sure you aren't stealing anything.  Notwithstanding there is nothing to steal from between the door and the cashier.So one day Gord said "to hell with this", skipped the line, and started to just walk out the door."Sir!  Sir!  Your receipt!" "Yep, got it in my wallet."And Gord just keeps on walking with his purchases.  Leaving a confused receipt checker and a line of angry customers who hate how Gord does not "respect the rules."Hey!  Treat Gord like a customer, and not a thief. But now the fun times are over.  Gord set up accounts at Coke and Pepsi yesterday.

Why the hell does Costco do this anyway? They have a huge garage door to funnel people out single file? Seems pointless.

BJ's and Sam's Club does the same. Not like the receipt puncher is checking your trousers or anything.
